Possible huge snow storm next week?

[cypack747]

So does anyone know what the timeline will be? I saw that it will start Monday night but when will the majority of the snow fall? Or is it just going to be continuous from Monday night to Wednesday?

Sounds like all day Tuesday will be the worst of it.

They model predictive data. I suppose you can call that a guess, but in scientific terms, I don't think that is accurate. It's an algorithmic mathematical prediction based on current and historical data.

The best advice I've heard of models in general is: All models are wrong, some are useful.

I thought Wesley and Earl were brothers?

Earl is a cousin. The storm is shifting south and more east for the dump. Beware, IC and Madison.

Hopefully that is the case because if we get the amount of snow and winds they are talking about the drifts on my driveway might be taller than me.

From what I read, the storm will come ashore the west coast on Sunday, at which point they can get physical readings rather than just satellite data. At that point the models have better data to look at and will become more reliable. Anything prior to that is really for entertainment purposes only.

I have a feeling after all of this is said and done, Des Moines will end up with about 1-2 inches of snow, but it will be blowing around so much that we won't even have to shovel.

Do you just have this auto refreshing every 10 minutes?

It updates every 6 hours or so.

This is the first one I saw move more north from the previous projection. Hope it keeps moving south.

Snow in March is evil.

March is the snowiest month in Denver. HTH.

March 2003

But that probably all melted by 5:00pm that evening

They called the East coast storm two weeks ago to the 90% + of actual occurrence using the same models and data when it was in well off the west coast. As for Iowa City getting more snow there is likely more precipitation to fall in IC due to warmth and more snow towards the center of state due to cold air.

And what % of the time do they do that? There are a lot of factors at play, not all of which can be predicted (though they are getting better and better over time).

KCCI says 1-3 or 1-6, WTF, what kind of snowmagedden is that weak ****?
