Yeah and pretty sad Kansas is getting snow AGAIN before we even get 1/2". Anyway ..

Warnings are out now in Minnesota.




Snow total forecast. There's always a Jackpot zone with a storm.. Congrats to those in the yellow.



Future Loop. Watch Kansas get some snow and Southern Wisconsin get screwed.

Almost looks like the storm waits for that snowstorm over Southern Hudson Bay which goes into Quebec

^ Wow Southern Wisconsin really gets screwed.

Advisories up for areas just east of the Twin Cities with 3-6 inches expected there.

Yup, they just added it after I saved that image. Maybe will post update later. Wonder if they'll expand the warnings.

Here's another map of the setup. Looks like Denver may get a little bit from this storm.



NWS Sioux Falls mentioning the long duration, shows animation.
