This first clipper will bring a round of snow from the Plains to the western Great Lakes today, then from the Mississippi River eastward tonight.
Gusty winds will accompany this snow, leading to blowing snow that will greatly reduce visibilities leading to blizzard or near blizzard conditions.
Some leftover snow and wind from this system will be in the central Great Lakes and Upper Ohio Valley tomorrow, while the second clipper will begin to dive southward into the Northern Plains.
This second clipper will also bring snow and gusty winds, but will also bring much colder air behind it for mid to late week.
Highs today will range from near zero in northern North Dakota and northern Minnesota to around 50 in southern Kansas and southern Missouri. "

Sarah Palin’s fault
I declare it incumbent on EVERY right thinking American who “claims” to be concerned about his fellow man. At once, those of you who are possessors of the hated SUV’s get out there, start your engines and keep them running. I charge the owners of HUMMERS with the same task.
Without the heat increasing efforts of right minded people, we will see New York and the population centers of the norther tier of the USA under a half mile thick sheet of ice by mid-April. Alert!! Alert!!
GENTLEMEN & LADIES: START YOUR ENGINES
Alberta clippers and lake effect snow are two winter realities I do not miss since moving to Texas........
We’re supposed to have a high of 28 here in NW IL today but by tonight, blizzard conditions, and a high of 2 degrees tomorrow.
I hate winter.
Has anyone seen Algore lately? I could use some gorebal warming about now.
We even went below freezing last night in Baghdad. It is COLD here!
When I got this AM, it was a balmy +18.
You are welcome to the cold air, we have had enough - thank you.
Is it really bad of me to be hoping that this frigid weather (sub zero the rest of the week here in Mid Wisconsin) ends up in Washington DC next Tuesday?
