There is a secondary pop and that’s what bumps up totals for the east (including me as I’m now at 4-6”). It’s why these deals never get me giddy. Will be happy with whatever comes though. I’m still close to the fail line for that too. yep. that is why I am so skeptical of a frontal passage snow. There never seems to be a secondary on them or close to being a producer. Not snowing here now, have a trace of snow. Welcome Bitter air for a couple of days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paweather Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 They upped our grid: Snow. High near 32. Southeast wind 5 to 7 mph becoming light and variable in the afternoon. Chance of precipitation is 100%. Total daytime snow accumulation of 3 to 5 inches possible. Interesting. Maybe there is still some hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTrout Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Looks like a couple inches for some of us today, maybe a nice squall line tomorrow and maybe some light snow for the southern half of the state Friday, plus the coldest week of the season. Not the worst week of winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pasnownut Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 little meso war going on.... dont ya think? 12Z NAM's just cancelled my snow while some still have us doing well enough down here.

canderson Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 I'm realllllllly curious if MDT breaks 0 tomorrow night. If winds die off quickly I think they'll have a good chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truth is that in this pattern we are going to need to ride the line, as the pac is just muckin stuff up. If its all NS derived events, we'd get clipped but theyd be snofart kinda snows, and not juicy. Boundary is where the action will be. Verbatim I'm in trouble down here but hope the northern 1/2 of the state would have a little better chance with the zonal look. Thats as far as I'm willing to delve in right now, as there is so much volatility right now. MJO gets towards 8 or -AO and it may be workable for sure.

I would rather play the gamble game with more southern activity for us and hope we get a good track to the east for snow or even a start as snow to ice/rain back to snow. Feb is a key month for us.

Winds likely will be too high that w/out radiational cooling, You'd likely flirt w/ it. regardless, its gonna be plenty cold enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarlislePaWx Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 For our region a wind chill advisory means wind chills will be between -5 to -15 F for a sustained period of time. A wind chill warning means wind chills will drop to anything below -15F, usually -15 to -25F for a sustained period. I've been following the progression of the core of the arctic air, which right now is crossing from Canada into northern Minnesota. The GFS has been forecasting 850 temps to be -39C as that core traverses southeast through the state. -39C is very close to -40F which is pretty dramatic cold. In their forecast discussion the Mets were saying they haven't seen this kind of cold come down out of Canada in many years. It's already down to -15F at MSP and they are forecast to drop to a low of -30F both tonight and tomorrow night. Tonight, however, there will be gusty winds and their wind chills are expected to range from -45 to -65F ! YIKES. Our lows tomorrow night will be with wind so most of us will have similar temps at similar elevations. If we can keep skies clear long enough Thursday night, winds should go calm and I would think we'd have a shot at lower lows. In my grid I've got a forecast low of -1 tomorrow night but +4 Thursday night. Last thought...CTP is pretty bullish on snow squalls late tomorrow morning with heavy snow mentioned and a 50% likelihood. Tomorrow might turn out to be more exciting than today. I love snow squalls even though they rarely last more than 5-10 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really baffles my mind....really. and in truth IF i hear an advisory vs a warning, its NO different of an approach to 99% of us. If I'm wrong, someone tell me to shut up. Wouldnt be the first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Santa Clause Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 People are stupid and unfortunately stupid people have kids...warning is stronger than advisory and if it gets through to one stupid person that a kid can die of exposure on walk to school with slip or incident a life was saved.

Guess I just question that we live in an era where one needs to be told EVERYTHING. Its one thing to get information out about the cold, but another to worry about adv vs warning. The first part makes perfect sense....the second part makes little to me. Hope you see my point. onward.......its snowing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
