LOT

FRIDAY AND SATURDAY...HIGH PRESSURE RIDGING WILL MOVE ACROSS THE

AREA AND BREAK DOWN FRIDAY. THE UPPER TROUGH WHICH CROSSES THE AREA

TONIGHT WILL BE OFF TO THE EAST BUT THE NORTHERN SECTION WILL CLOSE

OFF OVER NORTHERN ONTARIO. THE LOCAL AREA WILL BE UNDER THE

NORTHWESTERLY FLOW BEHIND THE TROUGH WITH A SHORTWAVE EXPECTED TO

ZIP SOUTHEASTWARD FROM SOUTHERN ALBERTA CROSSING THE AREA LATE

AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING FRIDAY. THERE WILL BE A WEAK SURFACE

REFLECTION OF THE UPPER TROUGH WITH ANOTHER COLD FRONT CROSSING THE

AREA WITH IT. MODEL DETAILS DIFFER IN TERMS OF PRECIP AMOUNTS BUT

EXPECT THAT A FAIRLY STRONG BAND OF FORCING WILL CROSS THE AREA

DURING THIS TIME RESULTING IN A 3-6 HOUR WINDOW FOR SNOW TO MOVE

ACROSS THE AREA. LATEST GUIDANCE HAS SLOWED HE ARRIVAL SOMEWHAT SO

START AND END TIMES MAY NEED ADJUSTMENT. BEST UPPER FORCING LINES UP

WELL WITH THE OPTIMAL SNOW GROWTH ZONE AND THIS COULD HAVE THE

MAKINGS OF A SHORT LIVED BUT FAIRLY INTENSE SNOW EVENT. IN TERMS OF

AMOUNTS IT STILL APPEARS THAT ANYWHERE FROM A HALF TO PERHAPS 2

INCHES COULD ACCUMULATE. THE WAVE MOVES OFF TO THE EAST EARLY

SATURDAY WITH HIGH PRESSURE RIDGING BRIEFLY BUILDING IN FROM HIGH

PRESSURE CENTERED OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS. SATURDAY SHOULD BE DRY

AND MODESTLY COOLER THAN FRIDAY GIVEN SOME COLD ADVECTION.

Nickel diming to average ftw! :thumbsup:

That is exactly what seems to be happening here. This winter is giving 06-07 a run for it's money with the nickel and diming stuff. Gonna be hard to top that though as that had a slew of nickel and dimes here in Feb and beyond. Have to imagine some sort of record was broke ( most nickel and dimes? ) that winter considering that despite lacking one warning criteria event the seasonal total was nearly 20" above the norms and thus close to 80" on the season.

.SHORT TERM...

FAVOR NON NAM SOLN WRT HANDLING OF UPCOMING CLIPPER SYSTEM

Even though it's only an inch, it's always good seeing it snow. Much better than 33 and rain/sleet, which is what this area has experienced for the past 36 hours straight.
