dubuque473 Posted December 28, 2020 Report Share Posted December 28, 2020 DVN: While our attention is placed on the Tue-Wed storm, there is yet another potential winter event forecast for Thursday PM through Friday AM. The ECMWF remains bullish on forecasting a large deformation zone event. We will begin highlighting that possible storm in the coming day, but with the notable day 2-3 storm, we will not be able to message that one directly yet. 1 Quote Dubuque 2007-2008 Winter 78.1" Total snowfall February Snowfall 32.5" City salt usage : 12,211 tons Days of measurable snow : 40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MIKEKC Posted December 28, 2020 Report Share Posted December 28, 2020 OMG....IS KC going to see some moisture this week? Very dry here and currently in a moderate drought. I'll take anything, preferably ice/snow please. .5 inches of snow is all I have seen in KC north and that happened in OCT. I believe if we are fair to one another, we should root for KC to get some accumulations this week...LOL Thanks for all the folks that send out the maps hourly, I LOVE IT! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mlgamer Posted December 28, 2020 Report Share Posted December 28, 2020 This mornings runs overall left me in pretty good shape for MAYBE a decent snow, but I hope all that ice doesn't materialize for someone.

bud2380 Posted December 28, 2020 Report Share Posted December 28, 2020 Wasn't it the Canadian that first picked up on the possibility of this second wave moving straight north or even retrograding?
