Doesn't sound like they can make up their minds. It's still to early to tell, guess we will know more by the weekend.
How bad is it going to be here in SW Kansas! I hope it stays clear till Friday morning when I take off out of this ****!

THE OVERALL FORECAST IN REGARDS TO WINTER WEATHER POTENTIAL
AROUND CHRISTMAS HAS CHANGED SOMEWHAT SINCE YESTERDAY. THE MOST
RECENT COMPUTER MODELS ARE LESS AGGRESSIVE WITH THE SYSTEM SET TO
IMPACT THE SOUTHERN AND CENTRAL PLAINS FROM MONDAY THROUGH
WEDNESDAY OF NEXT WEEK...YIELDING LESS CONFIDENCE IN A MAJOR
WINTER STORM FOR OKLAHOMA AND NORTH TEXAS. HOWEVER...THERE ARE
STILL INDICATIONS THAT SOME WINTRY PRECIPITATION WILL BE POSSIBLE
FROM LATE CHRISTMAS EVE THROUGH DECEMBER 26TH. AS OF NOW...THE
MOST LIKELY TIMING OF ANY WINTER WEATHER WILL BE FROM EARLY
CHRISTMAS MORNING THROUGH THE DAY AFTER CHRISTMAS. EXACT
PRECIPITATION TYPE AND ACCUMULATIONS REMAIN UNCLEAR. IT TAKES VERY
LITTLE WINTRY PRECIPITATION TO CAUSE TRAVEL PROBLEMS...ESPECIALLY
IF ANY ICE ACCUMULATIONS OCCUR. IF YOU PLAN TO TRAVEL THE WEEK OF
CHRISTMAS...MONITOR THE WEATHER SITUATION CLOSELY...AND BE
PREPARED FOR WEATHER RELATED TRAVEL DELAYS.
I hope it snows a lot!

Anywhere between 3-6 inches forcast overnight here. Not sure how this is going to work as it's not supposed to be below freezing until tomorrow morning. It's 42 now and i can't see it really sticking.

It won't snow at my house and I'm 100% ok with it :-)
**** snow
Raining like an SOB here. Hail. No snow until 2-3am.
The big snowstorm is still out in western Kansas/Nebraska. It's a big **** storm. There's supposed to be 50mph winds along with it.
Funny. When watching the weather today I noticed the record low was -18 in 1983. not trying to be like grandpa but I remember that time and how ****ing cold it was compared to now.

Damn. Our worst is yet to come.
With a "life-threatening" snowstorm forecast to drop a foot or more of snow in south central and southwest Wisconsin by Thursday night, officials warned of impending traffic chaos and advised people to stay home. Every Dane County school district took the advice and canceled classes Thursday.
Gov. Scott Walker declared a state of emergency and municipalities across Wisconsin issued dire warnings in advance of the snow.
"We're asking people to stay off the roads for 24 to 36 hours," Dane County Executive Joe Parisi said Wednesday.
A winter storm warning remains in effect for the area until noon Thursday and a blizzard warning from noon until midnight, the National Weather Service said in its update about 5 a.m. Thursday.
Snow began falling at around 9 p.m. Wednesday in Madison and 5 to 6 inches were on the ground in the Madison area by about 5 a.m., Weather Central meteorologist Bill Romine told Madison.com.
Rain was mixing into the snow south and east of Madison and that would hold snow totals down for those areas, Romine said.
"Temperatures are right around 33, 34 now and the rain/snow line is just south of Madison," he said

...SNOW IS POSSIBLE ON CHRISTMAS DAY...
WITH ONLY FIVE DAYS LEFT BEFORE CHRISTMAS...ONE THING TO
KEEP IN MIND IS THE WEATHER FORECAST. A STORM SYSTEM WELL OFF
THE WEST COAST IS EXPECTED TO MOVE ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PLAINS
CHRISTMAS DAY. SNOW IS POSSIBLE...ALTHOUGH IT`S TOO EARLY TO TELL
HOW MUCH AND WHAT AREA MAY RECEIVE THE MOST SNOW...IF ANY.
AT THIS TIME...THE NORTHERN THIRD OF OKLAHOMA AND AREAS NORTH
HAVE THE BEST OPPORTUNITY OF RECEIVING ENOUGH SNOW TO CAUSE
SIGNIFICANT TRAVEL PROBLEMS. THOSE PLANNING TO TRAVEL AROUND
CHRISTMAS SHOULD REMAIN AWARE OF CURRENT FORECAST AND HAVE A
CONTINGENCY PLAN.

It's 73 degrees, pouring rain with tornado warnings. We don't have white Christmases here other than the sand . . . we have monsoon season.
Still cold - 25/WC 8 - but 38 tomorrow and 45 Saturday. It'll be like it was never here.

The blizzard is getting ramped up pretty good here in central Illinois, now. If the damn power keeps going off and on, we might as well send everyone home. I'm thinking it's about time to start drinking, anyway.

Models areas they often do with winter systems.
American GFS valid for midnight on the 26th (end of Christmas Day)
And for New Years Day morning..
And now you know another truth about meteorologists...not only are we allowed to be wrong a majority of the time, we are also capable of changing our mind every 6-12 hours. It's called job security folks.
KC, the family is headed up to the great KC suburb of Blue Springs for the first time since the 2009 blizzard (everyone thank me now for the incoming blizzard).
I see KC models all over the place. I see nws saying a good chance for snow the 25th and 26th. I see weather.com saying slight chance. I see the locals predicting nothing.
What are you seeing, or is everyone trying to get through today?
Funny thing about BS is that the weather can be totally different there than here. I think it's like 20 miles away. Well, as I said above most of the snow should be gone by Saturday. If I'd been not so lazy and worked on the driveway a little more it would be clear too. I just figured it would melt on its own so that was that. It's going to be cold tonight(like 14) but then in the upper 30's to mid 40's until Christmas. They were maybe talking about something the first of the week but with the slip n slide this morning they were too concerned about that. I'll see what they say a little later and get back to you.
Edit. Our weather guy from OU sez 20% chance of some sort of precip on Tuesday with a high of 31. Sounds pretty tame.

Someone on FB posted a long forecast from Aaron Tuttle where he predicted that Oklahoma, as far south as Norman, will likely see a major ICE event on Christmas Day. He said up to a foot of snow along the OK/KS border and then 1/2 to 1 inch of ice in OKC. He did hedge things a bit saying we won't know how much precipitation is really possible until sometime on Sunday.
White crap is falling from the sky, it's the end of the world... !!!
Love Aaron Tuttle
