Ok so we have had officially the following numbers at the following locations this winter vs. the average snowfall

THE NORTHEAST

Allentown PA 7.4"

New York Central Park 5.1"

Boston Logan Airport 3.8"

Baltimore BWI 1.4"

Philadelphia 1.1"

Wilmington DE 0.7"

Atlantic City 0.4"

Washington National 0.2"

THE MIDWEST

Minneapolis 16.8"

Indianapolis 15.3"

Detroit MI 11.6"

Milwaukee 7.0"

Chicago 1.3"

THE LAKE SNOW BELT

Syracuse NY 39.3"

Binghamton 27.6"

Rochester 27.3"

Buffalo NY 23.0"

Cleveland OH 15.5"

Many locations are below normal for the season and we'll see that for the next 10 days but some signs of change will happen after that. Chicago is in its second year in a row of a snow drought and the Northeast cities are not far behind here in early January.  

So can we find some good ole fashion snowstorms for the rest of this winter ? The answer is yes but we gotta dig for them.

So the GFS is not all that active until after the 15th so expect a milder and at times wet pattern for the East Coast.

MY THINKING AT THIS POINT....

The ridge (High Pressure) in the east has been the snow drought maker so far so we'll see how this plays out for the second half of January. We show you the models and patterns we don't make the snow...I wish we could.

A word of caution...after reading the comments below I convinced that everyone has written off February already 24 days from now. Hey it's your call on the comments but I would never make a forecast for no snow 24-52 days away.  THINK SNOW YA'LL
