Winter Storm Ukko

Winter Storm Ukko


Winter Storm Ukko is a really windy winter storm. In Wisconsin we got about 3 - 4 inches of snow. Freezing rain and more! This storm was developed over the Pacific Ocean. In my words I would have to say at some points it was a fast moving storm but at some other points it would slow down, due to the jet stream.

Up in the North we got up to 8 inches in some places of snow, and it is still hitting New York and the whole Mid West as I type this. Some places right now are getting 7 inches and it is being a really slow moving storm. The South had a way worse experience, they didn't get anything close to snow except marble to base ball size hail. They also got wind gushes up to 75 MPH!!! Isn't that crazy? They also got quite a bit of tornadoes, at least that is what was recorded, but it could have just been the wind gushes. 



Currently we are tracking another storm system that is coming in from the North and it will be staying into the jet stream. We will be keeping this cold winds and weather up to the North because of the jet stream, which is bad news because Spring is right around the corner and we will be experiencing below average temperatures. I do not believe any one is happy for the next storm, now it is not named yet, but if it intensifies then it will be getting named, I will stay in contact with that as well.

Right now in Wisconsin there are major winds and drifts of snow, so if your driving please be careful.


I will be staying in contact with you guys through out tomorrow and Thursday on this new storm system moving in from the Pacific, but until then, bye!

About me

About me and my Blog

I am a major weather lover and I thought I would share my love with other people. It has always been a mind explosion thinking of how God could create such mysteries as Tornadoes, Hurricanes, and other major weather. I don't think people see how big weather can be and I am going to be posting a lot on this blog about what is going on weather wise and what is on my heart.

I am currently 15 years of age, and I have loved weather for about three years. Especially Tornadoes and Hurricanes. I have watched almost every season of Storm Chasers, and my parents just got cable. I have been watching the weather channel like crazy. I live in Wisconsin, and yes we do get a lot of snow up here, which is sometimes really irritating.


I love to run, play football + basketball. I love to write and type. I used to make tons of forums, but I have quit that because I rather focus on what makes my life truly liveable.

I have two dogs they are both border collies. They are very crazy. Ones name is Maize and she is 5 years old, and my other dog is Dewey and hes 1 year old.


I will be writing more about weather as soon as possible.



Thanks!
