I am really surprised with the conservative trend wrt public safety over the last couple years from the FGF office that I don't at least have a Winter Strom Watch issued with this point forecast.

Yeah, meanwhile ABR has a watch issued for Northeast SD. Night and day, these two offices.

Well, the long awaited Vet's Day storm is upon us and it's almost show time for the Northwoods....both northern and southern stream pieces are about to merge together over the W GL's and deepen into one solid and massive SLP.  Current meso analysis shows the main SLP forming just SE of MSP near Rochester, MN.

Not sure how close this is to @Beltrami Island, but nearly all the globals show a sig snowfall for his area.

This is an interesting storm as it is forming from two separate pieces of energy and while I was flipping through the surface maps this morning it caught my attention to the "SLOT".  The LRC's hot spot near the TX PanHandle has been one of the main storm tracks.  Anyway, I just wanted to point that out as this storm turns into a beast later today dropping SLP into the 980's and stalling out near W Lake Superior.

It was more bark than bite last night at my house.  I only recorded .3 inches, the heavier amounts were off to my west where KC set it's daily rainfall record.  Amounts were generally a 1/2-2 inches across the area.

What a difference a year makes!  Man, your area and KC has been a magnet.  Hoping for this to continue deeper into the cold season.

Quite the mess this morning.  Can't even really tell how much it snowed vs rained vs ground melted snow.  Side roads are a sloppy slushy mess.  All the maps have me in the bullseye for this one on the US side.  I think in 3-4 hours is when the hammer of snow is supposed to get going, we'll see.

Alerts for: Red Lake - Ear Falls

 

Quote

 

Warnings

4:54 AM EST Thursday 11 November 2021
Winter storm warning in effect for:

  • Ear Falls - Perrault Falls - Western Lac Seul
  • Red Lake - Woodland Caribou Park

First winter storm of the season expected to continue into Friday.

A developing low pressure system is bringing heavy snow to parts of northwestern Ontario. The heavy snow will taper to lighter snow or flurries Friday afternoon or evening.

The snow will be accompanied by strong winds at times which could result in reduced visibilities due to blowing snow.

Total accumulations of 25 to 40 cm are possible by Friday evening however regions in the swath of heaviest snow could see local amounts of up to 50 cm.

Driving conditions will be treacherous into Friday.

Surfaces such as highways, roads, walkways and parking lots may become difficult to navigate due to accumulating snow. Rapidly accumulating snow will make travel difficult. Visibility may be suddenly reduced at times in heavy snow. If visibility is reduced while driving, slow down, watch for tail lights ahead and be prepared to stop. Public Safety Canada encourages everyone to make an emergency plan and get an emergency kit with drinking water, food, medicine, a first-aid kit and a flashlight.

Please continue to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. To report severe weather, send an email to ONstorm@ec.gc.ca or tweet reports using #ONStorm.

 

 

Up to 50cm = 20 inches of wet snow.  In comparison, this same area had nearly bare ground all of last winter.

Like I said yesterday, night and day differences between 2 offices. I'm in a WWA despite getting equal totals and similar wind.

I'm liking how the radar is looking up in the Dakotas. Looks like it has its eyes set on northern IA.

Hoping to overachieve. The dry air looks to be filling in, but I'm still not getting anything more than flurries on the surface. 36°F.

Snowfall rate is finally starting to pick up.  Been snowing lightly most of the day but not fast enough to overcome the warm ground and accumulate.  NWS says 3-5" daytime accumulation, its going to have to start dumping at 1" accumulation per hour to be close to 3" accumulation.  At 33f that is very heavy snowfall rate.

The way this Low stalls and spins is perfect for the LES belts. GRR mentioning great moisture and lift the entire 4 day period (re-enforced by the clipper wave). NMI should be cold enough with their higher elevations raking white gold. My co-worker who's fam has a place up there said Gaylord had a foot with last week's little WWA event. Can't imagine they do worse with this set-up.
