Here in Wisconsin, we are forecast to have our first major winter snow event.
6-14" between midnight tonight and midnight Thursday night. Blowing and drifting with whiteout conditions possible.

Gonna be challenging getting to and from work at the firetruck factory.

Meoooooooooooooooooooooooooooow.

Currently +4C (about 40F) here in the sub-Artic, but that Wisconsion storm is due here about Friday or Saturday. Put the reflectors out today, since I don't mind shovelling snow out of the driveway, but I object to shovelling my front lawn out of the driveway after the city snow plows go by.

The storm that dumped on Mark in Wisconsin did even less than predicted in Chicago. Tom Skilling's early prediction was for a half inch in the city, while others were saying several inches. He revised it upward to 2-4 and even 3-6. So what did we get? 0.2 at O'Hare, 0.3 at Midway.

Where I am we've only had just one sprinkling of snow so far, and even that didn't stick. I would like it very much if it snowed on Christmas day though.


Sorry to disappoint, but you are more likely to be bailing out a flood than shoveling snow this Christmas!

It did not pan out nearly as bad as predicted here either.
I really had a laugh when I went to work yesterday and they had shut down the plant.
Like...this is Wisconsin, dudes. WTF????
6 inches of snow don't stop US. I did my driveway and went to work. When nobody else showed up, I drove 15 more miles and did Lori's driveway.

Sheesh......

Well it was sure cold enough for snow here at 23F(-5C) yesterday, but no such luck, the Apocalypse scared it all away...

They were predicting a 40% chance of snow on Fri the 28th, but not now, maybe that will change though.

Snow on the ground for two days in a row, forecasts highs of less than zero for the next few days. Might get a White Christmas!

It can all melt right after that.

We got a little bit of a break. Great thing is that the temp is nearing 40°F so everything we've accumulated over the last week is starting to disappear! However, we're due for a weeklong hammering.

Yep about the same here as well. Mind you, the UK west Country is a bit more than just soggy, whole villages are being evacuated.

Help!



Oh my... The rain doesn't stop here as well...

The news this morning said to be an official white Christmas, there has to be at least an inch on the ground. We will get flurries both Monday and Tuesday, but there won't be an inch. Wednesday, maybe.

It can all melt right after that.

Right.

Right.

The last time this area had snow, kind of hard to believe that a desert can get snow, but back in 2008 this area got 6" of snow, Victorville some 45 miles away got 1' of the stuff, the 15 from the pass to the border with Nevada was closed due to snow, that day it became very quiet...
