Overview
|
Accumulating snow was observed across much of the area January 25-26, 2017. The snow developed as an area of low pressure moved south of the area. The highest snowfall totals were found across southern Manitowoc County, with amounts approaching 7 inches. Much of the north only saw an inch or less. Snowfall accumulations across portions of central and east-central WI were a little shy of forecast totals. This was mainly due to above freezing surface temps and a slightly thawed ground that allowed the snow to melt and compact throughout the day. Plus, some of the precipitation fell as rain and drizzle. Green Bay received 0.4” of liquid during the event, which, with a 10:1 snow ratio, would be 4 inches of snow. However, we never saw that amount actually on the ground, as Green Bay ended up with 2.5” of snow. Ground temps were just a little too warm for higher accumulations. See the tabs below for the snowfall and liquid water equivalent (melted snow, drizzle, rain) reports from across northeast Wisconsin.
