Oh my, that’s a lot of snow. We had unusually cold temps last winter but not a lot of snow. I hope we don’t get much this year. Not a fan of cold or snow. I’m already ready for spring.

We live in S. WI & we are supposed to get 9 snowfalls. Our first trackable snowfall was November 7th & the moon was 2 days old. We have had 2 snowfalls & are expecting snow tonight or tomorrow.

I am in SE WI and am in the 6-10 inch range. Heavy wet snow too. Tomorrow is a big traveling day as many hunters will be heading home and college students driving back. Wishing safe travels for all.

I think that we are in the 3-5" range . Just hope that it's not wet and heavy.

Eastern Nebraska is expecting 3-5" tonight and tomorrow. This will be our third snow, although the first that the ground has been frozen and it will really accumulate and be a mess for traffic. Lots of warnings for travellers along I-80.

Update says that we could get 4-8" starting around noon and ending early tomorrow morning.

@shortbreadlover

I like to see when the first and last snowfalls occur. Sort of a seasonal game.

@qualitygalInteresting you would mention dates of first and last snowfalls. Last year on today's date, I was sitting on lawn furniture on another newly poured patio!

In December 2017, the landscapers removed all of my 20-30 year old shrubs (except one yew, a pyrocantha, the peonies, and a newer grouping of burning bushes). They built raised flower beds, a dry creek bed, and buried all the downspouts (which now drain into the commons area behind my home). The sod was relaid and I continued to water the lawn until mid-December! It was a lovely, warm year and my lawn returned beautifully in the spring. All new plants and shrubs were ordered and planted by the landscapers in May. It became my Happy Place all over again!

In contrast, last night we received our first major snowstorm. The winds plastered snow (perhaps some sleet?) against the windows! The snow crew looked frozen to the bone this afternoon when doing my drive and walks. So grateful for them. Have a feeling this is going to be a long, cold, wicked winter.
