weatherbo Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Awesome pics you guys! The snow has returned. Its beautiful out. Several inches the past couple days... enough to freshen things up.

Intersection of my road and the main road snowshoeing around my place Zoomed way in on this huge ass owl I saw in the distance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonger Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 This might be the first December in my life that I have only recorded a trace of snow. Funny thing, temps haven't really been that warm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chambana Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 Boring December weather wise, nothing in the forecast to close out the month. But on the other hand, My son is bouncing off the walls for Christmas, he’s 3, so it’s the first year he’s been truly excited and it’s a nostalgic feeling. And daddy treated himself to a brand new 65” 4K TV just in time for the bears playoff game! Merry Christmas everyone. And here’s to a central Illinois big dog in January or February. Lord knows we are due. God bless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally I'd be lighting up the complaint thread by this point, but the November storm made the whole winter for me. FWIW the new Euro still shows the system around the early part of the new year. Half the board would be on weenie suicide watch without that big one to start. Lack of snow on Christmas always sucks, but hopefully January will be rocking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HighTechEE Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 Yep, been snowing in Richmond IN for over an hour and looks to pass right over us in the Dayton area, maybe a coating can happen since its still below freezing: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Average for my areas is around 15" otg during X-Mas, haven seen anything close to that so far this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 Yes. Only sand on the roads here too, with the exception of us 41 through negaunee and Marquette, I’ve noticed. The “main” road in the pic was gravel until September of this year, when it was paved. My road is dirt and will stay dirt for a long time I’m sure. This time of the year the dirt roads actually stay pretty smooth and white because they rarely get sand, just a plow. Ready for the storm. 1st call system and lake effect 10-12”... even a brief period of drizzle light rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrdIowPitMsp Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 Merry Christmas everyone! Looking like I’ll be in a bad position for the storm later this week, barring a moderate shift south. A few inches on the front end will be followed by rain and a dry slot with crashing temperatures and backend snow showers. Still better then most of the board I suppose, but only a county or two away from the 10”+ totals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCNYILWX Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 Merry Christmas everyone. Hope the Christmas gift is for actual winter in January and accumulating snow for all the winter lovers in the sub. While the expected return of a colder pattern was certainly rushed in guidance from a few weeks ago, trends still look favorable for bouts of below to well below normal temps in January. Snow outside of the lake belts remains a wild card, but would be surprised if it's another near shut out for many areas.

It's mostly dirt from the plow/sand ppl and cars tracking it around. They rarely plow down to the pavement, as you can see in my pic. It's been snow covered since the beginning of November and I'm literally right in town, lol. Ahh, it looked like a dirt road Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chambana Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 49 degrees on Christmas. No snow in the forecast the next 7 days neither. This will significantly hamper the grade of this winter for me personally, to have literally no snow on the ground for thanksgiving, Christmas or New Years, and hardly any in between.

Geoboy645 Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 We got a very surprise half inch of snow this morning from the little wave. It was just enough to make Christmas Morning white as by about 3 it was back to green mostly. I guess I would consider this year a half-white christmas.

harrisale Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 I was lucky and scored mood flakes for most of the morning into the afternoon. Moderately sized puffballs for an hour or so with no wind; very snow globe-esque. I'll take it considering we'll be back to rain in 48 hours. Merry Xmas to all!

michsnowfreak Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Mood flakes this afternoon and evening, just another trace. Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 This map should encompass this entire messy storm... a plastering followed by some light rain/drizzle and then some fresh powder to end. Still thinking 10-12" imby with system and lake... wouldn't be surprised if the le fluffs up and over performs on the tail end, tho. Hopefully Will can stay all snow longer or completely.

OrdIowPitMsp Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 I wish I had a good camera to setup for a time lapse imby tonight. 2-4” snow followed by 0.50” of rain and if I’m lucky 1-2” of snow to end it all. Yuck. Going to establish some good snowpack north of here however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Had a few wind-driven sprinkles earlier. Should get a nice soaker later tonight/tomorrow morning. Good test for the new weather station's rain gauge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrdIowPitMsp Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 2.5” of snow which transistioned to rain at some point overnight. Misting and a slushy hell outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donsutherland1 Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 As of 9:53 am CST, Green Bay had received 0.15" rain. That brings total precipitation for 2018 to 38.40". As a result, 2018 is now Green Bay's wettest year on record. The previous record was 38.36", which was set in 1985. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluoronium Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 HRRR is picking up on some pretty intense wind gusts here over the next few hours. ILX doesn't even have an advisory out for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
