Overview

Upper level jet energy combined with a little bit of moisture and very cold temperatures to produce a few bands of snow from the early morning hours of January 5th, 2017 until the early afternoon hours. Because of the colder temperatures, snow ratios were between around 15 to 1 and 20 to 1. So despite the low precipitation totals across the area, most locations received between a half inch to inch of snow, with a main area cutting through the center portion of our forecast area that had between 1 to 2 inches. A couple of spotty localized areas received between 2.8 and 3 inches.
