From our friends at the Wisconsin State Climate Office, every county in Wisconsin has warmed during the winter between 1950 and 2024.
And in every county, it's a statistically significant trend.

Some wintry precipitation still falling this morning, but we're not seeing big snow totals.
Part of the reason is likely that we just didn't get that cold overnight where precipitation was falling, so we saw a lot of melting and mixed precipitation.
Warm air advection is a snow killer.

We might have a slushy mix of rain and snow across parts of the state tonight, but how do we get the different types of winter precipitation?
It's more than the air temperature at the surface - it matters what's above ground too.
More warm air, less snow - more sleet and rain.

Very mild this morning, but high temperatures tomorrow won’t even come close to approaching what we’re currently seeing.
We promise we won’t make the cliched joke about temperatures dropping from 60 to 45 like they saw a state trooper.

Did you know that Wisconsin produces 60% of the U.S. cranberry harvest?
Did you further know that Wisconet supports the Wisconsin cranberry growers, with 5 weather stations installed at cranberry sites?
Now you know.

It's been chilly for several hundred hours across Wisconsin since October 1.
But what is chilly?
When we count the number of chill hours for fruit producers, that's any hour that averages between 32° and 45° Fahrenheit between October and February.
Your Friday science lesson.

If you’re in southwestern Wisconsin, go out and look at the aurora.

Chilly start to Veterans Day across Wisconsin, but it's actually a bit warmer than this time yesterday.
We've seen some pockets of snowfall this morning across the state and there are some slick spots out there - so take it easy on the drive in to work.
