Here is the Lake Charles, LA radar, showing mPing reports, LSRs, and surface obs. Yes, I know I have the precip type enabled. Humor me. Looks like winds are picking up along the coastline, but nowhere near blizzard criteria yet. #Gulfsnow

This band of snow has been on the ground for two weeks. While the snow cover is getting a little thin, it will hang around for a few more days with the frigid weather. More notable is the lack of snow cover across the remainder of the Midwest and central Plains. A weird winter so far.

Some big changes in the Accumulated Winter Season Severity Index (AWSSI), especially in the southeastern quarter of the country. Not much of a winter yet in the central and northern Plains and upper Midwest. #AWSSI
