Weather Event #6-Upper Midwest snowstorm of Thursday, February 16

So much for our record warm January. Whatever "genius" decided to schedule Groundhog Day on February 2nd ought to be punched in the mouth. Gets everybody thinking about spring, when the nastiest winter weather of the season likes to reserve itself for February. That sure proved the case in 2006, as an intense snowstorm with 1" per hour or greater snowfall rates and 40 mph wind gusts raked Wisconsin last Thursday, followed by a bitterly cold (wind chills to -35 Fahrenheit) Arctic air mass plunging south into much of the central continental United States.
