Its supposed to start this afternoon and then snow all night and heavy at times. Total for today is 6″ to 10″. Tomorrow is more snow and another 3″ to 5″ so totals may go from 9″ to 15″, if we get that much its been along time since we’ev seen those amounts. Whats your forcasts look like.
After reading all the ice reports the last couple weeks. This may actually play in our favor. The last couple days near 50 degrees has cleared the skim ice from pool 16 backwaters. The snow should go right in the water. Then then next 5 days or so show mid teens at night with highs around freezing with some clouds but no snow. This snow could suck for those with a inch or two of ice. Be safe all.Don’t push it. Was going to early ice last year and didn’t. A guy went through the ice and died about a quarter mile from were I was going.
I’m just happy this snow is hitting open water here.
Were right on the edge of it so they are predicting only a trace for us. I hope they are right.
Calling for 10-16″ here in PdC
Sno blower out ? check
Gas for the Sno Blower ? check
Shovels out of the rafters ? check
Scraper in the truck? check
Sno Blower starts ?

We are a little north of this! So if everybody could lean to the south a little that would be great! 
I hope all of Iowa and southern Mn get dumped on. We need the moisture so badly. Maybe we will get lucky and it will cover Illinois and Indiana also. The corn belt needs precip!
It sure sounds like a bad one coming. 
I agree that we really need the moisture in the soil but this is not going to help our local bid for safe ice conditions 
Our local weather here in Rochester said 1-3 for us, but also said we were right on the edge so things could change. Can’t change the weather so I’ll just do with what comes.
The weather man said 1-3 for us but I noticed he didn’t mention inches or feet. I am guessing after the last prediction he decided to keep an open mind and prediction 
Sounds like were in for another dump next week.
Cripes.

Get to Miles Inn and lay claim to your spot before the storm hits. 
I’m in the neighborhood already, gosh darn it! Now I’m ready for a couple charlie boys! Oh well
The latest prediction I got for my area is 14-20 inches with winds 20-30 mph and gusts over 50. They are also saying emergency services may be suspended for awhile during the storm!!!!

X2….I’ve had whitetails on the brain this fall so my boat needs a wash. And Stabil run thru,and a top-off of fuel. I bet the walleye’ll be biting….I’ll get a couple more chores done and I’ll be headed to the lake with the Lund in tow. I just hope I can get it back home before the roads start getting sloppy.
I invited the wife to go along but she says the laundry needs doing. She does laundry EVERY night,I don’t understand why she wouldn’t skip a night to go on the boat one last time this season.
Waukesha county. SE WI.
I’ll be out in it about 1AM or earlier…..
Have to plow the parking lot for all the Christmas shoppers…And,Yes there will be some @ 8AM 
At least I make some extra cash for just sitting siting in a warm truck and listening to the radio.. 
I’m gonna say it. I wish it were further north. I want to snowmobile at Christmas!!!!!

I just looked at the upper midwest dopplar radar and from Kansas city to Omaha its rain right now. From Omaha to Fargo its light to medium snow and its all coming from the S.W. and going due N.E. Moisture is coming up from as far as kansas with very few breaks in the clouds, solid clouds on the dopplar. The leading edge of this storm is just north of me about 40 miles. It hasen’t started snowing yet but the clouds sure look like it could. Were going to get alot of snow if the temps stay below freezing and the moisture from Kansas makes it this far north. Right now we’er hovering right around 32 degrees, its definately going to snow.
1/2 hr ago it was light snow, now its coming down pretty good. The grounds still fairly warm but in about an hour it should start sticking.
Here in central Wisconsin we are on the edge of 9″-12″ and 12″-16″, not going to help our ice situation at all!!! 
Really snowing hard here now and the grounds almost white and if snows like this all night there will be 6″ by sunrise.
