Will we ever see a decent snow?

Posted Tuesday, January 20, 2009, at 4:34 PM

The Alberta clipper system that brought snow showers this morning was just enough to get everybody's hopes up for a quality snowfall, but it fizzled without delivering much.

So much for "Winter Storm Edna."

Next on the docket is "Flanders." Long-range forecasts for next week suggest that the ingredients might finally come together for a quality snowstorm.

"SIGNIFICANT WINTRY PRECIPITATION LOOKING MORE LIKELY AT SOME POINT THE FIRST HALF OF NEXT WEEK," says the latest forecast discussion from the National Weather Service.

After a brief warmup this week, a cold front will deliver yet another Arctic airmass over the weekend, with temperatures generally remaining below freezing next week. This will set the stage for the white stuff. Maybe.

Here's an early look at the dartboard forecast:

  • You saw your decent snow earlier today, at least that's what was reported on the website earlier. How can 1/2 inch of snow even be considered for an article on the SEM website? What kind of press will it generate when the winds exceed 10-15 mph?????

    As far as the 'next winter system', on Sunday it will bypass us to the south then hang a sharp left and pummel the IL/IN/KY border with 2 feet of snow. In the meantime, Cape and areas west of the river will stay mild with temps in the upper 40's to near 50.

    Someone alert KFVS-12 so they can send their Live Local Late Breaking storm team reporters to the seen!!!!
