We've gotten some 10-15 inch snowfall reports across northern Wisconsin so far, and it's still snowing.

We're starting the day cold, windy, and snowy as the first significant winter storm of the season continues to move across the state.

Travel will be slower across the state and potentially dangerous across far northern Wisconsin.

Be safe as you travel to your Thanksgivings!

Keeping an eye on the wind gusts tomorrow in addition to the heavy snow.

Forecasts have wind gusts approaching 50 miles per hour in southern Wisconsin.

Anyone want to guess how high the winds will gust in Wisconsin tomorrow?

A BLIZZARD Warning has just been issued for Douglas, Bayfield, Ashland, and Iron Counties.

This puts Wisconet into Critical Weather Day status until the end of the Blizzard Warning.

Our focus for the next couple days is only on ensuring data up time.

Lots happening in the next 24-36 hours across the state.

Figured it was easier to put together a full graphic than try to type it out in a couple hundred characters.

Whoda thunk that bars in airports and alcohol on planes would lead to drunk plane passengers that are a problem?

If you're a small airport and you're going to spend $10,000 on a visibility sensor or $30,000 on a ceilometer, why are you only using a Davis Vantage Pro2 for all of your other readings?

Just go for a basic FAA AWOS at that point and provide actual METAR, not just advisory data.

Oh my god.

Remember: Blizzard conditions mean that a combination of snow and wind gusts of at least 35 miles per hour will bring visibility to less than 1/4 mile.

If this is consistently occurring for 3 or more hours, then you have a blizzard.

Blizzard conditions make travel dangerous.
Big weather changes are in store today.

This AM: Dense fog over southern Wisconsin.

This PM - Thanksgiving: A windy winter storm will bring heavy snow to northern Wisconsin.

Widespread 12”+ totals and blizzard conditions possible. Parts of Ashland and Iron Counties could see 20-30” of snow!

I’m sick of hearing about “moral victories” after games the Red Wings lose. There’s only one type of victory that counts in the NHL - scoring more goals than the other team.

- Goaltending still a weak point.
- We need enforcers (grind line 2?)
- At some point these picks gotta go in the net

Folks, Jamaica has won a bobsled gold medal!

For the first time ever in the nation's sliding history, Jamaica has a gold medal in international competition, with Shane Pitter winning gold in the four-man North American Cup competition in Whistler

The Winter Storm Watch has been extended eastward and now includes all of the northern tier of Wisconsin counties as well as Oneida.

Travel will be tricky across northern Wisconsin on Tuesday and Wednesday as you head to your Thanksgiving destinations.
