Veteran's Day Winter Storm Potential

Recommended Posts

My first snow flakes happened this evening on my way home from my parent's. Happy Birthday to me! It was like Mother Nature was handing me a gift. Very windy drive home with rain showers that turned to snow. I was on phone with my brother and said "its snowingggg"

In a lull now but the snow shower/wind  should kick up later tonight. Sioux City had 50mph gusts earlier.

Overall agree this was a dud.  Bark worse than bite.  Biggest issue was yesterday it snowed pretty much all day without no accumulation, snow in the air but rain practically.  Once it cooled off around sunset last night and it finally started to accumulate, the snow had much less qpf than models previously showed.  I don't know if its everywhere or just particular to my area, but moisture on the NW side of storms is way overdone consistently on all models, from the latest high res Euro to the lowest res NAM.  This time was no exception.

Had a brief few minutes of big snow flakes mixed with in with the rain so far. Otherwise mostly just rain.
