Thats the problem with stalled storms you rot in either. Fronto wallop then stall you get crushed or its wind blown shattered dendrites for hours, been there done that probably 5-8 times in my life, but also been on the other end 5-8 times.
I have been on the 12 to 24 train with friends, majority won't know the difference between 24 and 18 . effectively the GP with drifting ain't going to know
Just did a little check, temps are going to be in the teens with big winds, maybe we can verify the elusive midwestern below 20 degrees plus 35 mph 1/4 mile vis blizzard in spots
