This storm might be more interesting that we thought!

from UNR "Rapid City" AFD

STORM SYSTEM TO OUR SOUTHWEST LOOKS PRETTY IMPRESSIVE ON WATER VAPOUR THIS

EVENING. 00Z UPPER AIR ANALYSIS SUGGESTED SYSTEM WAS STRONGER THAN

WHAT 12Z/18Z MODELS HAD IN MIND...LIGHTNING OVER SOUTHERN NV...ON

NOSE OF 130KT JET STREAK.

what this means for us when it gets here who knows but most 0Z models tonight were a little stronger but also more west with the heavy snow...anymore west then my area is screwed but maybe it's time to pay the piper...7" shy of 3 feet for the month so i won't complain if i miss this one.

Yeah, this west trend isn't good for me either. Warmer temps and dry slot problems. I guess we will see how this all plays out.

You may all think you have your problems, but when it comes to the screw zone in the country, its eastern Nebraska /western Iowa. I've only managed 3 inches this month with every decent storm going northeast by 100 miles..this week i actually thought we could get a good one,but alas, its going just west and north of the area. what a pathetic winter

i agree 100%, i think here we have only had 1 or 2 inches though.

MPX went WWA for the rest of the FA for tomorrow's mess/sleetfest. at least you managed a warning, prins.

the combo of freezing mel****er, a coating of snow/sleet, and a bunch of drunk drivers is going to make for nasty roads tomorrow night.

edit: lols that meltwater gets censored because t*** is in the middle.

MPX busted with their 2-4" call here today...dry slotted with temp still at 35...hopefully tomorrows storm will refresh the slushy snowpack around here.

There are parts of western MN that are going to get smoked again Friday night with another 6-12". What a way to end the year with back to back storms!

could get quite interesting tomorrow...FSD mentions thundersnow in their AFD

ATMOSPHERE BECOMES INCREASINGLY UNSTABLE

AHEAD OF THE WAVE EAST OF THE JAMES RIVER VALLEY IN SOUTHEASTERN

SOUTH DAKOTA INCLUDING THE I-29 CORRIDOR THROUGH SOUTHWEST

MINNESOTA. CERTAINLY A POTENTIAL FOR THUNDERSNOW ACROSS THIS

AREA...AND IF THIS OCCURS FORECASTED AMOUNTS WOULD BE ON THE

CONSERVATIVE SIDE.

drove to watertown SD this morning about a 45 mile drive from Brookings to get some shopping done.. was raining then about 15 miles from town suddenly the interstate turns to ice and it changes to sleet, then snow 2 miles from watertown. Snowing at 930AM already. Temps were 34 in brookings and 22 in watertown 45 miles to north... drove back right away after shopping... was gonna stay but no way... the sleet rain line advanced to about 10 miles from brookings.. got the last of the shopping done and got in the garage just in time for the temps to start falling (could feel it) and everything freezing up with the sleet starting... this was around 11:15. Took until about 2 for the change from sleet to all snow, only about an inch or two for the first round.. amazing what a 45 mile difference can make. They probably got 4 inches there, which will put them 2-3 inches higher for round one, however they had less on the ground up to this point. Just glad we got something to cover up the brown snow and got rid of that sleet.

So far, going pretty much according to forecast. Lessor amounts for the first storm, a couple more inches west and north.

didn't get squat here...0.50" for rain, still waiting on the artic front to move through...tmp still 35 and foggy. anyway your area is in the jackpot zone for tomorrows event.
