First flakes in UP this week?

[matti]

I know John mentioned in his journal that the UP could see some flakes this week. Looks like Accuweather agrees with him as well (brief story on UP snow):

We had snow flakes mixed in with the rain yesterday, it was enough of a siting that I marked it on the calander as the first sign of snow

Been splitting wood all week. Monday it was in the 80's and I was dying. Now I am in eskimo mode out there in the wind and rain. No signs of snow yet. Going to be lighting up the wood furnace for the first time tonight.

First flakes in Rhinelander Wi yesterday set a new record for first snowfall, old record was either the 15th or 17th dating back to 1916
