Greetings and welcome!<\/p>\n
It looks like we have some weather headed this way. There are winter storm warnings for Forest Co and points north and west. They could see 9-14″. Farther south and east we are under a winter weather advisory with 4-8 possible.<\/p>\n
Looking at the forecast models, the ones that I use all agree on a three day precip total of 0.75-1.0″, and the GFS adds 0.25-0.5″ from about Wabeno north and west. Using a basic 12:1 ratio on rainfall equivalent, we are looking at 9-12, and likely a lot more north and west. (That seems a little high, but it is what the models say..) On the HPC QPF one spot about halfway between Eagle river and the Mississippi was pegged at 1.26″, suggesting 14-15″ of snow.<\/p>\n
We had a very cold night last night and a very cold day today. There was still 2″ of snow on the ground when I was out fetching some firewood at sunset. It is pretty unusual for snow to last a day in mid April, but it was cold enough that there wasn’t much melting.<\/p>\n
We had mixed clouds and sun, along with strong gusty winds. There were some big clouds getting blown in from the northwest, and you could see the snow falling out of them at a distance. It was pretty. On the ground, it meant sun one minute, and blowing snow the next. The snow didn’t accumulate, but it was an interesting day in weather.<\/p>\n
Tomorrow promises to be interesting too. The way that it looks now, the snow will start mid-morning, add up a little before taking a break, and then a lot more snow late day and overnight.<\/p>\n
Below are the current advisories and warnings as of 10pm Tuesday night.<\/p>\n
Have a good Tuesday and thank you for visiting!<\/p>\n
