When will it snow in the Midwest?

It's been a pretty warm and snowless winter across much of the Midwest, particularly the northern plains and Great Lakes where the snowpack is typically well established by now. This is slowly changing though, and the pattern will be more favorable for cold and snow chances in the coming weeks. This doesn't necessarily mean that it will snow where you live, or that it will end up being a cold/snow winter across large parts of the Midwest, but at least things are changing a bit now.
