Dec 6-7th (It's not a clipper) Clipper

Rather lame. But splitting hairs between a few tenths vs forecasted 1-2”.

While generally -SN to SN, had one or two brief periods of +SN overnight at home.

Maybe I’m saying this because my dogs got me up at 4:45am to go outside, but my backyard is a little ridiculous right now. In some spots, the snow height is almost reaching the top of my calves. And my dogs’ legs aren’t really visible.

Perhaps I’ll feel better with a little more sleep   I’m thankful & grateful for the bountiful start of snow season.

It looked like it was going to over perform, congrats friend. This winter is truly spreading the wealth, it’s so awesome to see everyone get in on action.

What a beautiful, snowy Sunday morning

0.5” at MSP.

Models nailed this one imby

Ended up with ~4in. I’ll definitely take it.

Another great event to add on to what we had. The timing of the event was unfortunate, with it happening so late into the night and wrapping up around sunrise, I barely got to see some good rates. 

[hawkeye_wx]

Despite being a light, fluffy snow, my 5.6" oddly has a slightly lower ratio than last weekend's wetter 11".  I'm not sure how that happened.

[cyclone77]

MLI with 2.2", DVN had 3.2".  Ended up with 3.8" here.  Luckily the freezing rain didn't last too long.

Its a beautiful snowy morning here, definitely a very nickel and dime start to the season. Its been white since Nov 29, so no complaints there. But idk if I'd say its true spread the wealth. For the most part the highest amounts this early season have consistently been focused in the same general area, the same area that did so poorly last season. Its a classic example of mother nature smoothing the mean for that area.

Been a minute since I’ve seen my outdoor furniture like this

Deepest snow in chicago in nearly 5 years. Congrats, im jealous!

[HillsdaleMIWeather]

Looks like we're gonna end up closer to 2 to 4 than 1 to 2 here.

[Cary67]

5.0" down

[tuanis]

Epic. Remember when it wouldn’t snow or every event would underwhelm?

[SchaumburgStormer]

5.8” here. Stacking flakes on the deck 

[sbnwx85]

Ended at 2.7”. A little more than 9” on snow depth. Nice refresher.

After watching the last two systems miss SW I'm hoping to at least catch you IL crew this week.

@michsnowfreak I did better with the Nov storm but you've now gotten 360% of my Dec total. It's all relative, lol. Certainly right there with you regarding life in the shadow of IA/IL/WI hot zone. Other than Dec '74 Detroit is not known as huge front end winter paradise. More so the back half. Your F/M/A avg's are better than I had in Marshall.
