If this was a widespread big snowstorm it would definitely be a new thread starter. lol
Last line is important with this graphic
Models have trended colder for sure but still a warm storm. Probably interior frozen stuff and mountains of course. We'll have to see how much moisture it has too.
New NAM getting into range. Crashes the 850 level to support snow in southern NY and CT. I'm not buying this yet

Am I reading this right? It's predicting almost three feet of snow for inland CT?

Whoa! I almost fell to the floor. lmao. I had to double check what I posted.
The color bar represents the intensity of the precip type. (dbz). not amount. So the darker blues = heavy snow for that particular hour (which is 1am Monday. but precip shown on maps are usually 3hrs worth so technically its for 11pm-1am)
The first 15 days of January in Indianapolis logged a monthly average temperature of 29.4 Degrees( 1.4 Degrees above average) and the month to date's precipitation is also running above average, although month to date snowfall has been well below average. Quite a temperature gradient for just 200 miles between Chicago and Indianapolis thoughI sincerely hope that Chicago gets clobbered with snow next month, and hopefully Indianapolis will get some snow next month as well; Indianapolis so far has seen only 6 inches of Snow so far this winter(my gut feeling tells me that February might be snowier than January has been) it will be interesting to see what the rest of this winter has in store for Indianapolis(and of course the rest of the Midwest).
Northern IN, Southern MI, NW OH, 2017:
Look for a cloudy, rather calm late Jan and Feb. Temps slightly above normal, precipitation lower than normal. Snow will be almost non-existent except in lake effect belts - however, a "freak" Alberta clipper (they won't forecast it far in advance - skip the pattern thing) could bring a quick 4 - 6" snow to eastern lower MI, at end of Jan or early Feb. Other than that, dry, with a couple episodes of windy in Feb, and possibly a brief light spritz of frzg rain in late Feb. No real extremes in temp, the whole month. March will be slow to warm up. First 60's north of Fort Wayne won't be until March 21st or so, prior to that, it's 44 degrees for highs. Those 60's will be brief. April will average out near normal. A few warmish days, but otherwise 50's. Tornado season will be a complete flop north of I-70. One episode in mid-late April is possible, this confined to south of US 30 (I'm thinking Dayton, Marion, Columbus) but nothing to write home about. A strong NE'ster-like rainy storm system is possible in mid- late May, and maybe again in mid-June (a dying tropical storm over PA). Strong NE winds accompanying those systems could cause lakeshore flooding around Monroe, Grosse Pte Park, and Toledo's shoreline; 2" rains in some areas from Toledo to Cleveland, both times. Summer 2017 will start out cool and dry, but normal temps, and normal precip ensue in July. I can't rule out a late June, early July rogue storm system (tracks MO - to MI) which could bring some good T'storms, some local flooding, and possibly a SSE-ward moving squall line east of its track. This could bring flooding rain, damaging winds, a tornado or two along its western end...I'm thinking NE or N central OH, western PA, WVa). Hot, very dry mid-late August in this area, becomes downright "droughty" by second week of Sept. when rains finally return. If this pattern occurs (I'm not always right these days; we'll just have to see) you can expect a frigid December, 2017 with oodles of snow - very persistent, continuing into mid - late Jan., 2018.

lol, I should have been able to recognize that; it looks like an intensity map
The cold seems well trapped, looks mild south of 58°N or so. It appears the coldest Alaskan temperatures may be a region topographically confined; interior with the Brooks Range to the north, Alaska to the south

Definitely, the coldest winters in AK seem to be in the Yukon River Flats, places like Fort Yukon, Chalkyistik, etc.
Or at least there's where the most extreme cold happens. Fort Yukon has a record low of -78 F also had an entire month that averaged -40/-58.
It's been drizzling and very cloudy, doesn't really feel mild as I expected. Saturday's high temp will climb up to around 60°F.
