sbnwx85 Posted Tuesday at 05:25 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 05:25 PM 15-vehicle pileup on the US 20 bypass just west of South Bend. Lake effect overperforming early.

HillsdaleMIWeather Posted Tuesday at 07:34 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 07:34 PM 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 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago Storm Posted Tuesday at 08:10 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 08:10 PM 0.7" of snow at ORD this morning with the clipper that moved through. The seasonal snowfall total is up to 8.9". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestMichigan Posted Tuesday at 10:21 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 10:21 PM About 4.5" here. Certainly looks like winter outside. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWXwx Posted Tuesday at 10:25 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 10:25 PM 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted Tuesday at 10:33 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 10:33 PM 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. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that PV split goes down we could be nickel and diming well into February. Not a total loss as you said.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimillman Posted Tuesday at 11:45 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 11:45 PM 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 4 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. We actually can easily get better snowstorms when it's a "warm" winter pattern. But doesn't have that deep winter feel. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrdIowPitMsp Posted Wednesday at 02:36 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 02:36 PM -3F overnight low. Temps have shot up to 7 already. Unfortunately it looks like our meager snowpack will be mostly gone come Friday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But doesn't have that deep winter feel. After last year's mild winter, I have been enjoying the cold. There has been several days with snowflakes falling, snow on the ground, frozen lakes and plenty of winter activities. I have done relatively well with snow only being a bit below average but the LES keeps falling. I know many here are bone dry and I feel lucky with what I have received. Looking forward to whatever comes next!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian D Posted Wednesday at 03:51 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 03:51 PM Kick in the shorts come Sun n Mon. Highs in the -10's with -20 to -30 lows. Might even get a little colder at sunrise if winds are dead calm. Shoreline will be -sd's for highs with -10's in the am. Just for perspective, record lows are in the -40's, and low max in the mid/upper -10's for interior NE MN this time of year. Although I-Falls does have a -28 high on the 19th (this Sun), second only to -29 earlier in the month. Sure we won't get that bad. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what deep winter feels like Completely agree with your sentiment in spirit, but unfortunately here in barren Lake County IL there's only a dusting of snow cover in the shaded areas of neighborhoods, and essentially bare ground in all exposed areas. At least MBY (literally) has a thin cover. The southern 3/4 of WI is bare ground - just hard to comprehend. We should not be normalizing this. All of the nickels have been hitting the city and south. Up here, it has only been the occasional penny. My standards aren't as high as many think. Just 2" of snow cover would be nice, with cold temps - nothing more needed.

Its unfortunate for your area snowcover wise. Youd be satisfied in MI. Im actually thinking DTW may get a top 20 coldest Jan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reported to IWX the conditions as it rolled through here, thinking that they would issue a Snow Squall Warning, but only got a response of, "Thanks. That arctic front means business." Then they continued to issue SPS's downstream. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocATL Posted Thursday at 12:30 AM Share Posted Thursday at 12:30 AM the standards have sure fallen.I could think of a few advantages if this happens to be the new normal. You get the scenery, but you can get rid of the snowblower. That would do wonders in terms of freeing up space in my two car garage. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A snowblower is a worthwhile investment if you have a big driveway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
