We have a Lacrosse weather station that registered a 69.8 mph wind gust around 6:30pm
Driving to Frankfort from Whitestown. Blowing and drifting roads, snow seems to be falling at a good clip. Loos to be more than an inch. Hard to tell. Within a few hours from midnight to 2am. Drifts around and in front of my car to 6 or so inches. Be careful out there…..
There is at least one inch of snow in Rochester. It is a wet, heavy snow.
Rochester now has approx. three inches of snow. SR 25 south is very bad with falling, blowing,and drifting snow. Once I came to the Cass County line and farther south, road conditions improved!!!!
About one inch so far, here. Wind still incredibly strong. Temp is 29.8…
What is next week looking like? Does anyone know?
Looks like it might miss us to south according to gfs models but not sure what euro models are saying
I saw gfs model but it has not been right all year I was wondering if the nam was still calling for it?:)
