The storm is already showing signs of life along the West Coast, as snow and rain is already falling across the Pacific Northwest, adding to their already blockbuster snow season.
“Storm total snowfall will likely be measured in feet for many of the mountain ranges across the West,” the Weather Prediction Center said.
“The coldest storm of the season, and possibly of the last several years is expected to impact southwest Wed-Fri or Sat with showers across coasts and valleys with mainly snow across the mountains and deserts,” the National Weather Service office in. “Snow or graupel may even occur across some elevated valleys!” Graupel refers to snow pellets resembling soft hail.
The heavy snow and extreme cold will move into the Rockies and Midwest as well, where the storm could have its biggest effects. The big problems come in for the second round Wednesday night into Thursday. This is where we could see up to two feet of snow across the Midwest, along with 50 mph wind gusts. Travel will be nearly impossible during this time frame.“If this forecast holds, Blizzard Warnings are likely for the second half of the storm.
