Go to Hour 36. Saturday 7pm look at the difference. Will start off high ratio snows here and just continue getting wetter and wetter as storm gets closer then changes over
You can also go to your local NWS office winter page and click on ice forecast. (Change the 3 letter code in link for other offices. Ie: BOX for Boston. PHI for Philly)
A heavy snow band has been training over an area just to the south of me where my mother lives for hours now (lake and moody county which includes the communities of Madison, Colman, Nunda, Rutland, Egan, and Flandreu and Pipestone, MN)... it's likely they could get 12 inches there. Mind you these are parts of the country where compared to most of you, are not very populated but there are people under these bands, just not many. Around here with temperatures under 10 degrees, the snow is quite light and likes to blow around in such a way many of you have probably not witnessed before if you live in New England.
Here's a good webcam from SDSU which is about 10-15 miles north of that strong yellow area.
And a webcam looking at I-29 from as close to that yellow area as I can find. Because snow does not stick when it's this cold and the interstates are elevated, they are often some of the best roads to travel on out here despite the fact that they often close them... the snow will blow off of them. It's extremely rare to get much more than a foot per storm out here, our climate is more like Fairbanks than any of you especially within the coteau des prairies.
