I wonder if there has been any ground truthing to these reports. Not to be a Debbie Doubter, but I just looked at the Pence WI webcam. It is located around 1 1/2 miles WSW of Gile and it does not look to me like an area that has received 75" of snow in the past 8 days. Plus, when I look at the snow depth reports for the that area from this morning, they are all reporting around 17-19", with no standouts.

The snow on my roofs and banks on the sides of the roads are bigger here than from what I can see in that picture and I have picked up around 42" since last Monday.

I also remember that 2-3 years ago a similar report of some unusually large snowfall amounts came from the same general area. I cannot remember if it was Gile or not, but at the north end of the flowage like Gile is.

I'm not saying they have not gotten dumped on, but the stickler scientist in me would really like to know of these numbers have been verified by ground proofing. Typically the NWS office will not make a visit to proof a weather event unless it is a record breaking event or severe weather damage.

I have a friend that lives in that area and he said they got 48" in the last storm and were predicting 12" this time. I saw pics of his place, I believe they got 48"

Some are calling for 70"+ south of Buffalo NY. LES band started about 7-8 last night. Reports of 4-5" an hour snowfall rates. Ny gov sending help, travel ban in effect for the area in the snow band.

Pretty awesome!

If that's really the Mercer area pics, it ain't anything I'd ride until we get a week or 2 of 10-20 below. Good Lord. I wouldnt burn any trail funds if that's truly Mercer.
It does look like it could be trail 8 where it runs the power line east of Manitowish Waters.

I remember this too. It was Gile. I remember thinking it seemed odd since it was considerably higher than Hurley and Mercer, each just a few miles away in each direction.

We need boots in the snow.

Every Great Lake snow belt is getting hammered USA n Canada. Its hard to keep up with the reports and warnings.

I was skeptical too John....one of my mother's friends lives on the southeast side of the flowage...and she said they got hit harder on the north end...but still over 60 inches at her place (which is about 5 miles south of hurley)...with as hit and miss as lake effect can be...I can see one area getting more than another in a relatively close area...another customer of mine who is 8 miles south of bessemer (right near the wisconsin border, and not as a crow flies...lol)...said he had 50 plus and it was still coming down...this was tuesday morning.
