Good Wednesday, everyone. Another round of snow is rolling across the state today and is adding to our already crazy snow depth. This will be followed up by the potential for blockbuster cold temps for Thursday and Friday. Those numbers may rewrite the cold weather history books.<\/p>\n

The snow out there this morning will zip through pretty quickly and could be heavy at times. Some blowing snow is likely as this initial system works through here. Snow showers and squalls will then kick in this afternoon and evening. Many areas should be able to puck up, at least, a couple of inches out of this. 2″-4″ looks like a good bet between this morning’s stuff and the squalls later today.<\/p>\n

Winds will be very gusty and could top out at 35mph at times. That could create some blowing and drifting snow. I have also seen similar setups produce some thunder and lightning.<\/p>\n

The cold that comes in behind this is absurd. Readings by Friday morning will drop to -5 to -15 and that would shatter records. Highs during the afternoon will stay in the single digits. Wind chill numbers will be MUCH colder than what the actual temps are and that’s bad news. I can’t rule out some snow showers and flurries during the afternoon.<\/p>\n

Thursday night and Friday morning may see temperatures head into the history books…<\/p>\n

\"GFS<\/a><\/p>\n

Do whatever you need to do to prepare for that kind of crazy cold!<\/p>\n

Friday afternoon will see moisture returning from the southwest. The initial surge is likely to be in the form of snow and that may introduce a very messy weekend of weather around here. It will be another day or two before the models catch on to the snowpack and the depth of the arctic cold.<\/p>\n

The NAM seems to be figuring things out before some of the others. Look at the ugly stuff from Friday afternoon through Saturday morning…<\/p>\n

\"NAM\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Snow, sleet and freezing rain show up across much of the state during this time. That’s a situation to monitor closely in the coming days.<\/p>\n

The Canadian Model keeps showing a lot of frozen precipitation here this weekend…<\/p>\n

\"Canadian\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I leave you with the tools to track the snowy weather we have out there today…<\/p>\n
