2/23 - 2/24 Central Plains/Midwest Blizzard

[gosaints]

This storm has gosaints special written all over it. I have no reasoning other than the fact that it has gosaints written all over it.

and if it doesn't it is the weekend anyways. Ill go chase it so long as the chances of death are relatively low...

[Minny_Weather]

When does that guy come in and say we are bad people for rooting for a storm?

Oh yeah. He found my Twitter and DMed me the other day calling everyone in here "goofs." When I defended this forum, he said my parents must be ashamed to have me as their son. What a class act.

 

Oh yeah and he thinks my name is Cole.

[gosaints]

Of course at this time tomorrow I could be calling a trending turd

[gosaints]

Oh and with the size of the weenie band on the nam if it comes to fruition the models could easily blow that inside of 12 hours.

[Tony]

If Geos was here he would be reeling this one in. I don't know if Tom's magnet is strong enough but if we get all the Chi-town magnets together then maybe there's a chance.

[Minny_Weather]

At this rate models are just for shits and giggles. Nobody will be able to have any idea what will happen until the band actually forms.

Jesus I wasn’t expecting that last part.

the cold sector looks for real this point albeit narrow and moving

Finally, a true share the wealth storm!

[gosaints]

I myself am pulling for real model madness. Those noaa forecasters have had it to easy lately.

[Hawkeye]

00z ICON tracks south, has the storm running out ahead of any cold, barely has any snow.

[Minny_Weather]

Well, may as well watch radar trends now!

This storm is getting weirder and Weider.

What does timing look like for this storm?

What does timing look like for this storm?

There will be some WAA precip late Friday / early Saturday, but the main SLP and associated precipitation slides by late Saturday / early Sunday.

[Money]

Gfs coming in colder and south it looks like

[St Paul Storm]

Kinda liking the look of the Friday night/Saturday morning piece more than razor thin blizzard.

[East Dubzz]

Ends up about the same. Maybe a more narrow snow band?

[jcwxguy]

Gfs

[East Dubzz]

It sure is gonna be windy.

Thanks we have a big event Saturday night so we are watching this one close.

Fv3 is further south the regular gfs

[Stormhunter87]

I think this storm is going to come down to the wire. I mean we are already cursed but these late in the year storms can just about anything they want.

[Bellona]

So do we think the rest of the models trend back towards the NW solution of the GFS; or does the GFS cave to the SE solutions? Purely speculation at this point of course.

[St Paul Storm]

SE MN sitting pretty with this.

[OmahaSnowFan]

Jesus I wish this storm wasn’t moving at Mach 4. Not sure how anyone will get any real big amounts at this speed especially where there has to be a changeover

[Minny_Weather]

Fv3 is further south the regular gfs

Well I guess I'd better make a forecast solely based off this model now. Looks good to me.

Well if this things rips like the models are showing, someone’s gonna get smoked. It just won’t be very large area.

It’s going to rip but will it be for longer than 3-4 hours at any place? It might be 2”/hr rates but time will limit totals

[East Dubzz]

While the CMC is a more ideal track for around here, it’s much warmer.

[jcwxguy]

Cmc

[East Dubzz]

It’s the CMC, so have to take it a grain of salt.. but it’s showing a pretty significant icing event around here Saturday morning.

[gimmesnow]

CMC has half my county in snow and the other half I assume rain. Wish this thing would fatten up and spread the wealth a little more.
