A-L-E-K Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 ORD is +12.5F for December. Departure will take a hit in the next few days and then there's the potential big torch lurking in the extended. A finish over 10 degrees above average appears to be well within reach. it's a lock with some +20 days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEOH Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Actually, I relocated to the Cleveland snowbelt for the time being. I want to measure snow by the yardstick. Welcome to Cleveland. Where abouts are you in the snowbelt? We have several posters in the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a huge hit at all, Thursday-Saturday look look average. It's also very likely, for the second straight December, we end the month with 0.00" of snow. Last year be broke our record of the least snowiest December at 0.01". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Central Illinois Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 ILX posted records for temps in December so far and this is the warmest December ever for Peoria and 3rd for Decatur. A lot of areas in ILX CWA were in the top 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonger Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 True, accept with LES and no base at all and non frozen ground I give the trails about 5 passes with sleds before they turn to mud. I have rode on 20 inches of fresh LES with an unfrozen ground before... Worked fine. Gotta go off trail though. This is almost the same scenario. That's my cousin on the sled. 2012 Renegade Backcountry. Sold that 2 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted December 16, 2015 Author Share Posted December 16, 2015 Not a huge hit at all, Thursday-Saturday look look average. It's also very likely, for the second straight December, we end the month with 0.00" of snow. Last year be broke our record of the least snowiest December at 0.01". Agreed. I'm figuring it could drop to +10 or so come this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gilbertfly Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Getting some extremely light flurries... Looks like a couple days in the refrigerator then back to the oven...ice box looks locked up with the key thrown away for now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chitown Storm Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 High in the mid 20s today. Some decent forcing is producing some light snow this morning. Highs in the teens tomorrow. So THIS is what winter feels like. Glad to have it, if only for 3 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Managed to get to 28° this morning - SO COLD!!! I'm pretty sure I saw a few flurries earlier also. Actually might have a day below normal today... if clouds hold on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh_4184 Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Even SW Lower going to pick up a little snow. Looks like 6-8 for my area. Western UP and NY going to get a good dumping as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCNYILWX Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Looks like a decent bet there will be some flurries in the air tomorrow afternoon into tomorrow evening for WI and northern IL into northern IN. Strong but moisture starved upper wave diving southeast was producing light snow/flurries in the Canadian prairies and western ND this afternoon. If NAM is right on slightly better (but still shallow) moisture through the DGZ, could see the ground whiten in spots by late tomorrow if/where the snow showers are a bit more persistent and steadier. The way things are looking, that could conceivably be our last snowflakes of the month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisconsinwx Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Geos, are you still contending with allergies? I've had general stuffiness and sneezing the last couple days. I hope it's short-term allergies rather than a cold for the second time in a month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stebo Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 It will be below freezing Soil temperatures are in the mid 40s and the rate of snowfall isn't going to be that heavy unless you are under a snow squall. I don't think there will be that much accumulation unless we get some dominant bands that cross the state and don't fall apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAFF Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Soil temperatures are in the mid 40s and the rate of snowfall isn't going to be that heavy unless you are under a snow squall. I don't think there will be that much accumulation unless we get some dominant bands that cross the state and don't fall apart. I'm not expecting anything other than a possible salt in case of a overnight refreeze on hard surfaces. Even this risk will more than likely be marginal.
