Light snow Oct 26th

Most places had there first snow of the season Yesterday, Clayton was one of them, it started as light rain then changed over to light snow in the afternoon but then after a few hours it changed back to rain. But later in the evening it changed over to sleet/ice pellets. not all places got there first snow but Osceola and New Richmond both reported snow.Sleet/Ice accumulation of our roof October 27th

Overnight the 26th We got sleet/Ice pellets which accumulated of rooftops, corners and some areas in the yard. This was the first accumulation of frozen preip type this season! the Sleet/Ice pellets that accumulated on the roof stayed most of Monday temperature's did not even get out of the 30s up here on our hill where cool northwest winds kept temps down, it felt much like November!Wind Damage October 26th

Wind in this system was not as gusty as I thought. the strongest wind actually happened around 9-10AM when we did get some very strong gusts. one short strong gust snapped this weeping willow branch right off, which nearly landed on my Thermometer ( the white pole) my Wind Gauge picked up a gust of 34MPH while most wind reported were around 35-40MPH here in Wisconsin Western Minnesota had reports of 55MPH from this system!

Great captures of the frozen precipitation, Derek. I haven't witnessed any yet, here at work in Neenah, but many of my friends have reported seeing flurries in Oshkosh and all around Northeast WI today. Perhaps I caught some falling on the OSNW3 webcam that I can "rewind" and see for myself.

I will attest that the winds weren't what they were cracked up to be here in Oshkosh either.

I reviewed the vids. The OSNW3 webcam did not see snow flakes today. After watching yesterdays vid, however, it confirmed my sighting of a few flakes.
