New Winter Storm Tracks Through Midwest

Posted by: Shaun Tanner, 4:43 PM GMT on March 18, 2013

We've created a Winter storm tracking page you can use to see all the latest information for this Winter storm.

Snow total forecast for Midwest Winter Storm

A strong storm making its way across the Midwest is actually bringing hazardous weather to other parts of the country as well. One look at the radar loop for this current storm shows that all of the Winter-like weather is currently falling throughout the Upper Midwest.

Winter Weather Advisories are posted through the Upper Midwest, warning of several inches of snow and making travel hazardous.

Here are some current webcams, displaying the travel conditions throughout the area.

Brandon, MN:

Jamestown, ND:

Saint Paul, MN:

A storm out ahead of this Winter storm is bringing area of severe weather to the Southeast. The Storm Prediction Center has issued a slight risk of severe weather in parts of the Southeast, as noted by the yellow area below.

As the two storms begin to interact with each other tonight and into Tuesday, Winter weather will make its way through the Northeast. Winter Storm Warnings are already posted for parts of the Northeast in anticipation of yet more snow for New England.

Shaun - is there an explanation as to why it has been and continues to be so cold here in Minnesota - it has been brutal and collectively it seems that people here are about to go crazy - not even a hint of spring - no warm-ups, no thaws - just day after day of below average, lots of clouds, and frequent snowfall... really since mid-January we haven't seen much above average, and in fact I heard that for the Twin Cities metro, it has been 30 years since we've gone this long without a 40 degree day - the next few days are forecast over 25 degrees below averages - is this a global pattern, is it the "NAO", is it the jet stream? It appears there are no signs yet of a shift - the extended forecasts are showing more of the same. I know it is a big joke in the weather world how people look out there window and make global judgments about the weather, but it is REALLY hard to swallow global "warming" to have to live in this when it should be springtime. Would love to hear an explanation for this pattern. Clearly I am biased, because I think it sucks and I'm jumping on the collective craziness bandwagon that has ensued here, and am about ready to commit myself to a mental ward, but it would be helpful to know "why"???

Right now there is a negative Nao and a blocking pattern over Greenland. Unil these factors break down, expect little relief.I hear little relief expected until early April. I have a farm and am sick of cold and snow here in Central Wisconsin. I also watching long term forcast. I would like to get in my car and head south. I do not care what gas costs.
