MLK Holiday Clipper

I did not believe this clipper would hold together but trends are actually looking better with each run. Wild card is lake enhanced but pivot point is favorablle for the area. Long duration event will actually feel like winter for the 1st time.

I have never seen a forecast for 3-4 inches of snow without a WWA--What gives over there?

This must be where the offices use their own judgement when issuing advisories. MPX calling this a healthy clipper and 2-5” in the forecast, but they say this is ‘not headline worthy.’ Advisory or not, we’re all getting a good snow today.

Update from MKX... Lake effect threat seems to be growing. I'm not sure if I'm going to get the brunt, but its going to be close.

 

Continuing to evaluate the need to raise snowfall accumulations in

the northern and eastern areas near Lake Michigan. This would be

due to the lake enhanced snow band pivoting southward through

these areas Monday into Monday evening, and for lake effect snow

expected later Monday night into Tuesday morning. May need to

raise amounts a few inches in these areas.

Also contemplating the need for a Winter Storm Warning for

Sheboygan south to Milwaukee County, given the possible higher

amounts and impact on the Monday/Tuesday morning commutes. The

lake enhanced band will continue to be the variable that will be

most tricky to pin down, thus the most uncertainty.

I think it is pretty dumb that the NWS isn't issuing a WWA given the snow forecasts along with the wind and cold to follow.  It really doesn't make any sense.  In many cases the snowfall alone actually meets criteria and they still aren't issuing one.  I have a feeling they will issue one after conditions have already deteriorated.

Snow all over S Dakota.

 

Except here; though there were a few stray flakes at noon with a temperature of 40 F.

 

This is the worst place on the planet for snow...and no reasonable person could argue the contrary.

 

 

People talk about an "OmahaDome"...they should try three months here.

Gee, I just took a look out the window a second ago and all of a sudden it is snowing nicely.

 

The reverse psychology must have worked...
