       1 December 2018: NWS Rapid City  "Dry air and late changeover to
       snow in s central SD has led to much lower than expected snow
       amounts there. Have continued to trim back amounts there."
       Lol.  Exactly as I predicted YESTERDAY!  The webcams out of Wall
       & Wasta show little accumulation as of late this afternoon!

       A period of light snow seems possible late this afternoon;
       should be under an inch.
       Another very dry pattern is setting in; we are lucky we have had
       as much snow as we have had (close to normal season-to
       date)...given the persistent unfavorable set-ups that have
       afflicted the area since the good start in the first half of
       October.
       On a good note; the ratios should be excellent from now through
       March...no worse than 20:1 and often close to 30:1.
