Tom Posted December 19, 2016 Report Share Posted December 19, 2016 Down to -5F and feeling alive! I gotta tell ya, it ain't to bad without the wind. Love the smell of fire wood in the neighborhood while taking a walk outside and the sound of the crunchy snow on the pavement. Some minor drift action in the open areas by the park, but other than that, a nice layer of fresh powder and star lit skies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted December 20, 2016 Report Share Posted December 20, 2016 Bah Humbug! I'm not to thrilled to have another brown Christmas for the 3rd straight year. Depending on how the impending warm cutter evolves, the snow pack may hold through Christmas day but most likely will take a huge beating. This high ratio fluff will get nuked by the warm surge. Over the past few days, I've been trying to enjoy the scenery around here as much as possible before its gone. The December Thaw is on it's way....

Although most of the day was simply cloudy with a seasonably chilly high temperature of 31°, the evening hours featured a winter rarity as a narrow corridor of thunderstorms developed over the area and dropped a mix of snow, graupel (snow pellets), and freezing rain. Officially, the total snowfall for the day was only 0.6", but the overall-precipitation total of 0.17" was good for the 3rd-wettest Christmas on record! ** Hopefully by late December and into January we can start to experience some share the wealth storms.

Over the past few days, I've been trying to enjoy the scenery around here as much as possible before its gone. The December Thaw is on it's way.... I hear ya. There are very few things I hate more than a snowpack killer in the middle of winter. I love when the side streets, back roads, and parking lots have a constant layer of snow on them and snow piles continuously grow. I get it's going to happen early and late in the season, but it pisses the ever-living $hit out of me when it happens Dec-Feb. One of the reasons I love having a place in the northern woods - they just keep adding to it all season long. Eventually, I'm going to pull the trigger and spend an entire winter in Houghton. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEJeremy Posted December 20, 2016 Report Share Posted December 20, 2016 Jim is sticking to his guns and still not lowering his total of 40" for Omaha this season. He had a new post yesterday I believe talking about the storms possible on Christmas Day and said he's not changing anything yet. Seems a little optimistic to me considering we're at 2.7" this year so far and he said December was going to be a snowy month here and it doesn't look like any more snow the rest of the month.

Tom Posted December 20, 2016 Report Share Posted December 20, 2016 Surprisingly, not much snow melt today as high cirrus clouds rolled in along with a seasonally low sun angle helped mitigate much melt.
