About .325 inches at Wabikon with drifts as high as 2 inches. The plow just went through my road!!!:thumbdown:


From Rhinelander channel 12's website:
Moisture Cutt Off Line

***Winter Storm Warning issued for Price, Lincoln, Langlade, Taylor, Marathon, Shawano, Clark, Wood, Portage, and Adams counties until 12 PM Monday***

***Winter Weather Advisory issued for Ashland, Iron, Vilas, Oneida, Forest, and Florence counties until 12 PM Monday***

High pressure to our north supplied a stiff wall of dry air across Price, Oneida and Forest counties throughout much of the day, inhibiting counties north of this line from receiving snow. Slowly but surely we will begin to see this moisture cut off line push further north overnight and allowing some snow to fall in the extreme north.

Counties below the moisture cut off line and towards central Wisconsin have received plenty of snow so far today. A report from one of our weather watchers in Stevens Point noted 8.0" of snow at 6:30pm. We have also had a report of lightning associated with this snowstorm at 7:30pm down in Ashwaubenon, Brown County. There is still plenty of moisture associated with this storm, and snow will be continuing to fall overnight, let's hope we can get more further north.

Station Snow Report Midnight: 0.8 inch, Liquid Equiv: 0.08, 10:1 Ratio

Hey dry air, move out of the way!!

I have figured out the weatherman formula. You take the actual amount of snow that will fall out of the sky and multiply that amount by 10 times. For example
.325 x 10 = 3.25" of snow predicted. So when us snowmobilers watch the weather reports every night looking for snow, we need to take the predicted snow fall and divide by 10 weatherman reports 4 - 7 " actual snow .4 -.7". And I'm think that JD might be in the same weatherman union, his reports lately seem to miss every storm.

See the formula works 150.2/10= 15.2 inch of snow for the season :lol:

In John Dee's defense, he made his last public prediction of the storm 48 hours before it got to Wisconsin. As RJB points out all the time, more than enough time for a storm to track 100 miles differently.

Yup and I'm sticking with that statement!

Who else would make a retired man load up his sleds and trailer 40 miles south or 60 miles north just to ride?
