The front range and Dakotas have amazing springs as well as falls... awesome shorts and T-shirt days to blizzards in the 10's and 20's with no worries of an extended period of shitty 40° rain and overcast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super windy. Very hot in the summer. Very cold in the winter. Very little average snowfall. Flat. Otherwise it’s awesome. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leelee Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 I have a friend near Williston and they are not pleased about the weather there. They get true blizzards that we very rarely get. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthBuffaloSteve Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Up to 67 already at 10am. Sky clearing up nicely after that miserable looking morning. Maybe squeak in a storm of two here today? Looks like a chance around lunchtime and then again 5-6pm. Could go for a nice thunderstorm. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vortmax Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 All of these fantasy charts are 384hrs, not really believing anything outside of 5 days. My guess the above snowfall comes 10+ days out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They get true blizzards that we very rarely get. I feel like blizzard warnings on the plains are far more tame than if we got a blizzard warning here, they seem to throw them around like candy for even the most minor events. They can get 3 inches of snow and high winds and its a "blizzard" because of low visibility for 12 hours. Underwhelming in my opinion. Our blizzards almost always entail extremely heavy snow along with the reduced visibilities and winds. Now all that said, this current storm is a true blizzard by any definition with both heavy snow, extremely strong winds, and very low visibilities...not to mention a duration of nearly 3 days. One of the biggest plains storms in recent memory. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfie09 Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 The next issue...when will this next front push into the forecast area and then how fast will it exit on Saturday. There is some suggestion that it will hang up and then slow its forward progression with a tightening of the thermal gradient and strong baroclinic zone developing across the forecast area from SW to NE Friday night. This could bring a fairly decent period of precipitation as it slowly works through the region. P-type may even become a bit tricky as it could get just cold enough to support a mix of rain and snow across the higher terrain overnight. Have added a mix of rain and snow across the higher terrain to cover this potential beginning the second half of Friday night. Saturday...the cold front appears to move ever so slowly through the region and then it turns sharply colder on the backside. We might even see precipitation mix with or change completely over to snow late in the day at all locations. This is considering 850 hPa temps are forecast to fall to -7C then to -10C by evening. Saturday night...its looking more likely that it will be cold enough aloft (-10C/-11C) to encourage a bit of a lake response. This is taking into account that Lake Erie and Ontario are now in the upper 30s to low 40s...marginal over lake instability. Nothing significant but nonetheless impressive for this late in the season. Could see some minor snow accumulations on grassy areas across the higher terrain SSE of the lakes overnight. Temperatures wise...lows will be found in the 20s to low 30s across the forecast area by daybreak Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stalling cold front, with rain in Sizzlecuse...then it finally moves through and we get some slush...and then N or NW winds kick in and the Finger Lakes down into BGM get the lake effect while we get flurries. Even getting trolled in Mid April... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfie09 Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Nam hangs up the CF a little farther southeast but still wants to throw some snow into the mix..
