ACROSS THE NORTHWOODS - If you shoveled every bit of snow this winter, then you've scraped your sidewalk clean for more than 30 days. Of those 30 days, 23 of them were in November alone. November 2014 in the Northwoods was the snowiest and coldest on record. The reason for it started more than a half a world away.
"The result of a large storm system, remnants of an actual typhoon, that moved into the Aleutian Islands of Alaska, and that really changed the jet stream into that wild configuration which allowed for that arctic air to spill into Wisconsin," said Meteorologist Jeff Last of the National Weather Service Green Bay office.
November's cold was relentless with 10 days falling short of typical January highs. But the cold's been breaking in recent weeks.
