    Winter sucks

    in What's Up?

    the higher you go up, the colder it gets. there's this thing called the snow line, too, which is generally related to an elevation.

     

    btw, have you heard that the twin cities are officially moving towards the nickname "twincy?" seriously. http://is.gd/clKb

     

    I get that the elevation would effect the temp or precipitation. What I dont get is that on the same forcast they would be reporting different elevations... why some days are they reporting conditions at the valley floor and some days at 1000 or 2000 ft? I mean without reporting the other on that day...

     

    Twincy is very dumb and no one would use it. So Im not worried.

    in What's Up?

    A STRONG LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL LIFT NORTHEAST INTO THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY BY THIS AFTERNOON. IN RESPONSE... HEAVY SNOWFALL AND BLOWING SNOW WILL RAPIDLY DEVELOP BLIZZARD CONDITIONS ACROSS WEST CENTRAL MINNESOTA THROUGH THIS MORNING... WHICH WILL PERSIST THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. SNOWFALL ACCUMULATIONS OF 5 TO 12 INCHES ARE EXPECTED WITHIN THE BLIZZARD WARNING... WITH THE GREATEST AMOUNTS NEAR THE ALEXANDRIA AND MORRIS AREAS. WHITEOUT CONDITIONS WILL OCCUR MAKING TRAVEL DANGEROUS AND NOT RECOMMENDED. WHILE SNOW WILL LIKELY BEGIN TO DECREASE IN INTENSITY AFTER DARK ACROSS THIS AREA... THE WINDS WILL REMAIN STRONG... POTENTIALLY GUSTING TO OVER 40 MPH. THIS WILL LEAD TO CONTINUED BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW WHICH WILL GREATLY REDUCE VISIBILITIES THIS EVENING.

     

    STRONG WEST TO NORTHWEST WINDS BEHIND A POTENT LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL LEAD TO SHARPLY FALLING TEMPERATURES THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING ACROSS THE AREA. SEVERE WIND CHILLS OF 25 TO 35 DEGREES BELOW ZERO WILL DEVELOP ACROSS MUCH OF CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN MINNESOTA OVERNIGHT INTO MONDAY. THIS INCLUDES THE TWIN CITIES METRO AREA.

     

    A WIND CHILL ADVISORY MEANS THAT VERY COLD AIR AND STRONG WINDS WILL COMBINE TO GENERATE LOW WIND CHILLS. THIS WILL RESULT IN FROST BITE AND LEAD TO HYPOTHERMIA IF PRECAUTIONS ARE NOT TAKEN. IF YOU MUST VENTURE OUTDOORS... MAKE SURE YOU WEAR A HAT AND GLOVES.
