Lake effect blizzard conditions will develop rapidly across lower MI tonight and SW Ontario by morning. Heavy snow squalls with winds gusting to 55-60 mph will quickly make many highways impassable, unprepared drivers are going to be stranded in dangerous situations. I am not sure how much awareness has been created by public forecasts of these rapidly oncoming changes. Given the way the low is deepening and severe cold phasing into the circulation, and still fairly warm temps Lakes Michigan and Huron, potential for emergency situations is high. This will spread to parts of central ON, nwPA and wNY by late morning and upstate NY by afternoon-evening. Goderich to London ON needs a max alert as NW winds funnel mega-squall conditions directly across the London region. My guess is 401 will be closed or at least impassable from Chatham to Woodstock by 0900h.

It’s going to happen. Don’t sweat it.

Going to be to the east-southeast of Adams Center. That area should get smashed with 3-6'. You and @katabaticbe safe

The 18z Euro still has the New Year’s Day clipper that gives many of us 1 to 2 inches of potential snow.

I’m ready for something like this 12z Euro run for 1/9 to verify.

Snowcover was nice for the 2 days it lasted. Will be a dream tomorrow

Seems like the blizzard panned out too. I-35 has been closed for hours in southern MN.

I haven't touched alcohol in 40 years and there are days in here......

Agreed, we were about to go into the depths of winter with a few inches of old glacier and no snow prospects. Today (plus a couple weak clippers this week?) will make everything pretty again. And it will help the ski trails. Noticed the 4 inches is on half an inch of precipitation, even if a little of that was early morning rain not the most efficient snow with it being warm early then windy later .

Thanks! Booked the central Tug from Tuesday - Sunday up at about 1,350 ft. @stormtracker this is the kinda trip you need to book w/the BF and leave Florida to the gators and grannies lol.

This however has been the most worrisome trend since summer. Lots of times it's been even worse with gradients and the southern extent being just south of DC. Seems like we've had to fight to get every mm of preceiptitation this past year in Cumberland county. Carlislewx guy with his 38" can attest to that. Lancaster county I know has areas above 50", probably above 60". I think we have had a real lack of pure coastal storms the past couple years that Cumberland county thrives on. Downsloping has been a brutal component of so many once promising storms. Here is to hoping the new year can shake that up some. Sent from my SM-S731U using Tapatalk

Hope it happens up this way as well. I have no use for ice. State is out absolutely plastering the treatment down

Weeklies continue to show cold in the Great Lakes the entire run. The widespread cold signal for Jan 19-26 is very stark for so far out.

It's official. I'll be eating lunch on the Tug Hill Tuesday morning. Probably won't be back until Saturday once it ends. Katabatic and I are chasing a big lake creature.

Interesting temp story. Got up to 52 earlier today, then dropped back to 42, now back up to 50. And two miles south of here in Swanton is in the mid 30s.

Up to 30. No cold drainage on a south wind. Expecting minimal impacts here.

Lol hey! Seriously though, no one should care about anyone's backyard but their own. I was actually a bit surprised how quickly Chicago lost their snow, as evidenced by the mid-december appearance of beavis. Despite season to date being 17.4" at ORD & 12.9" at DTW....ORD has only had 15 days with 1"+ snowcover vs 20 days at DTW. These type of winters typically give a big storm or two to DTW, so we will see what the season brings.

I honestly haven’t been following all that much recently, but I gotta say that I’m super intrigued (along with everyone else) by the progged look starting a week or so out. If we can swing a little something before then, then it’ll take quite a bit of the edge off tracking come the beginning of next week.

Some light sleet and freezing rain, our driveway is already a sheet of ice. Radar looks super paltry, hopefully not much precip overnight. 27 degrees

Wishing you luck, be safe on the roads!

Ain't great but miles better than any american model

LOL, meanwhile I'm sitting at 39.1/37.0 at 8:30 pm (and KROA and KBCB sitting at 45) after a 46.2 high, that'll likely get beat later tonight. Been a crazy past few days, nights warmer than daylight hours, temps falling all afternoon after a early morning high, temps stuck around 40 all day then 55 overnight..... Winds blowing 30-50 mph from all directions within 24 hours, and more gusty winds forecast for tomorrow and Tuesday with a high wind warning.

the Wizards won again.... huh.
