Snow total thru Christmas Day and where we go from here

Look at how I did with my snowfall forecast with this storm. We did saw some 3-5 ranges but the south bands developed further south than I expect in Kentucky.

Actual                                     Forecast
St. Louis 3"                               3-5"
Louisville 1.5                             3-5"
Indinapolis 2"                            3-5"
Nasville2"                                 2-3
Cincy 1"                                   2-3

Now on to this week. We will have a warmer week. Monday and Tuesday will see temperatures in the 30's. Wednesday near 40. We have to watch out for ice Wednesday night around here and Thursday am further NE then change to rain as temperature warm. Occasional showers throughout the day Thursday. Friday breezy and warm. Highs reaching around 60. Look at the Canadian model below for Saturday. Saturday heavy rain and it has a low pressure across our area changing rain to snow showers Saturday night. This is certainly possible. We will watch this throughout the week but has several inches on the backside Saturday night

Long ranger.... Late next week a rain/snow system to watch for. GFS has rain to snow. This is for next Thursday evening Jan 6, 2011.

As for January. My winter forecast speaks for itself. I'm expecting a colder/stormier than normal month. The years we have saw a white christmas or snowfall during an La'nina winter. Long range models are agreeing as well. There more storms after this to track.
