I'll take sleet over 1/4"+ of freezing rain.

Doesn't look like this will be changing anytime soon.

With Friday's 1.7" of snow, GRR has passed 1905-1906 ending any talk of futility before winter officially started. While this last week has been a dud it has been a pretty good start to winter so far and looking forward to hopefully much more snow to come this winter.

Snowing sideways and blowing pretty good on my way in to work at 6:30 this morning. Too bad we lost nearly all of our snow yesterday. Drifting, even with just a little snow, was pretty obvious especially around the old snow banks that did not melt off.

GRR has had its 5th coldest start to December. Too bad a meltdown looks like it is coming.

Beautiful state in any season. I grew up about 25 miles north of WV in SE Ohio

At 8:30 it was raining in Holland and transitioned to snow around Zeeland with white roads by the time I got to Hudsonville.

One of them is going to be wrong. Maybe both are, but both definitely can't be correct.

The end of the Euro and GFS couldn't be much more different. The Euro has Western Ohio is in the upper 20's on 12/24 and the GFS is saying low 60's. Definitely la la land for both, but a large difference nonetheless.

The Euro is saying Kent County is good, the GFS not as much. Less than 24 hrs away and still more variability in the models than I would have expected.

Yeah, we are definitely going to be riding that line. A little too close for comfort for sure. Hoping for a little tick south.

All I need is a nudge and things are looking decent here.

I see the AI model referenced frequently. Is this publicly available or behind a paywall?

Lake effect compaction and warmer weather, not a good combination if snow depth is your goal.

Clouds here but my kids at college in Ohio sent this photo.
