Run after run keeping my area in its sights. Can't wait for the sampling to begin to see how much this changes. Exciting!

[Minny_Weather]

GFS looks like it's back to square one. Low over Falls City.

[james1976]

Hard cutters this season

[Minny_Weather]

*GFS moves Northwest*

 

Craig: "Still expecting a further South trend"

 

Money quoting Craig: "Lol"

 

Money: Gfs southeast @ 66.

 

Snowlover76: " **** this Winter and **** Lincoln. Wash rinse repeat. Sunshine pumpers who thought this would be a hit for us can go back in their holes."

Now that GFS is Northwest, can this happen so I look smart?

Good luck.  where are u in the cities?  Have to like that you seem to have room for movement either way.

[St Paul Storm]

Wowzers. A tick NW on the GFS?

I am about 40-45 minutes north of Minneapolis. Up in West central Anoka county.

Yes noise level at this range, but definetly a tick

[gosaints]

ICON still takes the low across the IOWA border.  Use the model at your own risk

[gosaints]

GGEM MSP poundtown as well

[bud2380]

looking like a carbon copy storm next weekend too.  Models have been pretty consistent in bringing another low through about the exact same spot.  

[St Paul Storm]

GGEM MSP poundtown as well

Looks like 10-12” @ 10:1. I’d feel better if it showed this tomorrow at this time.

[St Paul Storm]

NAVY came NW as well FWIW.

[NEJeremy]

FWIW hi res NAM has low in SE Kansas at hour 60 (0Z Monday). A tick southeast of the regular NAM. Lot's of spread still. Wish the GFS didn't go back northwest!

[jaster220]

It's 3 days out and things look good for us. What could go wrong?

 

Love your cat face btw!    Just got a kitten that looks a bit like it, lol @ your humor too..much more entertaining than watching another rainer approach during peak of the winter season 

[hlcater]

I'm slowly forgetting what a good winter storm looks and feels like. At the same time, the word is becoming synonymous with 35 and drizzle.

[St Paul Storm]

12z GEFS. The track is tightening up.

[CentralNebWeather]

Euro starting to come in now.  Let's see if there are any big changes.

[Hawkeye]

12z UK

 

 

[St Paul Storm]

Euro and GFS are identical thru 48

[NH4NU]

The UKIE is my spirit animal!

[St Paul Storm]

Euro a little bit SE of the 12z GFS at 72

[Clinton]

EURO is further east at hr.76 looks like the NAM.

[Snowlover76]

If you live in SE NE I'd give up on this right now. No point in wasting time.

Why do you post here?

[Snowlover76]

Why do you post here?

Because I like weather but when you get burned time after time after time after time you get a little salty.

[Minny_Weather]

Why do you post here?

You go on one side of the room

You go on the other.

[Minny_Weather]

One county away from 10" amounts 3 days out with a clear SE trend?

 

I'll take it.

[NEJeremy]

4" on the east side of Omaha to 8" on the west side of town according to the Euro. Definitely better than nothing!

[hlcater]

So what did the euro do? Although I'm bitter about missing out, MPX deserves it as they've dealt with the same crap we have. LNK, Jeremy and NebraskaWX deserve it too.

[gosaints]

  Clearly we have the EURO/Ukie versus the NAM/GFS in terms of snowfall placement.

MSP in fringed on the EURO looks like the UKIE

[NEJeremy]

Here's a close up of Nebraska and Iowa. This is total snow on the ground so if there is some snow on the ground already, this is taking that into account. Although most of it should be gone before this snow falls, especially in Nebraska.

MN and Wisconsin? I've decided I'm rooting for Minneapolis to score one.

[St Paul Storm]

The Euro is no bueno for here. Classic Americans vs Foreigns shaping up within 60 hours.

Extrapolating this a bit, it would appear MSP does pretty poorly. Even more so on my side of the cities. Let the games begin!

 

Edit: Go American models!

[Minny_Weather]

Rochester looks good! 

[NEJeremy]

Here's Minnesota and Wisconsin. Again, this is total depth of snow so that is throwing the maps off, but I also included the map for just new QPF.

[Stormgeek]

Rochester looks good! 

Surprise, surprise. I think I need to relocate there if the foreign models are right.
