Snow on my way?

Posted by: FunnelVortex, 6:48 PM GMT on December 05, 2012

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT

HAZARDOUS TRAVEL IS POSSIBLE LATE TONIGHT INTO THURSDAY MORNING
ACROSS NORTH-CENTRAL AND FAR NORTHEAST WISCONSIN. A MIX OF LIGHT
SNOW...SLEET OR FREEZING RAIN COULD CAUSE UNTREATED ROADS...BRIDGES
AND SIDEWALKS TO BECOME SLICK.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY

HAZARDOUS TRAVEL IS POSSIBLE SUNDAY INTO MONDAY AS LOW PRESSURE
MOVES THROUGH THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES REGION. THIS SYSTEM COULD
BRING AN ACCUMULATING SNOWFALL TO THE AREA. THERE IS MUCH
UNCERTAINTY IN THE STRENGTH OF THE STORM AND HOW MUCH
PRECIPITATION IT WOULD BRING TO THE AREA. LATER FORECASTS WILL BE
ABLE TO GET A BETTER HANDLE ON THE EVOLUTION OF THIS STORM AND
PRECIPITATION/SNOWFALL AMOUNTS.

Yeah, I know this is not the 'superblizzard' I'm waiting for (that I need very badly, by the way). But it is a start.

Waiting for my first blizzard of the season.

Posted by: FunnelVortex, 8:02 PM GMT on December 03, 2012

I live in Wisconsin, and I am waiting for the first blizzard of the year.

Good blizzards around here can have well-defined circulation, high winds, and/or thundersnow with them.

I know what needs to come in play for a powerful Wisconsin blizzard.

First I need the jet stream to take a route across the plains to the lakes.

Second, I need a strong, southernly wind from the Gulf.

Third, I need a low to come out of the rockies and develop into a strong cyclone in the planes.

Then, I need the Jet Stream to carry it Northwest and deliver it here.

And for some extra juice, the blizzard may feed off of moisture from the lakes.

When I get it I will post you about it.
