OSNW3 | OSHKOSH-NORTH

The first winter storm warning of the season was issued on Mar 2.  The storm was worthy of the warning and it reminded me how much I enjoy a snowstorm.  It is something that has been severely lacking in 2011-12 winter season. More on the storm can be found here . A little over two weeks ago I posted preliminary meteorological winter statistics.  I have now updated the numbers and they can be found here . Overall the numbers kept moving in the direction they were headed. Winter was abnormally warm and lacking in snowfall. Spring weather is just around the corner. Following the LRC and the trend it provides for temperature and precipitation, Oshkosh should be fully entrenched in spring by the end of March.  For a look at the trends please click here .

Most of the region is experiencing the same climate deviations as Oshkosh is this Month. Warmth and dryness. Our friends in Duluth, MN and Clayton, WI report a snow less March along with the warmth and dryness. For us here at OSNW3, we've recorded an inch of the white stuff and the Oshkosh WWTP has recorded 0.3" thus far ( more stations ). These numbers are very low and are in the top 10 of the least snowiest March's ever for Oshkosh. Also, OSNW3 has recorded ZERO days with a max temp below freezing. If the month ends this way it will be ranked at the top with four other March's in which no days recorded a max temp below freezing. 1977, 1973, 1942, and 1910. Complete rankings can be found here . Looking forward, forecast discussions suggest a warm up of Summer like proportions. Wildlife is abundant and only to become more so.
