January 2025 General Discussion

I’m beginning to wonder where this 2-3” of snow forecasted today is. Mood flakes so far this morning working not far from KDTX radar

Puking snow in the teenie weenie band 

Teenie weenie has arrived here. A proper snow for about 20 minutes.

15-vehicle pileup on the US 20 bypass just west of South Bend. Lake effect overperforming early. Temps in the teens and bursts of heavy snow are taking a serious toll on the roads.

Having such a decent snowpack right now from the random small clippers and lake effect showers feels wrong considering how little normal events we've been getting

Nws banking on the bands making it all the way over here is surprising. Usually wwa for lake effect is a waste but I get them wanting to cover their asses.

0.7" of snow at ORD this morning with the clipper that moved through.

The seasonal snowfall total is up to 8.9".

[A-L-E-K]

double digits by feb?

It is understandable. Just got a little more than a dusting. Co worker in NW Monroe county sent me a pic and he got hammered. Glad we are still getting a snowpack slowly built up tho.

GFS with endless CAD through the end of the month it seems.

1.8” at home. Not bad considering I was expecting 0.5”

[WestMichigan]

About 4.5" here.  Certainly looks like winter outside.

[IWXwx]

1.2" with the clipper this morning, then another 0.6" of +SN with the trailing arctic front this afternoon.  Along with 1 1/2" already on the ground, it's gonna be white until at least Friday.

Picked up 0.6" here today. Now at 5.9" in Jan and 11.4" season. DTW got 0.8" with 11.1" on the season. 

Today's snow widely varied from a light dusting to 2" in SE MI. Keeping the snowcover fresh. I won't complain one bit as it looks like winter, feels like winter, and we won't be getting any big storms til this pattern changes so im enjoying the nickels.

If that PV split goes down we could be nickel and diming well into February. Not a total loss as you said.

I actually quite enjoy these periods. I will take a half inch of snow every other day and frigid cold to keep things white and fresh. This is what deep winter feels like

Like I always say, “warm” weather around here in winter isn’t warm so it might as well just feel and look like winter.

Exactly. We actually can easily get better snowstorms when it's a "warm" winter pattern. But doesn't have that deep winter feel.
