70s in the Plains and -50s up in northwest Canada. Only a 120+ degree difference.

At least there's something to watch. I'll take a rainer over nothing TBH.

Like the title says, just one. If you could pick one wintry event (has to be in your own lifetime) to relive which would it be, and why? There's so many great events over the decade to choose from, but for me it's gotta be December 14-15 1987. To this day I've never seen so much lightning and thunder during a blizzard. It was truly remarkable. Winds gusting 60-70mph, the lightning, and the incredible bombing that system did the evening of the 14th was about as good as it gets. We even had bursts of heavy sleet mix in at times, but it didn't cut down on the snow accumulations too much. This event is probably one of the main reasons I got into the wintry side of weather. This would be incredible to watch unfold with today's technology.

Only 6 more weeks till we gotta start worrying about the sun angle.

Clippers are just to occupy us between the dogs lol

Euro looks like crickets through mid month. We'll probably get 2 weeks of action at the end of Jan, and then another 5-6 weeks of CAD/Michigan clippers through early March.

Looks like the next system of note will be a rainer around Jan 9th-10th.

Had a 45 min period of very light rain/sprinkles. Picked up a T.

Looking like mostly rain here on the far southwest edge of today's wave.

Picked up 0.3" from a wave of light snow earlier. Up to 18.1" for the season now. Last year at this time we only had 1.9" lol.

Getting a few flurries here.

The final third of Jan will be rockin'.

Felt like living in lower Michigan today with mood flakes from sunup to sundown. Don't see that very often around here.

Picked up a few tenths here. That wind last night was wicked.

Power just flickered here as winds are pushing 55mph. Flurries are flying as the wraparound action has arrived. May get a DAB to DAB+ by morning. EDIT: DVN recently gusted to 60mph.

0.95" here. Way more than I figured. Temp down to freezing now as we await the snow part of the system.

MSP radar doesn't look too good to me. Hope it fills in and enhances in short order.

Nearly 50 here with steady rains. Gonna be in the teens in 8-9 hours with 50mph winds.

Looks like 1/4-1/2" of cold thunderless rain here followed by some flurries/snow showers Monday. Would have been nice to get into the warm sector and get some storm action. Sort of getting a lame split here.

It was fairly foggy the past few days but DVN held off on issuing a winter storm warning.

Mother nature be like: though shall pay for each 2-week stretch of interesting weather with 4-5 weeks of nothingness each winter.

We're gonna finish 2025 with about 30.5" of precip. About 5 inches down for the year.

Looks like some action coming for the Michigan peeps. For the rest of us...crickets.

Looks like DVN canceled the winter storm warning. 90+% of the warning area received a trace or not a flake.

DVN just issued the lamest winter storm warning in history. Talk about setting the bar low. Brief snow squalls with most areas seeing a DAB. Might as well just go all in and go with a blizzard warning, or hurricane warning.
