Huge step NW...probably biggest shift yet...

I'll take that with just about another 50 miles to the NW served with a topping of a Negative tilted trough please. WIth how crappy it has been in my area I would be happy with one monster of a blizzard; way long time to go though until this event unfolds. 

Austin, Tx to Houston receiving ice and some snow. This is tracking all the way through the Deep South to give Charleston and Savannah, Ga. Several inches of snow. New Orleans is dealing with ice.

 

DFW area is warming up to 22* at 10am with wind chills around 11*. Dry and sunny however.

 

The silver lining for us is we will see 70* on Saturday !

Just crazy, and I bet there will be numerous traffic accidents as this storm is hitting an area that just doesn't see a storm like this. I would almost have to bet some areas will see there season snow total from this one storm. 

EURO a little too far north but I'm liking the precip in the plains and esp. in Nebraska. Like I said, even if we can drop 2" rain around here, I'd be satisfied. It's really getting to the point where I'd prefer precip over anything because I don't want our spring/summer to be ruined by the drought again. Really hoping we can generate one snowstorm! GFS/EURO FINALLY hinting at it too. Time to wake up folks in the Plains, this COULD be our first legitimate storm to track that just might blanket the ground for us for the first time since mid-december.

Yet another high wind warning here in Lincoln and most of Nebraska. Can't remember this many high wind warnings ever in a span of 2 weeks,  I think this is our fourth. Our highest wind gust measured out of them was 68 m.p.h., wonder if we'll break it today.

I must say it has been unusually windy around these parts. If we would have had any snow depth around here we would have had numerous ground blizzards. Just crazy what the red river valley has been experiencing this year, snow depth 1-2 feet and I believe this is like there 5th blizzard warning. Good to see the pattern will turn way from the nw flow to a more sw flow. Hoping to see a couple Colorado lows in February, just like you said Midwest we need any type of precip.

Can someone post the long range EURO snowfall forecast for the central plains? The GFS is showing some good storms want to see what the EURO is showing. 

Looks like the GFS is picking up on a more active pattern for Western Mo/NE/Western IA. If we don't get it this go round than I'll start to worry. My fingers are crossed I get any precipitation.

You and me both, it looks to me things start to get real active next week. Can it be we get hit by a clipper followed by a monster colorado low??? If we miss out on this pattern change I would have to say we are cursed!! 

I haven't been following the LRC this year. But I hope that happens!

 

Holy cow I thought you fell off the face of the earth! Long time since I've seen you post good to hear from you Craig. I'm thinking we see something good around here towards the end of the month. Just hope we get hit straight on just not a glancing blow. It's a matter of time until we see a massive storm in the middle of the country.

Dom, off the topic but can we still access old postings? Thanks!
