Severe Winter Conditions possible in the next 2 weeks

Well, our first arctic shot will be coming in later today and tonight. Dont be suprised if you see some snow squalls and rapid whiteout conditions. Any snow should be brief but be aware of the possibility of a suprise or two.

The general trend over the next 7 days is dry and cold. Tomorrow appears to be the coldest day as temps will not make it out of the 20's. Windchill should be near zero tonight and through most of tomorrow. But thats Child's play compared to what may be coming down the road in early February when straight Vodka plunges down from Siberia.

There is a chance we may see some accumulating snow on Saturday and its something Im watching carefully. The general storm will miss to our south but there is a chance that some of that moisture makes it up here and gives us a surprise snow event(not big of course) but I will update tomorrow.

Finally, I am looking for a pretty good size snowstorm for late next week as the dry pattern ends and the southern stream becomes more involved. If this snowfall happens, it will be before the arctic blast. If there is snow on the ground, We could have a day in early February where the high day time tempreture never makes it above single Digits.

I will do a full update tommorow but Im going out on a limb and forecasting a major winter storm for late next week(Gulp)
