John's graphic for the upcoming storm ...

[xsledder]

... all I can say is, DAMN!

John, you seem to be a bit higher in snow totals than the NWS is saying. Do you think the water ratio is going to be higher?

I think my county is going to be renting end loaders to open up roads.

Wondering the same thing?? The weather channel and the NWS has our area(Eau Claire WI) down for 12-14". John has us as 24" plus. Something I'm missing here??

Seems John is combining storm accumulations idk his formulas for that seems to be averaging on the high side he’ll have to generalize methods for his his estimate I’m just guessing. All snowfalls have moisture content and the ever present settling factors as well.

John’s yellow crayon is for storm totals COMBINED. Most news stations have said areas in 2-4, 3-5 range for TONIGHT and 8-12, 10-16, 12-18 range for THURSDAY…. Combine the higher ends and it puts you near 24”.

Yea...I got that. The NWS and Weather channel are saying12-14" Tues-Thurs. Guess we'll see who's the closest. Either way we should get something. Too bad its going to be March next week though. and not the first of January

For what it's worth MKW, our early AM local weather guru, showed a circled area, such as Twin Cities, Eau Claire area with Possible 24" plus? Not sure why he was showing that, seemed strange? He made the reference also to the H2O content to this storm in general. Locally we're fortunate to be below the Ice Storm area predicted, with 1" to 1.5" rain. If all our rain in this month of Feb. would have been snow, we would have a really deep accumulation on the ground. Perhaps 30" plus? My only wish is I were able to ride this winter.

I just hope it doesn’t wreck the trails like it did at at Hayward early this year.

Here in Hayward we had rain and then it snowed 16” when temps were in the low 30s. It was a very heavy snow. This time around temps are in the teens.

We went up to West Central Sconny, several years back after the Huge snow fall, Durand, Whitehall, Osseo areas. Unreal deep snow conditions, groomers stuck, and unable to navigate the hills. Workhard Playhard can relate to that storm I'm sure. Many dairy farmers had collapsed barns, animal loses, and severe damage. Hope this storm doesn't have the damaging results like that one had.
