Surprise…Surprise…I think some of the high snow totals in the Point area caught everyone a little off guard, including myself.  We knew an upper level low will bring snow showers to the area today, but no where near the amounts that totals up in specific Locals.  Heavy snow showers tracked over the same areas through out the morning and daytime.  What a difference a couple miles can make.  Here at TV 9, maybe a half inch at best on the grassy areas, while just down the road in Schofield at my apartment, I had 2 inches piled up on my deck.  A little further down the road in Mosinee, up to 3 inches fell, while you head down 51 to Point…over 6 inches of a snow is being reported on grassy surfaces.  Thankfully we have a warm ground this time of year so even with 6 inches of snow, the pavement remained mainly wet.  Snow has already compacted and melted through the evening and won’t stick around much more than a day or two, with milder temperatures and rain in the forecast.

Here are some snow totals received here at TV 9

Stevens Point: 6.8"            Whiting: 5.0"          Almond: 4.5"        Scandinavia: 4.0"
