Things look to start getting interesting again as we head into the new year. January shaping up with blocking and some hints of stj too. Much better looking than what models were showing a week ago. Hope it holds. Otherwise will be watching tomorrow for any snow bands.

These squalls mean business. Combined with the wind and flash freeze roads are bad. Big wreck inbound on the highland park bridge. It was basically a sheet of ice.

Yeah, this caught me off guard. I only caught the end of the heavy burst around 11:15 coming up from the basement. Probably laid down a quick quarter inch that flash froze to everything. Had to go into the city so Im missing the good stuff back home. Ring camera looks like at least an 3/4 to an inch. Driving down 28 my car was completly encased in snow and ice, while all the other vehicles were clean around me. Felt like I was in the delorean a time traveling stint lol.

Yes, at least one I remember actually happened on Christmas Eve. Wave developed along a front, front went through, temps dropped and rain turned to snow as the developing wave stalled the front.

That's probably how we will have to get snow with a -pna over the next couple weeks. Cold front goes through then you time a follow up wave while you have the cold, then it warms back up, rinse and repeat.

This event checked a lot of boxes, long duration, daytime, cold during and after. Measured close to 6.

It keeps pivoting / breaking up over me. Mainly just on and off light snow, but adds to the scene.

Heavy snow. Kicking back with a couple mad elf beers and watching A Christmas Carol.

Same... Keep coming up with reasons to go out. Oh garbage bags almost full Ill get those. Better shovel the walk.. lol

Best rates of the event imby right now. Looks like a heavier band moving in now. Took the dogs out for a walk and pulled the boy around on the sled. Roads are pretty bad.

Nice. I think you are in a great spot for this one. Wind is starting to pick up some now it seems.

It was an unmitigated disaster in the last 10 minutes. I'm sure Rust will be reliving hitting the post with an empty net, but up 2 goals still at that point it shouldn't have been necessary to score anyways.

Closing in on 1.5 inches. Snow is wet, not dry powder like I expected.

Glad we are getting some of this during the daylight hours too.

Anyone in that band and to the South (outside higher elevations) has the best shot at warning criteria. Some flurries starting to fall here. Looks like light snow is on the door step.
