Last night was a classic perfect snow. My forecast that I put out two nights ago was pretty dead on, besides the fact that toward the end there actually was some organization, which I did not anticipate on. But non the less, lots of people picked up a nice dusting to close to a half inch of snow. It was crazy though, how accurate the future forecast was that weather.com put out. There radar was able to forecast 6 hours out that all the small little clumps of snow were going to come together and strenghten, which is something you couldn't forecast by just looking at the current radar output. But now the bigger news, the monster storm!!!
Sadly the storm that weeks out looked like an eastern seaboard storm, is now a complete midwestern storm where blizzard warning are now out. Someone out there is going to pick up 18 to 24 inches of snow ith gusts close to 60 mph! So a big one. As for us expect lots of heavy rain and wind starting after midnight tonight and last into after midnight and sunday before changing to a mix of moderate rain and snow, and then by monday we should get some nice snow showers and wind as temperatures rapidly drop to below freezing. The days to come after that don't be suprised if temperates don't get above 20 degrees for a high. as for the snow, its hard to tell for amounts. We may just have no accumulations or maybe we get enough cold air to come in to see a 1-3 inch snow total.
Just quick about the long ranger. I was just glancing at accuweather.com's 15 day forecast, and I saw mid and upper 40's and rain! We have to hope not. We want snow!!!!
