*Winter Storm Iola: Snow for Southern Plains, Southwest and Possibly the Mid-South (FORECAST)
By Linda Lam

Published Jan 22 2015 03:57 PM EST
weather.com

Winter Storm Iola will continue to bring significant snowfall to the Southern Rockies and Southern Plains through Thursday as it begins its long journey that will eventually take it into the Appalachians and Northeast.

Winter Storm Iola was named Wednesday afternoon by the winter storm naming committee at The Weather Channel. Iola met The Weather Channel naming criteria because by late Wednesday afternoon, the National Weather Service had issued winter storm warnings covering more than 450,000 square kilometers (173,746 square miles) in New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma and Colorado. Our threshold for naming requires winter-related warnings covering at least 400,000 square kilometers or 2 million people. (The population under warnings was just over 1.8 million at this writing.)

Winter Storm Iola was named Wednesday afternoon by the winter storm naming committee at The Weather Channel. Iola met The Weather Channel naming criteria because by late Wednesday afternoon, the National Weather Service had issued winter storm warnings covering more than 450,000 square kilometers (173,746 square miles) in New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma and Colorado. Our threshold for naming requires winter-related warnings covering at least 400,000 square kilometers or 2 million people. (The population under warnings was just over 1.8 million at this writing.)

Iola's Southern Plains and Southern Rockies Snow

Snow from Iola began to develop Tuesday night in parts of Colorado and northern New Mexico, and continued to expand Wednesday into the Texas Panhandle.

Through Thursday, snow will continue in the mountains of central New Mexico, in parts of West Texas and western Oklahoma, while rain will be found throughout central and eastern Texas, much of southern Oklahoma and into parts of Arkansas and Louisiana.

Impressive snowfall rates occurred in New Mexico as well as the Texas Panhandle Wednesday evening as the storm cranked up in intensity. Amarillo experienced snowfall rates as high as 3 inches per hour, and snowfall totals from this single storm have already exceeded the city's snowfall accumulations for the entire season.

Here is a list of notable snowfall totals as of 3 p.m. EST Thursday:

- 16 inches near Edgewood, New Mexico
- 14 inches in Sedillo, New Mexico
- 13 inches in Canyon, Texas
- 13 inches reported near Amarillo, Texas
- 11.5 inches reported near Colorado Springs, Colorado
- 9 inches Dalhart, Texas
- 8 inches in Amarillo, Texas
- 8 inches near Tres Ritos, New Mexico
- 5 inches in Cimarron, New Mexico
- 4 inches near Los Alamos, New Mexico
- 2 inches near Santa Fe, New Mexico
- 2 inches near Denver, Colorado
- 1.1 inches near Albuquerque, New Mexico

Winter storm warnings have been posted for portions of the Southern Rockies and Southern Plains, including Santa Fe and Amarillo, for moderate to heavy snowfall. Winds gusts of over 30 mph are also possible through Thursday.

Travel along I-40 from east of Amarillo westward to Albuquerque and on I-25 south of Albuquerque will be impacted by wintry weather through Thursday. The National Weather Service in Albuquerque warns that "snow-packed and icy roadways are likely" into Thursday evening.

A mixture of rain and snow is possible west of Dallas Thursday night and just north of Little Rock on Friday. However, little to no snow accumulation is expected.

Friday's Forecast

Iola's Gulf Coast Soaking; Possible Snow in Mid-South

The warm side of Iola will produce significant rains along the Gulf Coast.

Late Thursday an area of low pressure will begin to form in south Texas which will enhance the rainfall in eastern Texas and the lower Mississippi Valley.

Moisture will spread into the Southeast Thursday night and into Friday. Most of the precipitation will fall in the form of rain, though a mix of rain and snow is possible from Arkansas to middle Tennessee, Kentucky and the southern Appalachians.

(FORECAST: Little Rock | Memphis | Nashville | Asheville)

Again, depending on exactly how cold it gets, some places near the northern fringe of the rain could end up with some light accumulations of wet snow.

The rain will be heavy near the Gulf Coast where 1 to 2 inches of rain is expected, with locally higher amounts. Rainfall will generally be less than an inch farther north.

(FORECAST: Houston | New Orleans | Atlanta | Tallahassee )

A few thunderstorms are also possible with this system. The chance for thunderstorms will be found in southern and coastal Texas on Thursday and in northern Florida and adjacent parts of south Alabama and south Georgia on Friday.

