We've got your chilly readings now, but things are about to warm up.

I read your snowstorm report and indeed it was a doozy. Driving to Plymouth and back today I witnessed a lot of blowing snow and fields of drifts. Travel was a slow go.<br /><br />WxWatcher, well heck, you showing your students this stuff makes the past two years of blogging all worth it! My arms and shoulders are super sore today... but, better than my back hurting! What's next?

Thank you!<br /><br />You made the 7th grade classes here at Auxvasse jealous yesterday. We are in the first stages of our weather unit, which is perfect this time of year. There is so much weather to be studied! I showed them some of the blogs that I look at, yours included. The kids really enjoyed your pictures, and we had a great discussion about the nature and effects of snowstorms.<br /><br />(they got a kick out of your wovel, too)WxWatcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15741058675657292760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5796654132557410922.post-10937774663799869102009-12-09T23:02:54.467-06:002009-12-09T23:02:54.467-06:00Nice reports O, The storm was powerful here in Nor...Nice reports O, The storm was powerful here in Northwest Wisconsin as well, I pick up 8.50 inches with drifts a foot and a half deep! winds were 30MPH, We got tons of drifting.

Although, he may have been in some Lake Effect bands. It's getting cold now and the snow is blowing across the roads. My drive to/from work today was slow going... even on the back roads.

The temperature during the majority of the storm was right around 10 degrees above zero at my location, the snowflakes up here in Duluth were quite small thru most of the event which led to a slow accumulation process since I was too far away from the surface low and more entrenched in the arctic air, only had 3" here in Duluth, but the winds were crazy late last night and This Morning...Gusting close to 35-40 mph at times!

It's getting colder and I am about to get out there to remove the snow from the driveway/sidewalk. We are expecting high winds as the storm pulls out. Temps will be plummeting throughout the day. Single digits forecast overnight.<br /><br />I might venture north to my office in Neenah later this afternoon.

This snow looks very wet, it's cool to see it accumulating in the middle of the fence.<br /><br />Are you expecting high winds as the storm passes? We reached 31.1 mph early this morning here, and 44 just west of us. With all that snow sticking to the branches, you may be looking at power outages with that kind of wind.WxWatcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15741058675657292760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5796654132557410922.post-40396190744262525222009-12-08T23:30:40.131-06:002009-12-08T23:30:40.131-06:00It appears you need some trees or shrubbery in you...It appears you need some trees or shrubbery in your back / side yard.<br /><br />~ Main Street Oshkosh Tree PoliceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5796654132557410922.post-2628075418384493982009-12-08T21:12:56.367-06:002009-12-08T21:12:56.367-06:00Tim, WxWatcher.
