I also just want to say that I appreciate this forum and all the skilled weather knowledge everyone shares here. As a snow lover, I always check-in during the winter to see what is being shared.
Hi adt83, thanks for sharing your the local update. :clap: I like this forum for all the knowledge, the fun and the localized weather reports.

Currently snowing here, medium sized flakes, so dry they're floating up sometimes and the ground is getting white. Taking the dog for a walk in it soon, just can't resist. :clap:

-0.2 warmed up another 0.1 dp steady at -3 high cloud cover...but snowing! Love it :D

Instead clouds are staying stationary, as the Low pumps up the moisture. If anything, the clouds are building up dropping some heavy flurries. Why is this happening Nito? I thought it was bone dry front coming at us? :lol: :lol:

The south trends are a bit worrisome. Does help hold the cold in longer though with low staying offshore.

The gfs was really threading the needle on the last couple of runs. Definitely not a lock imo.

First system looks to take forever to saturate the airmass but drops some snow but scours out low level cold. 2nd brings warm air aloft, quickly warms up and transitions to rain fairly quickly. hence lower snow totals.

A widespread 15–20 cm and the most important area gets 28 cm. No complaints.
