To be fair to the Canuk (no wishcasting here ) in general this winter inside of 7 days it has been the most stubborn (and drier) in the medium range. I know with the November and early Dec snows it performed rather well (especially the Nov systems along with the UKIE) inside 7 days with much less windshield wiping. Now, it has tended to give EVERYONE as much snow as possible, but hey, it's Canadian so it's nice. I'm riding it like I stole it!

My memory's not what it used to be by far but if they do get expanded N and NE has there ever been a time that much of the country was under winter storm watches/warnings at once? Nearly 40 years by my recollection but what do I know lol.

I'm rooting for it lol. All models nudging N again. Ukie and Canuk full on warning criteria all the way to you. All the models backing off to varying degrees the deep H5 look dipping down into the far SW and even cutting off near the S Cali coast. More and more of this COULD allow for more phasing and a farther N surface low track, at least letting it hook more as it moves E. Yeah I'm wishcasting somewhat but todays 12Z runs are the first ones where they all give snow at least up to I70. Like I've said before, bitter cold with bare tundra ground irk me more than winter rain and mud

00Z suite is continuing better phasing and some Northern movement. I dont care if we can get 2-4in here, it better be white before tundra sets in. Keeps my dog from pulling a Joe Dirt when he goes out. If we go below 0 again with powdered sugar blowing around bare spots I'm gonna go bonkers and start rooting for Morch in January. 7 years of this shit It's ridiculous.

Some of these model runs temp wise are nuts by Mon and Tues. They have 99% of the lower 48 below freezing and not just freezing, down into the 20's and lower. Not buying it but nationwide freezing pipes? Oh Lawdy lol. I don't think I've ever seen that. I will take the 12Z Canuk weenie land for 100 lol

Euro keeps nudging N with the system this weekend. Been nothing but penny dust in this pitiful CAD setup tundra BS lol. Euro keeps trending N could get us 2-4 out of this thing which is a big deal of late around here

I'll take the 00Z GFS weenies for a 1000 _Plz lol.

Got a 1/2in from French Ticklers off of the lake down here. Moderate wind damage reports around the area, that was the bigger story along with the temp bottom falling out. 15 gusts over 50 at my station with a 10 min 38+ sustained period. Left Fl to get Tropical Storm force winds up here lol.

See I didn't miss much on my trip. Got back just in time for some flurries Monday lol

Hello from NE FL. ! 70 and a light breeze as I sit on the porch and watch the surf. First of a few trips planned over the next couple of months. I lived here for 13 years so can pretty much leave it lol. Enjoy the torch!

For posterity. Nearly the entire sub covered in snow. at once. That doesn't happen very often, at least not lately.

I've got a little '95 Integra that lived with a friend in the Elkhart IN area for 20 years. It was all he drove and they get plenty of snow up there. He told me it went through snow just as good as a 4 wheel drive Mini Monster trucks you see with ridiculous lift kits. He was right! I've taken that thing out and busted drifts higher than the top of the car a couple of times. Its really fun in that thing lol

-4 with a windchill of minus -15. The old wood stove's getting a workout. Dog stuck his head out the door turned right around. Nope, I'll wait lol. Been awhile for temps like those here.

"It's full of stars" ... lol Nice pics!

Just got back from a 6 county tour (did that put the Gilligan ear worm in your heads? lmao). Drove over 75 miles in the country. Best snow here in over 3 years which is pretty sad. Really started drifting about an hour ago. This stuff is pure powder high SLR snow so when the winds really pick up its gonna be on again. We've gotten a solid 6 maybe 7 as this last band comes through. Visibility is still down to a 1/4 mile or so out where I live. 2 footers starting to form as I pulled in so I'm heading back out with the dog and busting them I should note, I can drive in a 8 mile circle and go through 4 counties lol

Been rocking here. 2in so far and more coming from the looks of the radar. Definitely overperforming on the N side of system. Cant wait for that wind lol.

Started here. Not real efficient yet. Was surprised at WSW but more than likely for the wind and the frigid cold coming in. They don't want people on the roads because they are already crap lol.

Looks like WWA hoisted for you so thats a start! I'd rather be on the N side of the QPF axis. S side is gonna be a brutal cut off.

I think a lot of us that have been living in a snow desert were salivating at anything over an inch whenever we could get it lol. A lot of us gladly traded a white Tday weekend for a white Xmas because of that. And we don't really know if this pattern is going to re-load or we just torch or freeze/suppress into frozen tundra. I know its been over 5 years since I've hit my yearly snow total. This 2nd one will at least give us a blanket for the freeze coming. I hate frozen tundra crap. Snow is the REASON for bitter cold. Without snow, to quote O'Brother Where Art Though, cold just ain't Bonafide Good luck tomorrow!

Speeds gonna kill with #2. Slower the better. Should have really good SLR's approaching 20-1. Once again CAM's N of Globals. It's looking like 20-30 miles either side of 70 (N of 70 in IL) possible 5+. I'm hoping on more than 3 or 4 because with the kind of powder and the forecast cold wind on the tail of this is all it takes to get 2-3ft drifts out here in the country. Hoping to do my first drift busting of the year, in 3 years actually lol. Still looking like a good swath of 4-6 with pockets of 8 right now

Woke up to an inch of fluffy here. I don't know why but secondary roads are trashed around here. Pure ice. They never fully cleared from the Black Friday snow. Lazy county snow plows I guess. I'll make a call for 3 more hear for #2. KIND and IWX calling for 2- 4 right now.

Such are Clippers. They are delaying schools by 2 hours everywhere around here and we may not even get any lol.

New clipper thread started. The Shameless crew are ignoring it lol

May be the last snows for most of the Sub for 2025. All models are showing decent 2 day accumulations of 3 to 6in or more from IA into Central/S IL, Central/S IN through N KY and E/SE OH with wiggle room a plenty. Go

Clipper Games. Pick your dart and toss it. These coming are true classic Alberta Clippers. The slightest top down ripple can swing these things 50 miles. Gonna be mostly nowcasting, watching where Critical Thickness sets up. It's been awhile thats for sure. In the olden days in Jan and Feb we'd get 4 or 5 across 10 days that would lay 4-6 across the entire Sub lol
