Interesting write-up by OAX, yes they do happen! 

 

This will create widespread near blizzard conditions,
and when combined with a few inches of snow, will create
widespread hazardous travel conditions. In addition, it`s calving
season, and the early spring storm may have a significant impact
on agricultural operations. Thus, we will issue a winter storm
watch for most of our NE counties, for snow 3 to 6 inches, and
winds 35 to 50 mph. Snow should be winding down Saturday
afternoon, and over altogether by Saturday evening as winds
diminish.

Enjoyed a snow day today. I'll remind you that the foot from a week ago was gone. This is all new snow. I think that this was the 2nd 20"+ storm in my 40 year lifetime. This storm had it all. Duration

MPX posting a watch soon for the TC. 8-12” with up to 0.2” of ice, blizzard conditions possible mainly in W MN. Possible power outages and nearly impossible travel. Rather strongly worded

Strangely the watch, for me at least, has 3-7 wording with 8-12 in west central and central MN. I never really liked how they word these things; can be confusing to the casual reader.

This is the exact reason why I didn't support the elimination of blizzard watches. Now we're seeing Winter Storm Watches for 3" of snow but with blizzard conditions. Winter Storm Watches used to have pretty solid criteria, but that's down the drain now. 

 

Like I said earlier, it'll only take an inch or two of snow with this system to cause a mess. Power outages, fatal accidents, etc. I'm stocking up on firewood tomorrow.

You are 100% correct. I never understood this at all. Also Blizzard Watch would really get the general public’s attention.

If I had to chose the consistently too fast GFS and the rest of guidance, I’m probably gonna pick the rest of guidance. The fact that it reverted to what it had and has been wavering a decent bit makes me even less confident in it.

      The anal logs look pretty good for this summer, I wouldn't worry about it. And if it gets warm, just cool down. You'll be fine.

      Middle East Conflict of 2023-2024

      Well, I forgot to update this little development. A big nothingburger thankfully in terms of conflict even if it was very out of the ordinary. But it was a wakeup call to Israel. I am reading that Iran spent some $60 million in it's launch of it's assortment of cannon fodder. I use that term because Iran was sending a message and not its good stuff, as any research would show. The response cost? About $3 billion! The fact that the U.S., Israel, and Jordan all participated in intercepting the low cost drones and missiles and still a few managed to strike Israeli land is one hand a testament to the effectiveness of high tech interception, BUT it is also a sobering reality for the U.S. and Israel that if Iran wanted to play hardball, it would be mass destruction in Israel. That is very unlikely. What is very likely; however, is the fact that it is a confirmation to Iran that there is a massive cost/benefit in its favor regarding its effectiveness of its long game: proxy war and skirmishes. It's draining Israeli money and costing U.S. taxpayer money. Israel needs to get this through their heads: They are on borrowed time in terms of what the global community will tolerate - act accordingly. This article spells it out nicely: https://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2024/04/israel-economy-deterioration-worsens-as-gaza-conflict-and-other-hostilities-grind-on.html And before smooth-brained Andrew excoriates me in another unread-by-me reply, no, I do not support Iran's government. They are religious whack jobs oppressing their own people... just like the religious right whack jobs keeping Netanyahu in power. Two sides of the same coin: Delusional religious whack jobs who should drop dead already. I am pretty sure the liberal/moderate Jews and Muslims would rejoice.
