First Snowfall 2011-12 Winter
The first winter storm of the season in Wisconsin dumped heavy, wet snow across the central and northeast part of the state. A band of 6 to 9 inches fell from the Waupaca area to Florence. The highest amount measured by an official NWS observer was 9.2 inches near Long Lake in Florence County. More info can be found here.

Oshkosh was under a Winter Weather Advisory. Early morning moderate to heavy rain fell. The rain turned to sleet. Sleet fell for an hour or two until a dry slot moved into the area. While is stopped precipitating I took a measurement.

The temperature jumped a few degrees and the snow changed back over to a snow/sleet/rain mix later in the evening. As far as frozen precip goes a total of 1.8" was measured throughout the day, 0.2" of that was all sleet early on. Overnight another 0.3" of snowfall fell and was measured at end of the 24 hour observation period.

Looks nice, Josh:) Enjoy the wintry weather!
ReplyDeleteTim, indeed. We are enjoying it, built a mini frosty just out of view of the webcam... all this snow will be gone in 24 hours and it makes me feel like a southerner. ;)
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the snowfall season in Oshkosh! It's funny that you got snow before us here west of you! Just barely missed us here in Rochester.
ReplyDeleteD, it is funny as early forecasts were calling for SE MN being a bullseye for the snow.
ReplyDeleteLOL, love the lil snowman. Congrats on your first snow!! I'm ready to get this season rolling.
ReplyDeleteWith la nina present again, are you expected to see a similar winter this year?
WxWatcher! Surprise! Haven't seen you out and about in a while. Hope things are well. I think winter will be a bit different this year compared to last year. I am putting my thoughts together now as I plan to release an Oshkosh winter forecast based on the LRC the week of Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteSnow, snow, where is OUR snow? We've got a system coming through the region. Don't think we'll see any snow here. Heading into Spokane tomorrow and we see a little there - a bit higher in elevation.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed the little snowfellow!
Bob, let's mark this system down for you. In 45 days from now, let's revisit to see if the same type of system is in the forecast! :)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the snow you may witness.
My daughter loved this first snow and wants more! I asked her to be patient. :)
