Picked up 0.8", most of which came in about 35 minutes.

Won't last long but <1/4 mile in heavy snow right now. Very quickly whitened up the ground. Wish this could stay around another 6+ hours lol.

yep, zzzzzz

Did see about 5 flakes on the extreme western fringe early this AM. Looked pretty dark to the east. Still top 3 event of Jan so far.

Missing to the east by <5 miles lol

WI/MI look to benefit the most from the late week clippers. Looking like a graze job here southwest of the lakes. Sure would be nice to see one of these clippers run from the Dakotas to IN/KY instead of the endless WI/MI track.

The Iowa 1 inch threat may need a thread soon.

2026 season will be rockin'

Yeah unfortunately it looks like they'll be out over the lake by kickoff. Hopefully a few more showers pop up later in the game.

Flurries are a fluttering.

Picked up a T of snow early this morning. Top 1 event of the month so far.

Sure had a great start to this winter season from Turkey day until about Dec 10th. The big storm Nov 30th definitely made the whole winter. It's just a shame that we have to pay for that with what will be a 6-8+ week stretch of very little snowy weather. Definitely looking like a garbage pattern for the foreseeable future, but hopefully we can bookend this season with more storminess. No matter what this already destroys last winter's futile excuse of a winter.

Hopefully February delivers.

Final total here remains at 0.34". Pretty lame considering the strength of the system, and what occurred northwest and over in Chicagoland.

Almost 60 with mid 50 dews. Could easily be 75 degrees colder right now here in mid January.

Had a few breaks in the cloud cover a short while ago which revealed just how much shear there is in the lower atmosphere. Looked very ominous as the dark low clouds were ripping northwestward beneath fast northeastward moving mid-level cloud cover. Sky looked pretty tornadic. Probably not too far off from having a little tor setup. Picked up 0.34" today.

Nice. It's looked like November here for going on 3 weeks.

Hopefully next weekend's system does something. This weekend's system is a non-event for most areas other than Wisconsin and Michigan.

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.
