Might be grasping at straws, but some good trends for the eastern sub if this continues. Could also just end up as a nor'easter and stop trending west.

March 10 was my last inch.

Maybe I'll drive back to Colorado.

Mine was January 25th last year.

The last two weeks have been extremely cloudy.  I remember only a few brief peaks of sun over that period.

With the lack of snow continuing over the next couple weeks (even with an upcoming "Arctic" airmass), this is a January 2020 repeat.

Have yet to record a 1+" daily snowfall of the season as of January 8th. Hate to see that continue well through January, despite a cold outbreak coming next week.

A day of suicide weather ahead today

Overcast New Year's Day, repeat of last year that was a harbinger of what was to come for last January. To add insult to injury, 4th New Year's Day in a row without any sun. 

Narrowly escaped the top 10 least snowiest Decembers with only 0.9" for the month but ends up as the 4th warmest December ever. Good riddance.

Can't be as worse as December 2023, right?

I'm at 37.4F for December. November was 37.0F.

So, my December was warmer than November.

The lowest temp of this season so far is 17F, which occurred last month. The lowest temp of this month is only 24F set on the 14th and 15th.

From today's AFD from NWS IND:

.Beyond day 7...
Some hints in ensemble guidance of a trend towards a more active
pattern. Longer range guidance has been hinting at a sudden
stratospheric warming event occurring in the Arctic come early to
mid January. This correlates nicely with the Arctic Oscillation
going negative as shown by many ensembles. Will be watching this
closely as this could lead to a period of winter-like weather and
colder temperatures come mid January into February.

Brutal 12Z GFS.  Keeps the endless party of 40s going well into January.  No sign of any cold.  I'd trust Ryan Wichman at this point over the hypers.

Wonder if the cutoff low just screwed up the opportunity for the "pattern change" that was supposed to occur next week.

Only have 0.8" of snow so far for '23-24, all during this December. Wonder if '23-24 will be one of those seasons where it ends up with single-digit snowfall totals by spring.
