Surprise inch of fluffy snow ahead of the arctic front. 7.9" season to date. We are nickel and diming away to start 2025-26.

My area missed the brunt of the Nov 29 storm to the west and was just grazed by the storm that hit the east. But looks and feels like winter. We won't even touch freezing all week. Single digits Thu night. This is not normal early Dec weather. Avg highs in NYC are still upper 40s. Winter is just starting. Everyone wants a big storm but winter has more to offer than that.

I kinda was in the middle by getting grazed by both, hopefully the next one targets us. Still no complaints on Dec 2nd. My measurable snow this season: Nov 9- 2.5" Nov 27- 0.1" Nov 29/30- 3.1" Dec 1/2- 1.2"

We've been missing the heaviest snows but make no mistake, winter has set in early this year! Single digits on the way Thursday night. Took this this evening as the moon made the snow glisten.

Picked up 1.2" of sugar snow here. Was very glittery and pretty. 3" on the ground with a good crunch to it. It was frustrating to be grazed by both storms but can't complain being at 6.9" on just December 2nd.

Its white out but certainly not nearly as deep as you. A clipper pattern will be interesting because the models struggle mightily outside of close range (which can be both a good and a bad thing).

After today's snow next item to watch is arctic front Thursday.

Im hoping for 2" of powder to cover up the 2" frozen crust. Will work wonders. Not sure how good ratios will be, but with temps in the mid 20s at least I know it won't be wet cement again. Anywhere that was plowed is literally like a boulder that could kill now.

So jealous of such a large area of 8+. We just missed it. Then again, just east of us got nothing. I will take that as a good sign though for the stormy forecasts this winter. Its still November yet thats a bigger storm than any this region saw last winter.

The storm was disappointing here due to marine air and bad ratios on the far east side. Although with a low track well west in late November its not a surprise. Northwest suburbs towards Ann Arbor had 4-6". Some areas of west and mid Michigan had 6-8". I had 3.1" but compacted to about 2" of wet cement. I finish November at 5.7". DTW had 3.6", finishing November at 5.9". It was certainly a spread the wealth for the western sub tho. Pic shows last night vs this morning.

DTW has been SN+ for 2 hours now. Visibility low and roads slippery. Beautiful out!

Right . Even though they beat Chicago almost every year. This time, Chicago gets the headstart. All things aside, very winter like storm for november. We are getting snow from a low tracking to our west.

Ain't a snowstorm until Steve complains . Snowing nicely out.

It wasn't even supposed to start yet up there lol.

Well overdue for you! How much?
