Blizzard Warnings hoisted for parts of the Dakotas and Minnesota. What could have been...that’s all I’m gonna say...sigh

That's mostly for stuff already on the ground. Shows how crazy the Winter climate is up there.

Yup, I understand that and was just trying to suggest the potential this system would have been IF the timing of the Polar Jet and Southern Stream would have phased. This would have been a phenomenal storm. D**n +AO/NAO!

21z SREF.  So far this evening the models have came in a little snowier for some.

Yep. Last minute game-time "bump" sure would be a nice note to finish up this little snowy stretch on.  ;)

It increased a bit more toward the nw again.  At this point, I'd be happy with a couple inches.

This Lehs feature sliding down the lake late tonight into Thursday morning along the leading edge of the arctic front is going to be interesting.  I may have stay up late to see this happen.  All the meso scale models are showing this heavy band of SN.  Could be some very intense snowfall rates for a period.  Following this "wall of snow" the winds may have enough of an easterly flow producing convergence along the lake and potential potent lake plume.  I think the models are starting to sniff this LES set up.

Not sure what the results will be for the two interacting waves that merge over IA but the Arctic front is racing S much faster than expected as RAP and HRRR can't even get it right in 1 hr for surface temps and this from Grand Forks NWS --- "The cold front continues to race south much faster than expected. It should reach the Fargo-Moorhead area around 3 am, and the Wahpeton-Breckenridge area around 4 am. This will bring wind gusts to 50 mph and whiteout conditions, especially in rural areas."Tab1FileL.png?7e590d13869c9ba4fe14720b3e

The two loudest sounds known to man: a gun that goes bang when it is supposed to go click and a gun that goes click when it is supposed to go bang.

Grand Forks airport has had 3 consecutive hours with winds easily gusting over 50 mph-- 13" of snow on the ground = that would be awesome. Peak Gust 53KTs = 61mph. Gotta love the Northern Plains.

Clinton,

 

Where exactly are you? An hour or so SE of K.C.? Are you actually in Clinton, Mo? If so, I think you are in the best spot to get a very wet accumulation.

 

Temps are 35 here in the city and around 32-33 outside the city limits. Going to be tough to get pavement accums today but if we can get the snow to hang on through the evening, we might stack up a bit this evening.

 

Too bad we aren’t 25 degrees, this would be a 6-9 inch snow easily. Beautiful moisture surge.

Whoa. Oh, Canada!

 

Yeah, that would be eerily similar to Vet's Day with the synoptic wave jack-zone, and LES jack-zone the following night! Too bad it's not the model of choice with any storm, lol. 

 

Meanwhile Euro looks like another headline FAIL around here. As a matter of fact, it looks pretty odd that GRR has headlines and DTX does not. Models either give all of SMI enough to warrant a WWA, or they don't give either side of the state enough at all. I smell bust. 1" of pixie dust incoming on top of my 2" snow pack. Lol @ snow-on-snow 2019-20 style

I lost interest in the "storm" 2 days ago.  I'm also shocked local mets are still calling for 2-4 with 5" possible near 94.  Bad info from GRR weather office.   NO way that happens.  In fact I  think it hardly snows up here, except a brief dusting with the front.