Local WX expert is calling for us to get 1-3" of snow overnight. We had a dusting this morning that melted as the temp went up a couple of degrees from freezing through the day and the precip changed from snow to rain. It's still raining but it's now back down to freezing and ice is beginning to form on the trees.

BUT the new-to-us used Yamaha Grizzly 700 ATV with a snowplow is in the garage as of yesterday. Haven't had a chance to get chains for it yet though ... with ice that would be a problem pushing snow.

Yep. Been raining here since last night, but was sure hoping we'd get some snow. Had a very few sprinkles of snow the other day, but stopped really fast.

 

[Dex]

We've already had snow this week, about 3 inches, stuck for about 2 days and melted off yesterday. It's been cold here for a few weeks though, the ground has been frozen for quite some time. It doesn't really get snowy till Feb around here anyway, the end of Jan. I was expecting it earlier and heavier this year but we aren't anywhere near done yet. It wasn't that long ago when they called for a couple of inches and we got feet instead, one major storm on top of another...about 2010 IIRC. Ya never know as they say...

Here too Dennis. But it stopped around 2pm.

Ok; its 6:33PM and its officaly started snowing, we're getting a mix of large and small flakes and wet snow at that, temp is 35F and dropping.

Storm bearing down on Northeast could bring up to 3 feet of snow to parts of southern New England; weather service warns of possible hurricane-force winds - @BostonGlobe

-----------

Storm heading toward Massachusetts could leave up to 3 feet of snow

January 25, 2015

A massive storm with the potential to drop 1 to 3 feet of snow, whipped by hurricane-force wind gusts, is expected to hit southern New England Monday night, lasting through Tuesday and possibly going into Wednesday morning.

“This storm definitely has the capability of being not only historic but also catastrophic,” said Benjamin Sipprell, meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Taunton.

A blizzard watch is in effect for eastern Massachusetts, coastal areas of Connecticut and all of Rhode Island, with a winter storm watch in effect for Cape Cod. Coastal flooding is possible.

While there’s some uncertainty about the amount of snow or where the line of warmer rain-producing air might fall, there is no question, Spirrell said, that southern New England is in store for a major storm.

“People should be making preparations right now,” Spirrell said. “It’s going to be bad, no matter what. … Everything’s probably going to shut down. This is going to be all-out white-out snow, crippling everything. We’re highly advising no travel, starting late Monday, going into Tuesday and on into Wednesday.”

Winter storm "Juno" to hit NE with historic blizzard

Or at least they say that every year.........

But let's post updates, outages, aftermath all in one thread?

"Historic" Blizzard To Slam Northeast On Monday Night: Over A Foot Of Snow Expected In New York City

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-...y-night-over-foot-snow-expected-new-york-city

If there were still any doubts whether the Fed would delay its "consensus" June rate hike, those just died a quiet death as a result of the latest "GDP-crushing" weather update, which according to the weather channel, will see Winter Storm Juno, currently located just south of the Great Lakes, transform into a blizzard for the Northeast Monday and Tuesday, and which will result in the accumulation of more than a foot of snow in places likes New York City and 2 feet or more in Boston.

This is how the National Weather Service's forecast office in Boston summarized what is about to be unleashed on Sunday morning:

CHILLY AND BLUSTERY CONDITIONS EXPECTED THROUGH MONDAY. A MAJOR AND POTENTIALLY HISTORIC WINTER STORM WILL AFFECT THE REGION MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY NIGHT...TRAVEL MAY BECOME IMPOSSIBLE AND LIFE THREATENING. DRIER WEATHER FOLLOWS WEDNESDAY INTO EARLY THURSDAY...BUT WILL HAVE TO WATCH FOR ANOTHER CHANCE OF SNOW BY THE END OF THE WORK WEEK.
And with that out of the say, here is where Juno is located currently.

Where it is going.

And how much snow it will bring:

According to the Weather Channel, blizzard watches have already been issued from parts of southern New England, including Boston and Providence, to New York City and northeast New Jersey. A winter storm watch is in place for the Philadelphia metro area.

Key points:

Moderate-to-heavy snow likely from portions of the coastal Mid-Atlantic (New Jersey, eastern Pennsylvania) to New England.
Peak impacts late Monday through Tuesday.
Accumulations of 1 to 2 feet likely (locally 2+ feet possible).
Blizzard or near-blizzard conditions will make travel impossible.
Flight cancellations, major delays and possible airport closures late Monday through Tuesday.
Damaging wind gusts and coastal flooding also expected.
Lighter snowfall from the Midwest to the central Appalachians and Mid-Atlantic Sunday into early Monday.
Some more tips from the Weather Channel: "Now is the time to prepare and make sure you have the supplies you need for this major, possibly historic, winter storm. Do not proceed with any travel plans in the affected areas late Monday and Tuesday."

