michsnowfreak Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Blah here. An inch of slushy snow (looks like heavy burst of snow then dry slot), the most underwhelming snow event of the winter so far. The snow has mostly melted in the murky mild air lol. 14.9" on the season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take it for what it's worth. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Looks like a long-duration light snow event from Thu night through Fri night for the western half of the sub, with 1-2" snow possible. A nice refresher for areas that already have snow on the ground. Normally not a big deal but with such long periods of benign weather this season it will stand out as a top 5 event for many of us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malacka11 Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 There's definitely some juicier ensemble runs in there. I know that by itself doesn't mean anything beyond a hope, but this one feels good to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it'll snow, but I see little reason for optimism that this will be any kind of meaningful system for most. To channel beavis... it's January, it should be snowing. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baum Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 hard to believe any model will have a handle on the snow shower/squall accumulations layed out by this set up. Just enjoy that'll look like January and it maybe the change in the pattern we need. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just enjoy that'll look like January and it maybe the change in the pattern we need. Agree, wouldn't expect a full handle until Wednesday on the specifics. At least we've been looking at the 15th as approximate date of arrival of a better pattern and getting a snow threat in the region around that time is a decent sign. As we've been discussing on the med-long range thread, see no reason to diverge from the thinking that pattern will become more favorable for more frequent snow threats on the last 10 days of the month and into February Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
