Minny_Weather Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 This would be a lot easier to take if this was just another one of your “average” 6-8” snowstorms, but instead it’s a powerhouse with a large area of 12+” snowfall and at least 40 mph winds. I wouldn’t care if it all melted the next day if I could experience 15” of snow, 40 mph winds, and 3-5’ drifts. And it’s only missing me by about 75 milesYeah this would be less awful if it wasn't so D**n rare here. Climo does not support widespread 12" amounts anywhere in the state, those are once in every 10 year storms around here. And we're missing it cuz of a D**n shaft. 2 Quote Formerly *ahem*: LNK_Weather, TOL_Weather, FAR_Weather, MSP_Weather, IMoveALot_Weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowstorm83 Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 Yeah I think it's safe to say we've lost this one. February is still a favorable month for snowstorms so I think a good storm is still in the cards, but even then it'll be almost impossible to even reach our seasonal average at this point.

NEJeremy Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 GFS is southeast and the surface low crawls along. Surface low is stationary in northeast Kansas from hour 30-33 and then creeps east from there never making into Nebraska. Hour 39 it looks like it’s maybe moved 100 miles in the last 9 hours and is over KC. With all that it’s still northeast Nebraska that gets nailed again. What a great track for Omaha and Lincoln and still nothing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

February is still a favorable month for snowstorms so I think a good storm is still in the cards, but even then it'll be almost impossible to even reach our seasonal average at this point.I don't see how we even reach 20" with a respectable February, let alone make average. Let's assume we get the best case scenario of 2" from this, that'll put us at ~8". I don't see much potential for appreciable snow for the rest of the month, which takes us to February. February is climo-wise the best month we have for big snowstorms, but we'd need 12" to get 20", which isn't laughably unrealistic, but seeing the AWESOME storm track we have to deal with, I don't see it happening. That leaves us with March and April slushfests. So yeah reaching our average of 26" is impossible. 1 Quote Formerly *ahem*: LNK_Weather, TOL_Weather, FAR_Weather, MSP_Weather, IMoveALot_Weather.

Stormgeek Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 Still 2 full model suites tomorrow for changesThis is very true. I have just been feeling with today's runs that it will skirt just to my south. Obviously with a gradient this sharp it is more of a now cast to see how things set up. Hoping I finally score something, but whatever happens I can't influence. Hehehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gabel23 Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 I'm hoping the Euro for the win, would give me a foot. The GFS give me 6 and the Nam gives me nothing. That means we all have an f n chance at this thing.

gabel23 Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 The Euro was wrong with pretty much all the storms for our area so far this year...last year we were rooting for the GFS. I'm going to watch how this plays out for the next time this storm comes around. If you go by the LRC that would be sometime around the first week of March. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CentralNebWeather Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 Hastings latest update for those that might be interested: Winter Storm Update...The forecast models are indicating another slight shift in stormtrack towards the southeast...which is putting more of ourforecast area under the gun for heavy 6 plus inch snowfallamounts. The 00Z ECMWF and 06Z GFS are both indicating a big swathof 10 to 15 inch snowfall amounts for the area that we upgraded toa blizzard warning. The NAM model and some of the higherresolution models continue to be just a little further northwestthan the GFS and ECMWF regarding the heaviest snowfall area, buthave also been trending southeast. Upgraded to Blizzard Warning and expanded headlines southeast dueto slight shift in storm track. Blizzard Warning...Model guidance is pretty clear that we should see sustained northnorthwest winds around 30 mph with gusts to around 45 mph latetonight into Monday. These strong winds along with improvingconfidence in seeing significant snowfall amounts was enough towarrant the upgrade to blizzard warning. The falling snow and windis expected to persist for numerous hours allowing forsignificant blowing and drifting snow and a prolonged period ofpoor visibility of less than one quarter mile and likely near zeroin rural areas by late tonight into Monday. Drifts of 3 to 5 feetare certainly possible in rural areas within the blizzard warnedarea. Possible winter headline adjustments...If the NAM and other higher resolution models continue the tend toshift the heavier snowband further southeast and eventually morein line with the latest 06Z GFS and 00Z ECMWF, then an expansionof the blizzard warning towards the southeast may become needed.Some counties to keep an eye on for a possible upgrade to ablizzard warning if this more southeasterly track holds include:York, Clay, Webster, Smith, Rooks. Winter storm impacts...People within the blizzard warned area should plan on many roadsespecially in rural areas being impassible by late tonight intoMonday morning. Snow removal on Monday will be difficult given thecontinued strong winds into the afternoon even after the snowdiminishes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything will be closed tomorrow and then we see about the cleanup and school Tuesday. Pictures will be coming.Stock up that fridge! BTW, the snow you get from this storm will likely not melt till prob sometime in March. Unlike the Feb '16 Blizzard (A.K.A GHD-2.0), you won't have to deal with a torch that melts it all away. 00z EPS beginning to trend more towards the LRC and finishing the month off cold in the Plains/Upper MW/MW and then bringing down the arctic hammer just after GHD. The opening week of Feb will kick start what I believe will be a wild looking month if your a fan of all elements of wintry weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted January 21, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 I saw the RPM model paint 14" for MSP and close to 2 feet just S/SW of the metro....there is a sharp gradient just north of the metro and in SE MN. Quite a nail biter if I were near Rochester and north side of MSP. Edit: Mixing in SE MN could be avoided if the colder temps aloft mix down.
