December 11th-14th Double Banger Clippers

[Jackstraw]

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

Flakeless so far here.  May get a brief burst of light snow to dust up the landscape mid to late evening.  Not too optimistic with Saturday wave for this area.  Hopefully we can get lucky and squeeze out a fluffy inch along the northern portion of the snow swath.

Im honestly nervous about my area. Looks good now but so did my area for today days ago and look how much it shifted south. With more potential phasing hoping this one can be more north.

His version means ground (accumulation) zero.

Back to back clippers to hopefully lay down 6-8” before the quick but intense arctic blast. The torch will not be denied. Looks like we will be starting 2026 with a clean palette.

Pretty much done but got 2-3 inches from the first system. Whitened up the bare sports from the melting and rain on Tuesday. Can't complain.

The first wave trended sw and I ended up with a paltry 0.5".

[cyclone77]

Was able to scrounge up one or two tenths.  

[Radtechwxman]

Got into a nice weenie band tonight. Was dumping. Heaviest ended up to my south where my persistent banding was but I think I should manage to get in the 2-3in range. Hoping Sat will be more spread the wealth.

Wow that clipper today trended real far south and real weak, local mets have been scrambling to drop totals, the ones who had 3-5 for the Cincy metro really caught out, looks like most will be lucky to see 2.

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

00z are ticking southwest.  Looks like another dog turd duster here at best.  Bring on the torch.

Im definitely worried about another south trend. 0z euro and 0z nam's still look solid for you. Gfs was the most south. Hrrr/rap decently north as well but they also were night before this current event.

0.3” call busted high on this current piece, but at least the flakes flew I suppose. 
 

For the second piece just gonna throw copium and see what we get. 

[Chicago WX]

1.0" of pure fluff here overnight. Where did that come from? 

Hopefully we can pull something out of thin air again tomorrow. 1-2" is probably the top end, but with temps in the single digits, well, arctic appeal for sure.

[sbnwx85]

Lake enhancement should bump totals to 3-4” here for clipper #2.

[ILSNOW]

0.0 final call

[Jackstraw]

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.

[Radtechwxman]

I would love 12z hrrr to verify. But nam has me a little nervous on a south shift. Has heavier swath south.
