I scraped ice pellets off the car Tuesday night. I'm glad I did. This morning I only needed to brush 1.5" of light snow off the car. A lot of schools in the Kansas City area closed, yes, just for two inches of snow. No one wants to be sued.
That would be a number of days off school if you had ten more 2'' events this winter...
Remember all those "WOW" posts for the airmass for end of this month into February? No more. It's now centered over the country . Eastern U.S getting screwed again? No torch pattern though.
Look at the data for Hartford. Precip moves in and it warms up. Gets very cold still end of month into February.
First image is for cold wave number 1; second is for cold wave number 2. 20°F warmer in Alberta this weekend than New York City. If you're a cold weather lover I'm not sure how you can look at model solutions like these and say the Eastern US is getting screwed.
Had 0.33" of rain last night as the cold front came through. Rainfall past two weeks has been 0.7" so it's been a relatively dry January. The rainfall for the month will be saved because Jan 2-3 had 2.5" of rain. So around 3.2" for the month here at my place.
Comparing back a few months. We've had some good Fall/Winter rains. Here's hoping February holds out with at least 3" of rain. Last Feb we had 9" of rain it was wonderful.
Dec 2018: 5.63"
Nov 2018: 1.73" (we kinda needed a break to dry out)
Oct 2018: 7.55"
Sep 2018: 7.96"
Aug 2018: 0.33" (bone dry, summer was really dry)

Not without blocking. Either they will be cutting west of us or staying south of us or introducing warm air into the mix or simply not merging. Need that trough axis over the SouthEast more.
when you see grass blades... ITS NOT WINTER! lol
Trace of snow not melting past 3 days but whats the point in this? lol
