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.

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.
