Clipper System

 Light Snow November 16th 

We currently have Light snow falling outside with temperatures in the low to mid 20s all across the area, the snow is sticking! The snow is light and powerdy. This snow if from a fast moving Clipper system moving southeast, Not all of the area is seeing the snow, most of the snow is West of a line from Siren to Cumberland and Dallas, but the heaviest snow is in Southwest Polk and St Croix Counties, places like Osceola, New Richmond and Hudson are seeing some heavier snow. Total Accumulations from this event could range from a Dusting to 0.50" or 1" in areas with heavier snow west of Frederic. Clayton and Prairie Farm here in Clayton so far we have gotten a Quarter Inch- .25. I will update this post with how much more we get! Weather over the next few days will stay cold Expect Lingering Snow showers Tonight and Monday but little to no more accumulations. Lows tonight will be in the upper teens in the Danbury and Minong areas, to the low 20s in the south.  Monday Maybe some snow showers early then maybe some clearing later. Highs will Not make it above freezing with the warmest areas south, and reaching only the low 30s, below 32 with Highs in the north only in the mid 20s! Monday Night Very Cold weather will settle in, under clear to Partly Cloudy skies Temperatures will drop! lows should be in the low teens with Upper single digits possible, mainly in the north, But a Very cold night ahead for Monday Keep the fire nice and hot! Tuesday We should see Sunshine but Highs only in the upper 20s and low 30s. 

It looks like we are getting into a Dry but Winter like weather pattern over the week with Cold sunshine and highs on some days reaching the low to mid 30s but most days staying in the upper 20s and low 30s with nights in the teens! 

Thanksgiving Cactus in bloom!

Here is a photo of my Thanksgiving Cactus and yes it's not a Christmas Cactus! it's a very close cousin of Chrismas Cactus, There is not even much of a difference in between the plants! but you can tell it's a Thanksgiving Cactus by the sharp points and that then tend to bloom in November rather then December, The plant in the photo came with buds! so I kinda cheated this year, I have some others that I will post photos of later once they bloom.
