Don't put those shovels away just yet folks! - February 7, 2018

Temperature: 6°F
Wind: W 2 mph
Clouds: Mostly Cloudy

As the storm moved across the Midwest and Plains overnight, a light dust of snow covered the cars this morning. To my knowledge, it looked to be about an inch of snow that I had to wipe off my car before work.

Right now the largest part of the snow storm is hitting the Northwest. Winter Storm Liam is bringing a mix of snow, sleet, ice, and rain throughout the day. Many areas already iced are causing crashes and dangerous travel conditions. 

But the snow is not over. More snow is expected to venture to the Midwest this weekend. The energy within the southern arcing dip of the jet stream will bring snow from Montana to Maine. But another system will travel from the Rockies to the Midwest.
