HERE WE GO SNOW...
A MESSAGE FROM TSWAILS....
Hi everyone, I realize times are tough, and we are all feeling the pinch of inflation. That's the primary reason why this is a no pay site. However, I really could use your help to raise funds for the operational costs and time I invest in this site. Donations have been significantly down this year and to reach my goal of breaking even, I have a long way to go. Many of you are daily visitors and make financial or personal decisions based on the information presented. The majority of you appreciate the honesty, accuracy, and knowledge that you gain. If you fall into any of those categories, I ask that you make a $20 dollar investment in what I feel is a unique and reliable product. That way, we can keep things rolling as they have for more than 12 years. The future is in your hands, and I hugely appreciate the generosity of those who have contributed. So again, if you find value in the site and see the effort that's put into it, please consider a minimal donation to support TSwails today. Thanks for your time and loyalty, TS
HERE WE SNOW....
The first big snow of the season is about to get underway and won't stop for much of Wednesday. The long-lasting snow will lead to snow-covered streets through Wednesday. As a result, there are widespread Winter Storm Warnings... and as Terry alluded to the warnings were expanded to the northwest:
Snow could be falling for 12-14 hours through the day. This system will be an efficient snow producer as it will be very cold throughout the atmosphere. I think the 0z HRRR and EURO remain on the right track with the latest snowfall totals:
The EURO
The HRRR
The NBM (National Model Blend)
The GFS (finally figuring out what other models saw several days ago). Better late than never!
There's been a continual trend to the northwest, leading to lesser totals in the southeast. I think the depth of the dendritic growth zone (snow zone) and high snowfall ratios will still lead to 4-7" totals with some amounts possibly exceeding 8 inches in my NW counties.
There will be some high snowfall rates during the late morning through the afternoon, leading to the fluffy snow piling up. Winds won't be terribly strong, but enough to lead to some blowing and drifting in open areas:
The snow end in the late evening and temperatures will be dropping fast. We'll end up near zero Thursday morning:
Attention then turns to another storm on Friday into Saturday that is likely to bring additional snow accumulations.
Mr. snow himself (Terry) will have more on that in future posts. Roll white gold, and if you can spare a donation, he will see to it that it's money well spent....TS
