December Chill Brings Increasing Chance for Snow

December 1st was not only the beginning of Meteorological Winter, but also the beginning of what is usually our snowiest month of the winter season.  On average, the month of December typically brings a little over 11 inches of snowfall.  Of course we know that much more can fall during the month, or a lot less.


As temperatures turn considerably colder this week the chance for snow over the next several weeks will also be increasing.  With cold air locked in place, any moisture that interacts with the cold will most likely bring snow, rather than rain.


While there are no major snowfalls on the horizon, a few flurries could fly Tuesday afternoon and then again Friday.  Friday may hold a better chance for snowfall as an area of low pressure moves through the Great Lakes.  High temperatures this week will be struggling to make it above freezing (32 degrees)!
