Chinook

A lot of severe storm and tornado warnings so far, with, no preliminary tornado reports

severe thunderstorm warning south of Chicago along I80

super heavy snow and ice

My place went from calm winds and cold yesterday, now to over 30mph wind gusts, warm front, mid 60's

Somebody already has 21" and there's a severe thunderstorm warning next to some 30 degree temperatures

The storm is getting going with moderate snow in SD, MN, ND. It seems like snow-virga is in Wisconsin and Michigan. This view gives the warnings that are most current, so not all the blizzard warnings show up.

This is perhaps a once-in-a-generation amount of blizzard warnings for March, in terms of area (not in Rockies)

sunset from 3/12

some snow reports

78mph wind gust in Fort Collins

I've never seen a 56 degree drop east of the Appalachians

my place just dropped from 70 to 56 with the lake cool air

Detroit broke the record already (75 vs 70)

WRF-ARW and WRF-NSSL have a similar look for severe cells in N IL tomorrow
