NW Wisconsin Weather
« on: December 25, 2023, 11:21:18 PM »
Was up there for 5 days. Warm and wet, very foggy for the past 3 days. Rained yesterday and today. Was 53f today. There is no frost in the ground and worms were in the grass. The lake still had ice on it but was a lot of water on top. Saw one bear roaming between Hayward and Spooner. That is a problem. No snowmobiles and no ice fishing. Also read that ice fishing on lake of the woods, Baudette Mn. Has been paused for a week. Goofy times.

It's goofy here too in the "Desert Southwest" up at 7,000 ft elevation (in the world's largest contiguous Ponderosa pine forest).
Last year's winter, Flagstaff saw record snowfall (slightly over 12 ft fell on my Compound 1  :))
And yet the weather forecasters had given no long ranges beforehand that suggested such would be the case.   It simply went into the history books, unpredicted so far as I know.

This year, a notably strong "El Nino" was purportedly going to see above average snow fall here - yet I'm looking out the window at bare ground.    WTF???!???
I saw were predictions were for a warmer/dryer winter for the upper Midwest.

But for this location, all I've seen is dryness and above aerage temps for the time of year.
What this might or might no presage for personal food production in the garden in the coming year, God only knows...

Yes gentlemen, it has been very mild here in the Endless Mountains of NE PA. Temps above normal and lots of rain. It has been so warm I am half a cord of firewood ahead of past years at this time. At this rate, I will only have to cut 5 vs. 6 1/2 cords next year.

The last winter that mirrored this season was 2017. By mid January it all changed. Since Lake Erie and Ontario was not froze over we received 1-2" of lake-effect snow daily. That was on the days that we didn't receive 8-18" of snow just because. That was the year we had a storm system that just stalled over us for 24-hours and dumped over 3-feet of snow on us.

Gentlemen, do not get lulled into what might be just around the weather corner.  :cheers:
