Looks like a quick 0.5-1" of snow this aftrn with a front moving through. Hopefully that weekend clipper will give me a couple more. Any Lake bands would be welcome as winds turn E to NE. Very brown still after the warmer end to Dec, along with the rain we had here in town.

Is it at all normal for you to have bare ground going into mid-January?

Low chance that it happens in any given year. I usually have a least a few inches otg by now. Inland still has some crusty snow.

I know it's not panning out for the rest of the sub, but Cincinnati is part of the way to a top-10 or top-5 January, with 11.1" so far, the 22nd snowiest since 1893, and way better than the 4.3" last January. The system potentially coming next weekend could put us in that top-10 category.

Tonight’s Clipper is trending towards a dusting for my backyard. Near miss to the north. Northern Minnesota is the place to be. 
 

GFS looking quite dry for most of the subforum. 

About time we get something substantial. But we'll see how it ends. This will be better than that last clipper they overcast (got egg on the face). Last one was "High & Dry" (old Def Leppard). Pressure too high, and air too dry. This one is much better for lower pressure for better lift, and not as much dry air to contend with. Should be a good overnight hit.

Pm update showing a slight increase in projected totals. With no dry air inhibiting the snow this time, could end on the higher side. Here's to hoping so. :)  WSW issued for the areas to my N. WWA for the rest of us.

3.5" imby so far this morning. 4-7" being reported at other locales. Still snowing, so should see some bigger totals later today. Nice to see white otg. :) 

Ended with 4". Big fail up N. Dry air put the brakes on bigger totals. Lake never really got involved either. Surface to 850 winds just too weak. Anything that may have developed probably stayed out there, and drifted up into CAN with the upper flow from the SW. 

 

EDIT: NWS DLH just emailed me back. They don't think dry air was too much, but the wind velocities were too weak to push anything onshore, or any orographic lifting. He did suggest snowboards on buoys. LOL

0.2" of snow at ORD on Friday night, with snow showers and snow squalls that moved through the area.

Another 0.3" at ORD last night/this morning, with the clipper that moved through.

Seasonal snowfall total is up to 8.2".

That is not right. KIND has had more snow than ORD. Take the rest of the snows, please.

 

After the snows, now we get to look at dirty snow for awhile. Not a good look...
