Its Back..............

Watches & Warnings

Special Statement
Issued: 4:56 PM CDT Oct. 25, 2017 – National Weather Service
... First snowfall of the season arrives Thursday night and 
continues through Friday... 

Rain will develop Thursday evening across Minnesota but will 
transition to snow overnight and continue through Friday. There
may be occasional bursts of heavier snowfall rates. The snow may
also mix with rain again for a time Friday afternoon. Precipitation
will end Friday night.

There are a few complicating factors for accumulating snow. These
include near or above freezing temperatures, warm ground temperatures,
and rain mixing with the snow. Each could limit the amount of 
accumulation significantly. 

The forecast calls for 2 to 4 inches west of I-35 but accumulation
will likely be confined mainly to grassy areas. Slick spots may 
form on the roads as temperatures fall several degrees below 
freezing Friday night, or any time the snow falls heavily. Little 
or no accumulation is expected in Wisconsin. 

Both Friday commutes will be impacted, so allow plenty of time to
reach your destination. 



Oh Joy. Well the pther shoe will drop.


Stay Safe and Aware....Rob

We picked up 3" but it was wet snow. Its already melted in most areas. The farmers are maybe half way through harvest around here. Now they should get back out on Sunday (today)
