AS THE STORM SYSTEM APPROACHES... SNOWFALL AMOUNTS WILL BE FURTHER
REFINED... BUT TOTAL ACCUMULATIONS WILL LIKELY EXCEED A FOOT OVER
PARTS MINNESOTA AND WISCONSIN... WITH AMOUNTS IN EXCESS OF 20
INCHES POSSIBLE. GIVEN THE TIMING OF THIS SYSTEM...

Bullseye.


unfortunately, we are s'posed to go to Green Bay on Xmas Day. Either get to stay here (no travel recommended!) or gotta leave EARLY for there...and get stranded in the sleet-y conditions. I am sure I know the answer to that, since it is for the In-laws. Not That I don't love my wife, of course, but shouldn't there be a 25mph / 12" limit to that?

Browbry -

Not that I am surprised, but my lovely wife decided that we will be leaving Wednesday (not Friday) for GB.
Meeting up to kite sounds like a workable plan, though. Good to have an excuse, yes? Snow maps don't look good for Green Bay and farther north, but maybe good for further SOUTH...Lake Winnebago is not too far from GB, I think. We'll see. Would love company.

Mr. Zimmerman,

Can you post the link you used to your snow forecast map? I can't find it anywhere. Thanks!

Does anybody have a spare kite and harness I can borrow. I am in town for the week from boston and being stupid I figured that the conditions wouldn't have been that decent to spend the extra money for another bag on the airline. I was way wrong we haven't seen snow like this since I can remember. I would like to get out on Sat. I got a snowboard just need a harness and kite if anybody could help that would be great.
