Strange Storm

If anyone is wondering why I have been so quiet about our "snow storm" for this weekend has to do to mainly with the fact that I don't really understand it! It is the first time I have heard of a NORLIN Trough, which is what will bring a heavy band of snow to SOME area tomorrow but I do not know where or really more importantly, I don't know why.

That being said, I don't think it is a big hit for us. As mentioned, a heavy band of snow will develop because of atmospheric anomalies and where ever that 30-60 mile wide band is, heavy snow will follow. Towns in that band could receive close to a foot. Us? Maybe a few inches at best. The latest forecast totals are below.

This should make it clear to everyone however that the science of meteorology has a long way to go in the area of small scale forecasting.
