I see the 00z euro keeps the warm front farther south on Friday, so northern Iowa through the north Chicago burbs get stuck in the 40s.

12z NAM trending that way, as well as, the 06z GFS. Guess the luck of reaching 70F on Friday is running out!

[GDR]

Enjoy your 40s while I’m grilling in shorts!

Mby was never even teased with the chance    Gotta nab my 1st 60 of the spring, ha! 

[St Paul Storm]

12z GFS with a very slight tick north with the heaviest snow but overall similar to the 06z. 12z GEM brings the sauce. Northern MSP to Duluth shut down.

[CentralNebWeather]

CMC and GFS bring accumulating snow to Central Nebraska late Friday night through Saturday.  We'll see.

Hopefully we don't get stuck in limbo with this one. Not sure I can take a snowfall under 3 inches this time of year! Give me spring or give me winter, you can keep this mixing seasons funny business away from here.

Changes again on the 12z Euro...continue to shift south...thats a major Hudson Bay Block

Looks that way.  Cant get any maps to load though

[Hawkeye]

Wow, the euro now only brings the warm front up to just past Cedar Rapids by midday Friday before sinking back south of CR by evening.  It gets even more interesting beyond that, as the euro now sags the low so far southeast, the second piece of energy that re-energizes the storm now gives eastern Iowa into Wisconsin another snowstorm.

Lol. You knew one of the models had to blink soon. There was way too much consistency this far out. Poor Duluth goes from 20” to nothing in a single run. I don’t buy it.

Looks similar to the other models for as much as has loaded.  I might be in for more accumulations if these verify

I love tracking storms during these blocky patterns as each run provides a different solution. I think odds are increasing in your favor, and even into GoSaints area for a good snowstorm.

Can you post the snow maps when they fully load? Thanks in advance.

Probably going to bounce around pretty hard for another 2 days at least. These blocking patterns are impossible for the models to figure out. It appears it’s going to snow. Just gotta see how big we can go.

[Tom]

Wowzers, that’s a big shift...looks like those spots that just got crushed last week are in the game yet again!

[St Paul Storm]

I added some graphics to my post above.

That temp gradient....wowzers. That’s disgusting. Thanks for posting.

What the EFFING F is going on???  Good god, enough already.

Absolutely disgusting.

[bud2380]

If it's going to snow, i'd prefer it be epic, like this is showing, but I'd just much rather have the 60s and 70s and get this cold out of here.

Any indications of this going away? (Please say yes)

The OmaDome looks mis-shapen, likely just a glitch in the matrix...

Looking more and more like 3”+. We’ll see.

Let’s see the 12z EPS run and if the shift south continues. The southern Energy coming up from the south is another piece to the puzzle that could maximize its potential.

[Money]

d**n that’s a lot of ice it looks like here

Here’s the icon at 120

Looks similar to euro

[gosaints]

LOL- This one would be a fun one to guess totals for specific areas.

 

Duluth- 

Eau Claire-

MSP-

Gosaints backyard on the ridge-

Cedar Repaids-

James-

Madison-

Green Bay-

Money's backyard-

[Hawkeye]

All the pieces would have to come together perfectly to get this scenario, so it probably won't happen.

[james1976]

Omg! Well if it snows i hope its epic. No cold cloudy windy crap.
70s and storms or heavy snow!

I think 70s are out.  Warm fronts struggle to get as far north as modeled this time of the year.

5.5 inches of QPF LOL.

Temps look well below freezing

Those are the temps with the bulk of the precip

[Stormgeek]

Gulf of Mexico is wide open it appears... Quite intriguing.

One thing about the ice accumulation

Being mid April you would tend to not have significant ice considering warm surface temps etc so that’s something to consider but it’s been pretty cold lately so who knows

Would think ground surfaces would stuggle to really accumulate ice.  Snow is a different story of course.  Trees and power lines would have no problem accumulating ice

Maps change with EVERY run, lol   Amwx poster showed NEMI again ground zero with 30+ inches. MQT's morning AFD wants peeps to "cool it" since this comes in several waves just like 1st wk of Feb did for SMI. Thus, it's not one massive hit and the impacts will not be the same as if it were.

How 'bout 40F and RN? (just like mby for the last 6 wks)

Agreed

It will be interesting how this trends in the next 48 hours.

Gut feeling?

[St Paul Storm]

Euro showing a snow depth of 79” west of Marquette on Monday afternoon. Holy balls.

[Tom]

12z EPS did in fact shift south and colder. Hmm, that Euro op run may be on to something.

12z GEFS also came in south although not as much as the EPS.

The trends over the next 24 hours should be telling. Inside 48hrs we will hash out the finer details. Gut feeling is the block will be strong and funnel a lot of cold air off of that Canadian snowpack.

Can't argue that but I will be cheering loudly against it!

We should know a lot more within the next 48 hours. Would leave us within 2-3 days
