First 1" Snowfall - 2008/2009
The First 1" Snowfall of this season took place during the early morning hours of Nov 24. Due to the sleep pattern of our 4 week old I was able to sneak outside at 3:30am to take a quick measurement. I recorded 1.6" at the time while noting that the current conditions were peaceful... no wind with huge flakes falling (video). As day broke the snow had mostly moved out. After woveling the driveway and sidewalk, I recorded the 7am observation. 3.0" more had fallen since the previous measurement bringing the total snowfall to 4.6" with a water content of 0.30". An impressive snowfall for the first 1" snowfall. The NWS had forecast 1-2" and many people around the area hadn't realized it was to even snow. I was pleasantly surprised. (radar loop / daily video)
(Nov 24, 2008 - OSNW3)
High-fives go to MarkMartin for predicting the Frist 1" Snowfall at OSNW3 this Winter season. On Oct 14, 2008 at 8:37:04 pm he made this prediction: "Nov 24 - First 1" of snowfall at OSNW3 (the Canadian and Gulf air will battle for WI)". Again, nice job, MarkMartin!

Darn. I was so close! What is woveling?
ReplyDeleteLove the cloud link you sent! Mikey posted them the other day. Awesome!
Dew, you were very close! Nice work. It seems, the start of Winter up is not far off, but you never know. Woveling... well, it's what my snow removal contraption is called. Check out this video. :)
ReplyDeleteThose clouds in those photos are amazing!
Cool! It's like a wheelbarrow shovel thingie. Cool. Now... what's a chook??? You're going to have to educate me about winter stuff... don't get much of that down my way.
ReplyDeleteHave a great time at the LR airport! At least the internet is free!!! I've been to some where it wasn't, frustrating!
