Some of that lake effect snow has made it as far west as here. If you look at the DVN radar you can see some light returns move in from the east-northeast. Right now it's a mix of lake effect and synoptic snow here. Doesn't happen very often but occasionally we can some sloppy seconds this far west from LM.

-11 this morning, 6th day in a row with a below zero temp.

Had a burst of non-accumulating light snow earlier.

It'd be funny if they had DAB and DAB+ categories.

Temps overachieved here. Made it down to -19, colder than Sunday morning.

3" on the nose here with light snow still falling. Both DVN and MLI recorded 0.03" of precip today, and fluffed up to 2.0"/1.7" snowfall. High ratio stuff for sure.

Just under 3" with light snow still falling. A bit north in the Morrison area are likely a good inch or two higher even. Great little event today.

Closing in on 2", still coming down nicely. 14-15" of snow OTG now with 3 layers of ice within, the bottom of which is at least an inch thick. No above freezing temps in sight. Deeeeeeeep winter.

Over an inch now. There was a slight letup with smaller flakes, but it's pouring fatties again.

Wow this stuff is adding up extremely quickly. Already a good half inch of fluff with very large flakes raining down.

Snow globe-ing here quite nicely as the enhanced band has arrived. Sure nice to see after the pixie fest on Sat lol. Looks like 2"+ of arctic fluff to fall.

Newton down to 1/2 mile now beneath the main developing band. Looking good.

Picked up 0.3" early this morning. The southern portion of the DVN cwa made out best similar to the prior wave.

Made it back above zero around 7am this morning after 34 consecutive hours below zero.

Only made it to -2 for a high after the -17 low.

^ Man, that's some pivotal information.

-4 the high so far today. Looks like we won't be getting AOA zero today.

Still a bit frosty out there as we near 11am, still -7. Looks like a little duster later this evening, perhaps a half inch. Another one late tomorrow/tomorrow evening.

and feathers, the semi-rare 30:1. Basically no resistance while walking through several inches of it.

Made it down to -17, with the lowest wind chill of -31. Across the river in Clinton hit -21, DVN bottomed out at -19.

DVN upgraded us to a wind chill warning, and lowered the point to -18. We quickly dipped to -5 about an hour ago, but have rebound back up to -2.

Temp dropping more rapidly now that the clouds have cleared, down to -3. Latest HRRR has -23 here at 13z.

After traversing this lengthy period of very cold temps and things start to warm back up I think the feeling by most (especially the public) is that we really turned the page on deep winter. Could be the first hint at spring fever for many if we suddenly get a few days in the 40s for example, after such a long period of cold. Days are getting longer. I'm definitely enjoying these deep winter conditions; the deep snowpack, arctic temps, frequent snow events, etc. I'll def enjoy whatever else ma nature throws at us going forward, but after this long stretch of deep winter I'll definitely start to think more and more about spring, and severe convective events, outside BBQs and the like.

Have -16 in the point for tonight. HRRR has us hitting -22, and the Euro shows -15. Winds get pretty close to calm by daybreak so wouldn't be surprised to see some spots make a run at -20 with all the deep snow cover in place.

Winding down here, with 0.8" as the total. LSR seems pretty low, as the snow is very sugary as Josh would say. Kind of a disappointment, but still a nice little refresher and always nice to see it snow during the daytime.
