OSNW3 | OSHKOSH-NORTH

The snow started about 11am on Apr 19 and intensified as the day progressed. The afternoon brought many bolts of lightning and claps of thunder. By the time I was able to leave Holland, WI my car was covered in about six inches of fresh heavy wet snow. The drive back to Oshkosh was long and tedious as roads were snow covered. Winds were whipping as well enhancing the low visibilities. I was able to snap a few photos in Holland and get a measurement once I got home. At the time of observation the wind was gusting considerably and the snow was winding down. A radar loop and a webcam time lapse can be found by clicking the links.

Our neighbors across the street, the owners of the TAS , were raking their front lawn this past Sunday.

I also mentioned that a storm was coming and there will soon be snow covering the ground again. Either way, they are ahead of the spring clean up game and it inspired me later that afternoon to finish trimming a tree and picking up random small pieces of trash that some how float into my yard. It was a well deserved clean up after 95 days of winter. Winter officially ended at OSNW3 on Mar 22. It doesn't look like it at the moment with the fresh coating of snow or feel like it with temps dipping into the low teens at night barely making it above freezing for highs the next day. Adding the fact that we are locked into this pattern for another week or more will make it feel like winter even more. However, a warm up is coming. Plan for the second week of ...

Anyone that follows the LRC knew this storm was coming. Most forecast models were confused throughout the duration. Regardless, the outcome was extreme. Our travel plans for the weekend were canceled and we stocked up on some extra foods as we knew we'd be snowed in for up to 24 hours. I even purchased a new shovel to compliment the wovel. I will be uploading a Picasa web album and videos on YouTube as time allows. Also, I am including a link to the Post Storm Survey. Participation is highly encouraged. PSS Site .
