More than 7 inches of snow recorded so far in Minnesota's Twin Cities, causing commute times to double or triple - @StarTribune

A RECENT INCREASE IN ELEVATED TSTMS HAS BEEN NOTED OVER NRN MS WITH STORMS LIKELY ROOTED WITHIN THE EML AND FORCED BY HEIGHT FALLS/DCVA AHEAD OF THE EVOLVING...LARGE-SCALE TROUGH. THESE STORMS SHOULD CONTINUE EWD WITH A RISK FOR SOME HAIL APPROACHING SEVERE LEVELS. SURFACE-BASED STORM DEVELOPMENT IS ANTICIPATED THIS AFTERNOON ALONG THE COLD FRONT FROM NWRN GA INTO AL WITH ACTIVITY GROWING UPSCALE INTO A BROKEN CONVECTIVE BAND. GIVEN THE STRONG LOW-LEVEL AND DEEP-LAYER SHEAR FORECAST... THE POTENTIAL WILL EXIST FOR EMBEDDED BOWING AND/OR SUPERCELL STRUCTURES WITH A RISK FOR DAMAGING WINDS AND PERHAPS A TORNADO. EXPECT THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT TO DIMINISH LATER THIS EVENING INTO TONIGHT AS THE BOUNDARY LAYER GRADUALLY COOLS AND STABILIZES. [link to www.spc.noaa.gov] NWS atlanta says further southwest than SPC and I would agree [link to www.srh.noaa.gov] and the snow should stay north [link to www.srh.noaa.gov]

MT @accu_henry: I'm more concerned about Precip type in DC, Baltimore & Philly now considering low levels maybe too warm for snow

could these things be MAN MADE WEATHER????

I know many countries can MANIPULATE the weather.

Doorbert say yes...

Weather Journal's @blkahn has the latest on what Greater New York can expect from the #snowquester nor'easter: [link to blogs.wsj.com] …

...
FOR THIS REASON...HAVE
ADDED A SMALL SLIGHT RISK AREA TO ACCOUNT FOR THE POSSIBILITY OF
SUPERCELL DEVELOPMENT IN WCNTRL GA LATE THIS AFTERNOON.

It's 33 right now in Hub City..

meaning ice? or all rain?

Good morning, Luis!




Washington Post endearingly calling the storm Snowquester too!

We just need to know if Jim Cantore is flying to DC. Then we will know for sure! LOL

Snowquester!

LOL! I remember those days when my kids were kids :) Never heard of the spoon thing though.

36 degrees here at the NJ Shore. (9:30am)

The kids say the spoon represents a shovel needed for lots of accumulations!

Time to change the title to the Snowquester!

Thanks for the thread Ricky R!

Pinned the thread so we can keep up with the models Luis sends.

I hope to be out of Rockville and in Hub City before dark. Gotta give my husband a 'pep talk' for some major shoveling, if you know what I mean.

Holy cow, my first pin!!!!

Thanks so much to you and Luisport.

Sounds like they aren't completely certain yet for the DC/Baltimore area. I've seen anything from 3 inches to 15 inches for this area.

First major weather event to pass over MD in a very long time without any chemtrailing in advance of the storm

o.k. - here is my dream from last night:

my deceased mother in law was greeting people she passed by saying "sun-o, sun-o". she was japanese and normally they bow, but in the dream she was reverse bowing....like arching back and face up as if she were announcing it. and all the people she greeted laughed at her and seemed happy about it.

so i googled "suno japanese" this morning and it is just a japanese way of saying "snow". like suno-mo-biru for snow mobil or suno-taiya for snow tire.
