| Anonymous Coward User ID: 30404112 Portugal12/20/2012 12:23 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Posted by: Dr. Jeff Masters, 05:03 PM GMT em 19 de Dezembro de 2012 Winter Storm Draco is powering up over the Upper Midwest, and is poised to bring a resounding end to the record-length snowless streaks a number of U.S. cities have notched this year. Blizzard warnings are posted over portions of Colorado, Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa, Illinois, and Wisconsin, and snowfall amounts of up to a foot are expected in some of the affected regions. While the heavy snow will create dangerous travel conditions, the .5" - 1.5" of melted water equivalent from the the storm will provide welcome moisture for drought-parched areas of the Midwest. Though much of the moisture will stay locked up as snow for the rest of the year, runoff from the storm may help keep Lake Michigan and Huron from setting an all-time record low for the month of December, and may also keep the Mississippi River at St. Louis above the -5' stage though the end of December. If the river falls below -5', barge traffic on the Mississippi may be forced to halt, costing billions of dollars. The Army Corps of Engineers is blasting away rocks on the river bottom south of St. Louis and releasing water from Carlyle Lake in Southern Illinois this week, in order to keep the Mississippi River high enough to allow barge traffic to negotiate the near-record low water levels. Several gauges on the Mississippi have set all-time record lows this year: the New Madrid, Missouri gauge on August 30, 2012 and the Tiptonville, Tennessee gauge on September 2. Records at the Tiptonville gauge go back to at least 1879.... [link to www.wunderground.com] |

When we did, we would get an maybe inch, then it would turn to rain and melt it. You going to go sleddin? It is construction-grade snow! Very wet and heavy, good for snowmen guarding snowforts. ;-`) It's coming down pretty heavy, the news stations are saying 1.5 to 2 feet likely before it subsides.

"A narrow line of showers and a few thunderstorms will accompany the front around midnight," Clay said. "Don’t expect any severe thunderstorms although there might be some gusty winds with the front and showers." High temperatures during the day Friday will be in the low 60s. Temperatures will dip into the low 40s across the area and the Freeze Watch will be in place for Saturday morning for Pasco, Hernando and Citrus counties. Citrus and Hernando counties are forecast to drop into the upper 20s while Pasco should drop into the lower 30s. Sunday morning should be just as chilly with lows in the 20s in the area's northern counties to 40s around the Bay area. High temperatures on Saturday and Sunday will only be in the 60s. Conditions will return to the mid 70s by the start of next week. The Bay area will see a mild and dry Christmas with daytime temperatures in the mid 70s. |
