Valentines and Presidents Day Oklahoma and Mid West Smasher.

Good trends on the models this morning for KC, Chicago, and points south and east.  @OKwx2k4 you may want to invest in a snow blower lol.  Closer to home those of us that live in Eastern Kansas and Western Missouri know it's never easy to get a good snow.  We have a different enemy this time, it's not warm air but dry air.  Good luck to all.

Glad you did bc I was just coming on the comp to do the same thing!  LOL...hoping for a shift NW and the models latch onto the ULL tracking overhead.  I flipped through the 06z EPS ensembles and a lot of them show a large precip shield swinging through the MW/Lower Lakes region.  Once this energy gets into the 4 corners on Sat/Sun the models should have a good handle on this.

I'm refusing to look at the models, which is hard when perusing this forum.  But my willpower is strong.  As for the GFS, I haven't seen it.  But given how wrong it's been for KC weather over the last two weeks, I wouldn't base any conclusions on it.

The sun is shinning here today, I don't remember the last time we have had sunshine, must be at least 6 days.

I've decided to "embrace the suck" as they say in the military and have fun with it. Besides, plenty of time for further shifts so who knows...😁

Thx for starting Clinton. I also considered Y'day but backed-off to let y'all southerners have a shot at it. Looks like we have GEM/Euro north vs GFS south. NAM in the middle? I will say that the air today has a warmer moist feel here so the squashing PV may relax just enough..

That would be great and the models seem to be supporting that with better totals up your way.  Good luck and the storm on the heels of this one seems to be targeting the mitt also. 🙂

Lol. I appreciate you guys. I was just going to keep sprinkling this awesomeness all over the forum. :lol:

@Clinton

For the 2nd storm next week, 1 model takes it so far east, that we get nothing and the other crushes SMI and other peeps that are in the path of the storm. Take a pick! Still plenty of time for that to get resolved.

It's going back to dry for much of Iowa.  Four runs ago the Euro suddenly showed the upper energy cutting up to Iowa, which dropped a few inches here.  It was doing that because it had the PV lobe quickly getting out of the way.  However, since then the Euro has trended toward the PV hanging back further into the lakes, which leads to the new energy being weaker and also tracking farther southeast.  For any additional significant snow to fall in places like Iowa and Minnesota, the cold will have to back off.

18z NAM really holds back the main energy and strengthens it.  At hr 84 it is closing in on Chicago and Michigan moving NE

The first piece of energy does well on it's own.  It will be interesting to see if this continues and if it can work west some over the next 24hrs.  If the NAM is correct this could be a major hit for Niko and the other SE Mich folks.

A snap shot of my area! ❄️🤔 Very sharp cut-off line to my west. Yikes!https://www.americanwx.com/bb/applications/core/interface/imageproxy/imageproxy.php?img=https://images.weatherbell.com/model/ecmwf-deterministic/ohio/total_snow_kuchera/1613131200/1613563200-Tgyu6loXkd4.png&key=7bef5102fea56518e440e71c051687010f4ace8d02015800881fb2379394bd80

Depressing for Michigan.  Oh well.  Enjoy it to the south and east.  Big winners there.  Midwest/GL going to get shut out, then it's almost March.  Bring on warm and  Thunderstorms.  We need a warmer, more active Spring for once!!!

Still waiting on a big dog here in kzoo - no snows more than 3.5 inches for any 24 hr period! Misses west, east, north, south or systems lose umph when they get here. But still more season total snowfall ive probably ever had. At least you had that 8 inch day on the 5th!

Just as long as this doesn't hit Stasch. He's already thrown the towel on behalf of all Micigan. Seriously?? Need a tight gradient of 12" in mby to 1" in his. Gotta balance that nice Storm Warning and LES he just got a week ago.

Remember those storms I used to write about that connected my weather to yours? This looks like one of those "classics". Textbook if it works out right.
