First Accumulation
This past week max temps remained below average each day. Along with the cool temps came OSNW3's first accumulating snow however. It was only a tenth of an inch, but none the less (daily video). The large Lake Effect events that dumped several inches in the UP and Northern WI only ushered in clouds and maybe a flurry from time to time for us down here as we remained mainly sunny and windy.

I witnessed about a half inch of snow accumulate from a short lived snow squall. Start to finish the squall lasted about 30 minutes. I was fortunate enough to have the time to document my first taste of Winter weather this season. Photo and video below.

Back home in Oshkosh, at OSNW3, my wife Alicia took a measurement as the snow ended. 0.1" had fallen here. (radar loop)

OSNW3 Climate Tidbits
The min temp on Nov 18 was 18.1 while the max was 31.5. With that said, the last time the min dipped below 20 was on Mar 17 when it dropped to 19.8 and the last time the max temp stayed below freezing was also on Mar 17 when it reached 29.8, a 247 day duration for both events.
Winter around here seems to last forever for some, but when you look at the amount of days in between Winter weather, it makes me appreciate our wonderful Winter season even more.

I can see in your camera is looks like you might have gotten more then an inch! did you see the Metor ? what a cool story!
ReplyDeleteDerek, I certainly did not see the meteor, only found out about it from a friend. It's super awesome! Yeah, I posted on your cbox, that we indeed received almost 5" of snow overnight. You can see more data of the overnight by checking out the links I included on you cbox post.
ReplyDeleteHAHA! Derek, I totally spaced and pressed post when I was writing the response to your comment. You see, I was going to link something and when I do that I compose the text in the blog entry editor because it's just easier... but then decided not too. Anyways, I didn't intend to create another blog entry. :)
ReplyDeleteYes, we got a good dose of snow last night... however I fear the sun will melt most of what we have by Turkey day. You may get some snow tonight, however... eh?!
