Wow, I have you beat for once.

Spokane's worst snow stretches. 1899-1903: 4 winters in a row under 32", including Spokane's third least snowy winter on record, 1901-02 with 14.5" 1939-47: By far the most extended bad stretch. 7 out of 8 winters failed to top 31", with three in the teens. 1993-96: 3 winters in a row with less than 30", with one in the teens

LOT getting more concerned about a period of icy conditions for part of the area. Sometimes you can see that even with 2m temps a little above freezing (or in rare cases, well above freezing) if it has been very cold prior to that. The next fast moving system arrives late Tuesday afternoon with some large changes to the forecast. Given how cold the ground and snow pack is, there remains quite a bit of uncertainty for how warm temps will rise on Tuesday and if they may cool as precipitation arrives late in the afternoon/early evening. As a result, still have high temps generally in the mid 30s Tuesday, but then have temps falling back into the lower 30s for a large area northwest of an Ottawa/Joliet/Chicago line. While not a classic freezing rain set-up, even if the bulk of the precipitation falling is in the form of liquid rain, less traveled surfaces, such as sidewalks, parking lots, etc, may still develop some icing and have included freezing rain in the forecast for these areas. Both from a precipitation duration and from a temperature perspective, this freezing rain potential may only last a few hours. For the rest of the area, air temps slightly above freezing, should limit freezing rain and have continued with just liquid rain in the forecast. And since this is a large change to forecast, plan to hold off on an advisory to allow trends to confirm these changes as well as where the cutoff to any possible advisory may be needed. Also of concern is any further shift south to the track of this system, which may possibly push the freezing rain potential a bit further south, but may also bring more snow to far northern IL. From this distance, confidence is too low to say where the southern edge of the swath or snow will fall as just a small change to the track of the system could have large changes to the precipitation forecast. As this system approaches Tuesday evening, southwest winds will steadily increase and then turn more westerly early Wednesday morning. Wind gusts during this time period may reach 40 mph, possibly higher, which then could lead for the need for a possible wind advisory. By Wednesday morning, the true cold front will moving across the area and this looks like a good setup for possible snow squalls, which the HRRR and Namnest are showing well, with locally higher wind gusts and significantly reduced visibilities. The overall trend in the models is colder and faster and while there is still a chance of rain Wednesday morning across the southeast cwa, its possible that precipitation ends late Tuesday night, early Wednesday morning and then there are snow squalls in the morning with lingering flurries snow showers in the afternoon. With these trends in mind, have lowered temps a few degrees both Tuesday night and on Wednesday. Northwest winds will remain gusty Wednesday afternoon, but should be slowly diminishing.

Would point out that some of that is from the system tonight into tomorrow.

You can tell things have slowed down with my business as we near the holidays....plenty of time for some updated analysis! Below are the Top 10 snowstorms since January 1, 2020 here in East Nantmeal Township. We have had 5 storms greater than 6 inches but only 2 storms that have exceeded 10" or more.
