Final call: Cold rain, freezing drizzle, dab of sleet, inch of snow.

Maybe it's the NAM being the NAM at this range but even SBN gets in on some wintry precip and snow.

I know @Hoosierwas just teasing but certainly not looking for any sympathy. I know I'm lucky to have gotten the snow I've had this winter. The near-record November snow and pre-Christmas blizzard were all lake-effect. Without the lake I'd agree with the ~9" total.

I didn't think it would be possible two months ago, but we are now below average on snowfall for the season. What an odd winter...terrible for many snow-lovers.

52 and full sun. Absolutely gorgeous weather in February. Wind hasn’t kicked in yet. I might plant a palm tree today.

Good call, @Hoosier IWX just issued a rare High Wind Watch.

We'll see...

If it comes with the same severe weather outbreak, I'll allow it.

I was working in Central IL at the time. It was a solid storm with 10" of snow in Jacksonville/Springfield, but I was jealous of the wind and monster totals my family was getting back home in Indiana. I think a Blizzard Warning went into effect for a while for IWX.

That week in November really padded the stats in South Bend. 30.2" in November, 8.9" in December, and 7.5" in January. 46.6" on the season...Last year at this time we had 24.8".

Mood flakes currently. I’ll take it.

If it means another heat wave like March 2012 I’m all for it…minus the subsequent drought that summer.

Just a light glaze of ice here.

Sun just came out which is nice.

Would think IWX would issue one too for the far northwest counties. Get the word out now about the freezing rain threat. I’ve seen what happens when salt isn’t out down on roads before just a tenth of an inch of glaze adds up…it ain’t pretty.

HRRR keeps me all freezing rain now. Maybe a tenth of an inch of ice? I’ll be home before it starts thankfully.

It's snowing off and on but with temps at or just above freezing the roads are just wet.

Finally got a squall to hold together long enough to make it here. Good stuff.

I'm on the edge of either adding an inch or two of snow or losing an inch or two of snow before the arctic air moves in next week. Pretty neat.

When you think there's a trend southward:

Snow depth around 4.5"

Same.

Two days ago it looked like there could be a decent system in the Great Lakes in the middle of next week. Now both GFS and Euro have a big Canadian high traversing the area.

An inch of new snow overnight. Everything is caked with white.

Compaction and melting have us down to about 3.3 inches after getting up to 4. RAP and HRRR have between 2 and 6 inches of lake effect coming depending on where banding sets up.
