Still all over the place but seem to think Vilas will get the most in WI again take your pick 3-12". 6" would get Phelps going pretty well so fingers & toes crossed. Timing sounds like by Thursday afternoon we should know how much & where & if LES is a big factor should start Wed afternoon.

White dust, let's hope for the 12, my father and I just decide to come up this weekend, even though were coming derby weekend I haven't rode yet after my new oil pump and track extension and would like to put miles on it and get the new ratio on oil before the long derby weekend. Thanks for your updates and looking forward to them during the storm!

10PM...Ok this is the latest from NBC Rhinelander Phelps between 6 & 12" could be more from east as storm develops & pushes back west. LES will come in so BJ looks good for the 12" but eastern Vilas will get more from the system snow combined with LES so could be 12" too. Northeastern WI will get the most system snow & the least LES to far from the lake. Looks like the snow bust will be in the western counties like Price saying west of 51 will have the least system snow 3" & in dry air. Best thing to do is look at JDs forecast in the morning & he will nail down the snowfall graphics. Also sounds like colder weather is coming in nothing super cold 0 at night 12-15 day highs. UP should get plenty of snow system & LES guns get turned on too. Trip wise plans for now stay north & east of 51 & UP should be best of the best as deepest base & another foot+ coming. If the storm pans out we should FINIALLY have some decent riding in both WI & UP.:)

Delayed until tonight & now dragging into Friday too. Typical northern WI 3 day snowstorm a little at a time event & end up with 6-12" & never really know exactly how much as snow settles over 3 days. All & all good news for now.:)

Simular apples...For northern WI only 1-3" starting late tonight then dumps on Thursday during the day. 1st call was starting this afternoon but delayed & that is good more time for phasing of southern storm. I'm southwest of Marquette so simular patterns with north wind & LES.
