A quick measurement this afternoon during a break in the snow. I took two pictures of depths (to the right) as I quickly poked around outside at 15:30. More snow is possible later this afternoon and tonight, so this is not yet a final measurement.
Warnings downgraded.NWS Duluth has downgraded the previous Blizzard Warnings to Winter Storm Warnings, in effect until 7:00 Saturday morning, for an additional 2 to 4" across northern Wisconsin overnight.
Strong wind gusts near Lake Superior will also continue into the evening, as high as 45 mph. The highest wind gust I have measured in my forested location has been 31 mph.
Two pictures.1) All the tree branches drooping under the weight of the heavy snow. This is a look at the front yard.
2) The steps leading down from the deck to the front yard. Looks like I have a bit of shoveling to do tomorrow!
Shoveling is gonna be a chore! Only because it is April 11, though... right?! Alicia, my wife, just got home and said we're supposed to get 1-3" of snow overnight. That'd be neat. We'll think of all the Northern folk who are buried currently. Enjoy! Great report and photos!
ReplyDeleteI told my boys about your snow and they thought it was so cool to get that much snow. I tried to convince them that they would be sick of it by April, but to no avail!
