Wisconsin breaks earliest Snowfall record.

Al Gore has a perfectly good explanation for this. Global Warming causes more snow! Don't you get it? Of course not, your not as smart as Al Gore!

Say it's not sooooo!!

Early Freeze Could Severely Damage Minnesota Crops

Not surprised. I'm in Utah and we had some high clouds on the Wasatch Front that were obscure by heavy rain and that autumn chill was in the air. Checked this morning but no snow from where i am at. Think Denver got some to. Going to be a long and record snowing winter. Last year we were around 150% or something like that. Button down the hatches!

but but but how can it be supposed to be warming

Good, more time to be indoors working on that football team of yours...

I put my plants in the garage last night.
It was in the mid 30's and never got higher than 60. I am in the South part of the state.

I think it's already a lost cause. ;-`)

So long as qwert doesn't win I'll be happy.

BTW keep that shit in Wisc.

This was just 3 months ago! Snow fall killed 50% of the blossoms on my fruit trees.

What’s to Be Done With 15 Feet of Snow in June? Utah Knows

“The snowpack we have right now is 525 percent of normal,” said Brian McInerney, the hydrologist for the National Weather Service in Utah. “The lower level snowpack from 7,500 to 6,000 feet is already gone, but the mid-elevation snow from about 7,500 to 9,000 feet is still there.”

He added: “Our soils were already saturated starting in March due to a heavy rainfall in early spring. Now, if you try to ride or hike on these soils, they will still be wet, still be saturated. If you use the trails at all, especially for mountain biking, it’s going to screw them up.”

The most serious consequence of the huge snowpack in the Wasatch Mountains may be lurking well below the summits, especially if the weather changes rapidly to the typically hot northern Utah temperatures of late June and July.

“Once it starts going, the inertia of melting snowpack goes pretty fast,” McInerney said.

The speed of the melt has state officials concerned about flooding. Some rivers have already breached their banks and inundated homes and hundreds of acres of farmland. And though snow-riders are still loving the snow, it remains a threat, a vast rush of water just waiting to pour down on the valleys below.

Winters of 2012, 2013, 2014 Could be Frigid

AccuWeather.com Long Range Expert Joe Bastardi believes there is a significant chance for particularly frigid winters in 2012-2013 and 2013-2014 into 2014-2015.

Bastardi said these winters could be similar to winters of the late 1970s.

He said, "While the most consistent of the cold is to the north, severe bouts of cold deep into Texas and Florida would be capable of affecting agriculture more so than we've seen in that last 20 years or so."

Ok come on WHAT THE FUCK?????!!!!!

Any worse than this year and we can kiss the bread basket of the USA goodbye next spring, along with those reactors.

The link says March 31 2010 and it says there was no snow in the month of March.

Link was for reference on previous record...

You are looking at the date of the article which states the PREVIOUS record.

"Earliest Trace was on September 15th 1959"

It snowed yesterday. No articles on that yet. Yesterday the record was broken. Understand Sherlock?

Sometimes winter comes early. No surprise really.

I've seen it snow in June.

I was up in Danbury, WI this week. Got to 34F this morning.

On another note, I spent last week checking out the Kickapoo River area, inspired by your thread from a while back. Stayed three nights in Wildcat Mountain State Park. Gorgeous area and beautiful weather the whole week. Ontario, WI is kind of a dump, but lots of other beautiful little towns nearby and great produce from the Amish farmers.

Very Cool! Thanks for mentioning it. ;-`)

Wildcat Mountain State Park is kinda small, but really cool eh?
I'm glad you enjoyed it there, I really dig the Driftless Area. It feels so primordial. Yeah Ontario is kinda dumpy, but the general region is really nice IMO.

I love the Driftless Zone. Funny thing is, I used to live almost due west of the Kickapoo River area, over near Caledonia, MN, which is also part of the Driftless Zone, and I never heard of the Kickapoo River till your thread.

Near the end of my week, I camped at Nugget Lake County Park, which is near Plum City. Within Nugget Lake there is a land deformation that has caused the old limestone seabed, which was deposited in nearly perfect horizontal layers, to bend nearly vertical. Geologists speculate that it was possibly caused by a meteor strike. Diamonds have been found there, and a type of gold called "flour" is found there. There was even a sign in the park warning gold panners not to excavate the banks of Rock Elm Creek, lest they lose their panning privileges.

Thar's gold in them thar hills!

P.S. - sorry to go off topic here.

Four years ago went on a "Muskie" fishing trip to the Turtle Flambeau Flowage outside of Mercer.When we got up there they had 6 to 8 inches on the ground.That was in the second week of October.When we checked in we were talking to the lodge owner.He advised us bot to go into the woods without a gun.He said the early snow was making the wolf packs hunt really hard,that he saw tracks on his property.He also said use "solids" over "hp's".He said forget the fedral law if you come up against a hungry pack.Not a muskie raised on that cold miserable trip,But a great time none the less.

We just broke a 50 day streak of above 100 degree high temperatures, with many days in the 100-teens . No rain all summer, everything is dying including huge old trees.

It is now 59 degrees. It went from being unbearably hot to chilly overnight. Don't know what to make of it. I do know that we broke high temperature records for 45 days in a role.

Nice Link

*sigh* I spent last winter in the Northwoods of Wi. I am a West coast native :) My first time being in that much snow. My family of 3 boys, my hubby and I lived in a 2 room cabin.
No hot water or bathroom. We had to shovel a path to the outhouse and I had to boil water to do dishes by hand. Never in my life had I thought I would be doing that in -40 degree weather!
Props to you sweet crazy people who make Great Lake states your home :) LOL I couldn't wait to get back to Washington state. BUT...I did manage to learn some great skills!

Awesome, cool story. Nature is NEVER off-topic!

I love old exposed rocks and cliff faces. Nugget Lake County Park you say? I think I have a new place to check out. Thanks. ;-`)
