Anyone else noticing the weird #stagnant #weather pattern over #NorthAmerica over the past week? The nearly stationary #LowPressure systems over the #NorthernPlains states and in the #PacificOcean off of the #WesternCanada #BritishColumbia area? No west to east movement anywhere? WTF? There appear to be #HighPressure blocks up and down the #US west coast and southeast extending out into the #Atlantic #Caribbean waters? One big continental hemispheric convergence zone? #Weird.

Major #WinterStorm to bring heavy snow and an icy wintry mix to much of the northern U.S. next week

• A major winter storm will spread a large swath of heavy snow from the West Coast to the #UpperMidwest Monday through Thursday of next week.

• The combination of heavy snow and gusty winds will likely result in widespread hazardous travel and cause impacts to infrastructure.

• While subtle shifts in storm track are possible, confidence is increasing that this winter storm will be extremely disruptive in affected areas.

• Very cold temperatures are likely from the #WestCoast into the #NorthernPlains behind this system, with record lows possible. The potential also exists for a flash freeze in portions of the northern #Rockies on Tuesday.

• Additionally, a heavy wintry mix of snow, sleet, and freezing rain may impact the #GreatLakes and #Northeast later next week. /ID]

Incredible video from Clay County Iowa Sheriff Chris Raveling!!! He says it’s pretty bad out there and recommends no travel. Clay county is pulling plows from the road now. The snow drifts as fast as they can plow it. #blizzard #iowa #northernplains
