December 9th and 10th Clipper

Figured we should actually have a devoted thread for this, should be a solid hit for most of Wisconsin and Michigan, in the 4-7" range. Decent amount of wind behind the system as well.

Cams and medium range models caved to the southern track the globals have been showing for a while. Should be a solid storm for most of MSP and central Minnesota.

Expecting some wind driven sprinkles here, followed by a few passing snow showers late tonight.  Biggest story here will be 40+mph winds later tonight/tomorrow.

What a cutoff on the euro for the metro area. It seems most often than not, it cuts right through detroit.

If we lose more than 2-3 inches, it will be very frustrating after such a good start to the season.  There's so little margin of error here for maintaining appreciable snow cover...even 12-18 hours of milder temps can do a lot of damage. 

The new wrinkle this season has been melting from below due to warm soil temps.  Heaven forbid you try to build a snowpack early in the season...

Wait till we lay another 10" the next five days and then it torches till Christmas

Yep, trying to ignore that for now and enjoy the next 5-7 days. Hopefully WI/MI can cash in on the event later today and tomorrow.
