I swear the north metro has a weather curse. . Yeah bit of a bust in the metro as the most intense banding ended up ~75 miles south where 20”+ totals are verifying. Still a really high quality storm here at least, we’ll see what the afternoon brings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its still snowing good now and the winds are howling. Many cars stuck on the roads as I walk around. Not sure why people travelling on the roads today ? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beavis1729 Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 NWS Green Bay mentioned that Wausau has 19.2” as of 10am. That’s in roughly 12 hours, wow. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cutlew Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Another nice weenie band with some better flake size kind of camped over the SE metro now as the system pivots. Went out around 10 am and it was getting harder to measure but averaged between 9-10” then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cutlew Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 NWS Green Bay mentioned that Wausau has 19.2” as of 10am. That’s in roughly 12 hours, wow. There’s a report a bit further northeast from there of 5” in 90 min this morning, too. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madwx Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Been hovering right around freezing. Rain with sleet mixed in during the heavier returns. No ice on roads but sidewalks are definitely slippery ETA this is definitely running a bit colder than models showed yesterday 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I go up there a few times each winter for snowmobiling and relaxation. The gateway to the northwoods, a beautiful area especially when you get into the forests north of town. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
