Chambana Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Torching away at 48 in the paign, should top out around 52-53 today. As cyclone alluded to, spring fever is in the air and the dreaded sun angle is starting to come into play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I now have the line in my backyard of snowcover/no snowcover that matches up with which area gets sun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likes to swing hard at times. It's a year apart, tho. Just ended up that way. That's what makes wx fun Winter temps for our region are quite variable. Standard deviation for anoms is quite big for the season ~ 5-6 K (For those who might not understand, -3 to 3 K would be 6 K spread). Summer runs ~2-3 K (-1.5 to 1.5 K spread).

It's getting to where if the sun's out and there's little wind it feels warmer than what the temp is. Sun angle ftw 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beautiful day, the lake is full of ice houses. 50 degrees partial sun, lots of wind. Two juvenile boys at the southside park pond throwing logs onto the ice and then starting to walk out onto the ice. So far have not heard anything on the radio scanner of a kid finding out the Darwin Award is a life changing event. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 We are expecting 47º with 40 mph wind gusts this afternoon. It should nuke the remaining couple inches of snow cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You got it - I already go several times per year, and wish it could be even more often. We have friends with a place in Waupaca, and we snowmobile a few times in Jan/Feb the North Woods. It's a different world - even in a crappy winter when a million indices aren't aligned perfectly, they still have meaningful snow cover that actually stays white throughout the winter, even with an occasional thaw. And you know the lakes will be frozen - it's just a question of whether there's 8" or 20" ice thickness. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 13 for the low but milder 30's will creep back in this week with a weak mixed bag system. Hopefully something a little more meaningful later in the week. Fire pit and picnic table area buried in the backyard. On average, it will be 3 more months before the snow is completely gone. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
