Snow, that could end up with a lot of kids you have to remember to pick up. You ready for that?

The average temperature increases in the month of February. I remind myself of that to get through the worst part of the winter which is usually late January/early Feb.
Yeah, I think the lowest average low for us is around January 17th or so
Active Weather is the name of my Sandstorm cover band.
Looks much more active through the middle of January. 3 possible system to monitor. Ensembles have been more consistently showing a bigger storm Monday/Tuesday next week. Confidence is growing the system will be there but so much of the details surrounds how this system will cut the middle of the country.
I think there's high confidence the system does develop. But low confidence on where it tracks at this point.
Signal for cold air behind it is pretty good though.
Fingers crossed, snow lovers!

I'm flying home on Wednesday for a work trip. I've been begging for snow all winter so naturally it's gonna hit at the worst possible time for me.
I'll go make sure my snowblower still works, that should prevent the storm from rolling through.
A leak in my gas line appeared when I fired mine up in the fall. It's still sitting with that hose missing. This will increase the odds of a major storm until I replace the gas line.
Let our fates face one another and see which prevails...
I need it now. Weather Underground started at 5” and has continually dropped the forecast for Monday since. Now, we’re down to 1” and it’s making me sad. I need Earl to cheer me up.
Don't sweat it right now. From this mornings NWS DSM forecast discussion. "Deterministic medium range run-to-runs and variability remain psychotic"

WU is still saying 3” for CR. My iPhone weather app says 5”. But yeah, they’re dialing back the totals for central Iowa.
The one area I'm looking forward to AI in is weather forecasting. I understand why it's impossible to accurately model more than about 48 hours out, but hopefully AI helps with that some. That way, instead of saying we're going to get a foot of snow and us being pissed off that we got an inch, we would have hopefully been closer to the real amount and never gotten our hopes up. Probably a long ways off though considering all the dynamic variables.
