Snow core has diminished to 0" with snow piles and a few drifted/sheltered areas having any snow cover. Approx 90% of area is bare ground. Ice and water in low areas where water tends to pool and runoff ponds are less than half their capacity as compared to maximum level I have seen after a heavy rain. The amount draining from these areas is minimal. A look at local streams and the Red Cedar River in a 3 mile area show high levels with some capacity left. I did not see any over their banks, flooding or fields with more than average pooling in low areas.
2/20/2017 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M 0.0 0.00 There is no snow core at present. Snow piles and a few sheltered areas are the only snow cover. Approx 95% of area is bare ground. Ice and water in low areas where water tends to pool and runoff ponds are only 25% of their capacity as compared to their maximum capacities (based on past observations after a heavy rain). The amount draining from these areas is minimal. Locallocal streams and the Red Cedar River in the area show high levels, but lower than yesterday. I did not see any over their banks, flooding or fields with more than average pooling in low areas. Yesterdays high was 57 with a light wind averaging 6 mph. This with clear to partly cloudy skies added to the additional melting of left over snow cover.

2/24/2017 7:00 AM 0.05 0.9 0.05 M M Missed the big snow. Total at 7 AM was a little less than an inch. Some minor drifting with north winds averaging 5 to 6 mph (15 to 20 at airport) after it started snowing. I confirm/verify my recorded wind speed/direction to that of the airport which is usually very close but a bit higher due to its more open location. The only exception (other than during thunder storms) is when the wind, like yesterday is directly from the north. The wind speed difference was over 10 mph higher. On an average day, I could tell when we had a direct north wind, accurately 90% of the time, by only using my wind speed and the airports. It is my north wind anomaly.

5/17/2017 7:00 AM 2.10 M M M M I observed cloud striations on the NE edge of thunderstorms that produced the tornadoes near Chetek. They were likely due to a strong rotating updraft of the storm. A tornado warning was issued shortly after my observation. Since a large thunderstorm and rain moved through my area about the same time, I lost my visual on the storm and could not see any other features of the storms development as it moved through.
