Another quick post since NFL Sunday is still in progress... The "wintry weather" we were forecast overnight didn't occur... Points to the west and to the east did see some snow, however I haven't heard of any significant accumulations.

We're under the gun once again Monday and Tuesday, as an unusually potent Alberta Clipper swings southeast through the Northern Plains and Upper Midwest. A Winter Storm Watch has been issued and is valid from Monday afternoon through Tuesday afternoon:

"A POTENT STORM SYSTEM MOVING INTO THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP LOW PRESSURE OVER SASKATCHEWAN EARLY MONDAY. THIS STORM SHOULD MOVE TO SOUTHERN MINNESOTA BY TUESDAY MORNING. A PROLONGED PERIOD OF SNOW IS FORECAST TO DEVELOP ACROSS NORTHEAST NORTH DAKOTA AND NORTHWEST MINNESOTA MONDAY AND CONTINUE INTO TUESDAY. THE SNOW WILL BE ACCOMPANIED MONDAY NIGHT AND TUESDAY BY WINDS OF 25 TO 35 MPH WITH HIGHER GUSTS. 4 TO 8 INCHES OF SNOW ARE POSSIBLE BY TUESDAY AFTERNOON ALONG AND NORTH OF THE U.S. HIGHWAY 2 CORRIDOR."
