A Snowy Surprise. Snowfall totals across the area Sunday morning.

Snowy scene this morning November 29th



Most people woke up this morning surprised this morning and may have said " this looks like more snow then a coating!" I was one of those people, Snow started about 11pm-12am last night/this morning, Snow was mainly light, with a few moderate burst, Many places definitely picked up more then a coating, Some areas got as much as 2 inches of white dry fluffy snow!



Snowy Balsam Fir and White Spruce Trees.

I spoke to soon in yesterdays post! because this snowfall does break our snow less November that we were heading for, But I find this as a good thing, It really didn't feel much like November with out snow! Right now the places that got the most accumulations seem to be centred over Northeast Barron County Through Polk County, The more farther north and south you go the numbers drop off. places like Downsville and Menomonie and up north in areas like Minong may have just picked up a coating to a Trace. Cool temperatures today should allow for at least some snow to last through the day to evening, with highs only forecasted to reach the mid 30s, I will be watching how much snow melts during the day.

Nice snowfall photos, D. November snows often surprise people, even the forecasting folk. Just checked out the radar, looks like I might see a flake today. We'll see! I will certainly let you know if I do... :)

As far as the ice is concerned, it is not that way over here in the Fox Valley. I will do some investigation!

The new rain gauge is looking good! Which reminds me, with some snow maybe moving in today, I need to bring in the funnel and inner cylinder! The sun is shining currently though...

Cool O, I did do the cylinder thing, our 1.50" of snow melted down to 0.10" of water! I hope you at least see some flakes today!

Nice photos, dude! We're still keeping our fingers crossed for accumulating snow down here.

No flakes down here. Just round ice pellets... no accumulation.
