Blizzard Recap - More Snow On The Way For Some

Good afternoon. Our blizzard is behind us now, but wow, it was incredible. Some areas saw thunder, lightning, and snow all at the same time. (Known as thunder-snow) The snowfall rates were just amazing with areas getting 2-3" per hour yesterday morning. Most of the snow fell in a 7-8 hour period, and check out the snowfall totals across the state from this storm..

Some areas had more snow with this storm alone than the total for all last winter. For more details on the incredible blizzard, check out this detailed recap from the NWS... http://www.crh.noaa.gov/ind/?n=dec262012snow

MORE SNOW ON THE WAY? A southern storm system is expected to bring some moisture to state tomorrow night into early Saturday. Models are trending farther north with this system, along with more moisture, but NOT ANYTHING like the major storm we just had. Here is my first guess on potential snow totals, I will update this tomorrow.

Most of the models are in agreement now on the system, but how far north, how much moisture, and if rain could mix with the snow south are questions that will be answered tomorrow. 

Thanks for reading, have a great night!
