It is amazing to recall that we shoveled almost 30" of snow in December, but we have yet to record any snow in January. The first five days of the month have started without the white stuff, and I don't see much of a change in the drier than normal weather pattern during the next week.
Now I typically don't predict snowfall totals more than 48 hours out, but I wanted to make a graphic like this today to illustrate the lack of snowfall in the near future. Today's storm is spinning too far to the south to throw us any significant snow. Some wrap around flurries could get going tomorrow, but I wouldn't expect to measure more than a quarter of an inch of snow. Friday's clipper system is going to be working with a limited amount of moisture and the core of the system will be scooting through northern Wisconsin. The plowable snow should stay well to the north of us. At most, I would estimate half an inch of snow around here. The weekend appears bone dry, before another round of flurries flies early next week. Adding up these totals is pretty easy. In summary, I wouldn't expect to see much more than an inch of snow over the course of the next week. There would have to be a drastic change in the model data to cook up something like one of those storms we endured in December. -ADAM

I had to look at last januarys blog posts to see how the month shaped up after the tornado and I guess it did get to be a very snowy month although I don't really remember any of it. Of course after the tornado we had the foot of snow on february 6th. I wonder if this lack of snow so far this early month is a precursor of what the rest of the month will be or if it will get snowier and colder.
This forecast sounds just fine to me --I can use the break from snow. I'm sure we'll get more later, and in the meantime it's so nice to drive on dry roads.
I second what Renee said...