The details:

A widespread area of 1 to 3 inches of snow is likely from parts of northern Illinois through northern Indiana and Ohio. Heavier totals of up to 4 or 5 inches are possible in a narrow corridor through central Ohio.
By far, the heaviest snowfall amounts from Juno are expected from eastern Pennsylvania and New Jersey to New England. As shown on our forecast map, here is what can be expected in the Northeast:
Washington, D.C. could see some light snow accumulations late Sunday night into Monday, but the heaviest amounts will likely stay to the north and west of the city.
More than 6 inches of snow is possible in the Philadelphia metro area.
The New York City area is forecast to see a foot or more of heavy snow. Near-blizzard conditions possible.
Parts of eastern and southern New England, including Boston, Providence, Rhode Island and Portland, Maine, have the potential to see up to 2 feet of snow. Locally more than 2 feet of snow is possible, particularly in eastern Massachussetts. The snow will be accompanied by blizzard or near-blizzard conditions.
Snowfall rates of more than 2 inches per hour are possible during the peak of the storm Monday night into Tuesday.
The day by day forecast:

Sunday Night: Snow or a rain/snow mixuture sweeps through the central Appalachians and into the Mid-Atlantic.


Monday: Light to moderate snow from southern New York to the central Appalachians. A rain and snow mixture is expected near the I-95 corridor in Washington, D.C. By later in the afternoon, the storm will begin to crank up, spreading snow from the coastal Mid-Atlantic northward to Long Island.


Monday evening through overnight: Juno's peak impacts begin and continue through the overnight from parts of eastern Pennsylvania and New Jersey through New England. Snow and strong winds will create blizzard conditions, making travel very dangerous or impossible.


Tuesday: Peak impacts from Juno continue from New Jersey and eastern Pennsylvania to New England. Travel will continue to be dangerous or impossible.


Tuesday Night through Wednesday: Snow continues in New England, winding down from south to north.
And some more GDP-devastating predictions from Mashable:

The storm may prompt the virtual shutdown of large portions of New Jersey, southeastern New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island between Monday night and Tuesday night, as it whips up winds gusting to 70 miles per hour or more, along with snowfall rates approaching 4 inches per hour at times.

The timing of the worst weather looks to be between late Monday into Tuesday for New York City, where forecast uncertainty is a bit higher than for southern New England, since it could on the western edge of the areas of heaviest snowfall. Blizzard watches are in effect for northern New Jersey and New York City from late Monday into Tuesday night, with snowfall totals possibly reaching as high as 2 feet even in the city itself.

A blizzard watch means there is a potential for blizzard conditions, whereas a blizzard warning would indicate a high likelihood of imminent blizzard conditions. Warnings may be issued as soon as Sunday night, depending on additional weather data.
Finally, the biggest question is for Bill de Blasio: will NYC's relatively new mayor learn from last year's poor snowfall removal embarrassment or is even more humiliation about to be piled on the mayor who is now actively boycotted by at least a portion of the New York City police?

One of the most uncertain aspects of the forecast concerns locations on the western periphery of the heavy snow shield.

This would include places like the Hudson Valley of New York, New York City and much of central and northern New Jersey. Snowfall totals in these areas could range from a relatively modest 6 inches — if the storm drifts just a bit further east than currently forecast — or closer to 2 feet, as currently forecast for a track that hugs the coastline.

This storm could prove to be a major test for New York City Mayor Bill DeBlasio, who was criticized last winter for the poor snowfall removal performance of city plows during a more modest storm. Also to be tested is Boston's new mayor, Martin J. Walsh, who was sworn in on Jan. 6, 2014, and has not been at the helm of the city during such a high-impact storm. Mayoral elections have previously been won or lost based mainly on snow-removal performance.

The big northeastern cities have yet to see a major snowstorm so far this winter, which could heighten the impacts of a powerful storm like this — much like a heat wave that hits in May rather than in August, when people are more accustomed to hot temperatures. A weaker storm did bring several inches of snow over the weekend, but mainly to inland areas of southern New England.
One thing is clear: Q1 GDP, whatever the always wrong consensus thought it would be until this week, just plunged by ~1.5%. Because a winder storm in the winter, now that is truly unprecedented, especially when it happens for the second year in a row.
