More snow coming
From the National Weather Service:
The National Weather Service in Milwaukee/Sullivan has issued a winter weather advisory for snow and blowing snow, which is in effect from midnight Tuesday night to 12 p.m. Wednesday. A winter weather advisory remains in effect until 6 a.m. early Tuesday morning.
Snow from the first clipper system will taper off early Tuesday morning. Additional snow accumulations less than a half inch are expected. Blowing snow will also subside after 6 am.
Another clipper system tracking across Iowa and central Illinois will bring an additional 3 to 4 inches of snow late tonight and early Wednesday morning.
On the backside of the low, north winds are expected to strengthen to 15 to 25 mph, with gusts to 30 mph. These winds will produce areas of blowing and drifting snow through noon Wednesday.
A winter weather advisory for snow and blowing snow means that visibilities will be limited due to a combination of falling and blowing snow. Use caution when traveling, especially in open areas.

If you back in, it's not only easier to get out, but you don't have to always clean your car off as tediously...

I can barely see to back out of my driveway now with the twin peaks at the bottom. Besides the bone chilling cold and the abundance of snow, I think my concern is more with the potential for spring flooding.

Also when it is extremely cold, the amount of water vapor an airmass can hold is extremely limited, but it also takes less water vapor to create condensation. Unfortunately we're stuck on the backside of a big ol' Hudson Bay vortex that is pumping down cold air that his been milling around up in the arctic for a week or two. It's not atypical to have a strong Hudson Bay vortex sit stationary for a few weeks this time of year and spread extremely cold air across the upper midwest. On a side note, we went from a La Nina pattern to neutral and now we are trending back toward La Nina again, which means more of the same pattern we had last winter into spring - VERY wet.

It can snow with temperatures in the low 40s.
Snow can also fall at really, really cold temperatures. The reason you typically don't see it snow when it is 40 below is because to get those temperatures you are usually under a big 'ol arctic high pressure system (i.e. clear skies, no wind and dry air). It doesn't snow under one of those high pressure systems.

Obviously yes, it has to be around 32 degrees for it not to rain, but I also have heard then when it is bitterly cold it is essentially too cold to snow.

It essentially has to be below freezing to snow, it rains when it isn't freezing.

Yippee....more snow. Love it. But I HATE the cold. Call me silly, but I thought it didn't snow when it was FREEZING out. I don't like this new rule....I would rather it be above freezing and snowing. Hopefully the kids will be home with me tomorrow. I just love that!! Be safe all, and let's not rip on the snow plowers. Let's remember they do a great job, a HARD job, and they do what they are told, and are told to do what they do for a reason.
