[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 675975, member: 1963"] SWOT. Oddly, where you live is still in the Central WI weather pattern. Rhinelander, though only 90 miles North of you, is in a different weather pattern and gets much of the same weather as the UP and Canada. They don't get much ice because it's usually too cold for it. To get freezing rain you need an atmospheric layer warm enough for either snow to melt, or for precipitation not to freeze at all, combined with surfaces cold enough for liquid water to freeze on contact. We rarely got air warm enough for liquid water up North in the Winter, so no ice storms or sleet. What we did get, and what I despised, was ice fogs. Fog made up of ice crystals instead of water droplets. The ice crystals froze to whatever they touched and made for truly treacherous walking and driving. I know you get those where you live as several years ago, I wound up in a ditch in Mosinee in an ice fog. [/QUOTE]
