5-10 day forecast in northern Wisconsin

[Wiscon1]

John's 5-10 day forecast looks great for Northern Wisconsin but nothing said about it on the other 10 day forecast. To early to tell I guess. Hoping for snow so the kids can play.

There is enough snow now in Phelps for kids to play in at least 2"on a thick ice base. The key is what happens Wednesday?.....Local forecast calling for half inch of rain & temps in mid 30s then followed by wrap around light snow. Probably be more of the same condition thicker ice base with 2 inches on top great for flexiable flyer fun. Next week who knows???? Big snow just has not happened but maybe... temps look to be cold enough for snow.

A reminder, the 5-10 forecast is for not just one day, or even one storm. Snowfall depicted in it are for a 6 day period combined. That is the case in this forecast. Not one big storm, but rather a combination of several smaller snow events.

thanks John, I was never never quite sure how to read the 5-10 day. Just to be sure then, to get the 10 day forecast snow totals you would simply add the 4 day totals to the 5-10 total?
thanks again, your sight continues to be most valuable, especially in the low snow times.

The 5-10 day map shows how much snow will fall in the 6 day period that is 5-10 days from now. In this case, today's 5-10 day map is for the total snowfall expected to fall between Dec 27 and Jan 1.

I have changed the wording on the map to help clarify things.

That should be enough to keep the kids happy. Thanks for your responses. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
