Moderate snow across the region this morning. My lightning sensor (Stormwise LSU-2002) clicked a few times, so I had to check the radar (to the right). This image is from Wunderground.com.
One blip showed up on KDLH at 10:01 this morning just northwest of Duluth, MN.
Based on my sensor, and that a lightning signature showed up on the StrikeStar network (a network of personal Boltek Lightning Sensors), it looks like thundersnow is possible today.
In addition, the Storm Prediction Center (SPC) has issued a mesoscale discussion (# 149) for a large portion of Wisconsin (pictured below).
This discussion mentions that heavy snow is beginning to develop in Minnesota and Wisconsin, with snowfall rates approaching 1" per hour in the heaviest snowbands.
The way this looks now... Oshkosh will not get snow. I take back my 3.5"... and will predict a Trace. :)

.NOW...
AT 115 PM THE LEADING EDGE OF AN AREA OF RAIN AND SNOW WAS LOCATED
FROM NEAR WAUTOMA TO 25 MILES SOUTHWEST OF OSHKOSH... MOVING
NORTHEAST AT 35 MPH.
LOCATIONS THAT WILL BE AFFECTED INCLUDE... OSHKOSH...LAKE POYGAN... WAUPACA... FREMONT AND NEW LONDON.
THE PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED TO MOVE INTO THE SOUTHERN FOX VALLEY
BY AROUND 2PM. A MIXTURE OF RAIN... SNOW AND SLEET CAN BE EXPECTED INITIALLY AS THE PRECIPITATION COMMENCES. SOME THUNDER IS ALSO POSSIBLE WITH BRIEF PERIODS OF LOCALLY HEAVY SNOW OR SLEET.
Well, we've got more then a trace so far. :)
