Note- This is my last update here until late winter-early spring. Follow me over to the BigSnowPage where I do all of the same weather and events but with snowmobile trail info too. https:\/\/bigsnowpage.com<\/a> .<\/span><\/h3>\n

Greetings and welcome!<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Morning update- We had another dusting of snow overnight. Wabeno hit zero last night. At noon the TV says that Wabeno is at 10 degrees with a 3 degree wind chill. Athelstane weather says that we are up to 18 degrees with an 11 degree wind chill.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

9:45pm Monday night<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

It is the heart of the cold that is chilling my bones tonight. Looking at the TV weather channel 2-2 out of Green Bay they show Wabeno down to 4 degrees. Other area stations are a little better with readings or 7,9,10, and farther south 15 degrees. Our morning low is expected to be 2, with a -15 or -18 wind chill. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

On the other end of it we saw low 20s for a high temperature today, and there was some wind. Several stations on TV never made it to 20 today.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Tomorrow looks like a reprint of today.. lucky if we hit 20 for a high temperature and low temperatures overnight close to zero (2F).<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Our normal high today should be in the low to mid-40s and our typical low temp is about 25. That puts us solidly 20 degrees below normal, and for some people 25 degrees.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Ray\u2019s law of variability says that a 15 degree divergence from normal temperatures is common, 20 degrees abnormal but not all that unusual, 25 unusual, and 30 degrees very unusual.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Winter is here, and it is here to stay. I expect to see a little break in the arctic flow next week, but that also comes with a couple of possible big storms (11-22 and 11-27).<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This Wednesday a little snow (1-3 or 2-4\u201d) will mark an end of high temperatures of about 20 and bring some low to mid-30s. Saturday and Sunday we could get close to 40 with a little snow. Next week we could get into the mid-40s briefly.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Here is a picture of the ice lilies and ice chunks coming down the Peshtigo River By Rapids Resort <\/span><\/span><\/span>Mond<\/span><\/span><\/span>ay at about noon.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\nThis one is a picture of Caldron Falls Flowage from Echo Point about \u00bd mile upstream of Landing 11. It was frozen across as far as I could see and up the river too.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nThis one is at Boat Landing 11. I would have liked to walk out a little with a spud bar and ropes, but I was alone with no equipment and on the way to work. I could have easily walked more than a few feet off of the landing.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nOn the way to Crooked Lake Boundary Lake on the Oconto\/Marinette Co line at Hwy W was frozen across except for a very small open area in the middle.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The ground is well frozen. I don\u2019t mind that for the snowmobiling season as long as we don\u2019t get too much of a good thing. A couple of feet helps firm up swamps and hold the snow. Too much isn\u2019t good though. One year we had 6-8 feet of frost that froze septic tanks and incoming well pipes. That was a bitter cold snowless winter.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Looking at the TV I see that the central UP is getting some lake effect snow. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Apparently the dusting of snow that we had a couple of mornings ago stuck to the roads a little. I found a snow and ice covered spot in the forest that was heavily shaded by the pines. Yes it was pretty slippery there. I also saw where they salted Hwy A between Crivitz and Athelstane. There is another sign that winter is here.`<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

A lot of people really got caught unprepared for winter to start in late October. I am one of them. I Have stuff that is frozen that shouldn\u2019t be, my cars are not ready, I am about \u00bc of the way done with firewood, my Reddy heater, snowmobiles, and snowblower are in need of repair, and the list continues on for a while. Normally I would have 2-3 more weeks to wrap that stuff up. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I am not alone. People are finding out about cars that won\u2019t start, vulnerable plumbing, and winterizing that needs to be done. It is an unusual fall and a lot of us got caught by it. The official start to winter is still almost 40 days away.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Gun deer season is a little late this year, running from Saturday 11-23 until Sunday December 1<\/span><\/span><\/span>st<\/span><\/span><\/sup><\/span>. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

There is a deer hunter\u2019s bake sale Thursday Nov 21 at Firelane Bar from 3-6:30pm. The one at Jungle Jim\u2019s is Friday Nov 22 from 9am-3pm.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s news for today. Have a good week and thank you for visiting!<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
