Additionally, if you read last night's blog post by me, you probably saw mention of how we had an image to show you and the system wasn't working to actually let me post it. Here it is - and it shows snowfall totals computer models thought we'd see Sunday from YESTERDAY (keep that in mind, as things have changed a lot in 24 hours):
Look at all the snow the models thought we'd be getting! Now, it remains to be seen just how much we'll get and maybe we'll be looking back at this slide come Monday, but here's what the latest computer model forecast puts us at for the region:
Notice how the bulk of the snow has now shifted about 100-200 miles toward the South. If this model pans out we'd *maybe* pick up 1-2 inches of snow. It seems iffy. This system is more of a conglomeration of a few different smaller systems - so if they don't all come together just right we might only see a few scattered snow showers. If they all come together right - watch out.Have a great night and bundle up! I'll be moving to a new apartment tomorrow in the cold & wind, so I'll know what's going on pretty well by the time I get in to work.

I have a question: How accurate are those snowfall maps you guys keep posting? I've seen them posted on your blog before but I haven't actually cross-checked to see if they come out right.
That's a great question:
I would say in response to "how accurate are the maps?" that they are fairly accurate. When snowfall totals are needed in a rough, non-detailed manner, you can probably check out those maps that we like to post. When you want to know exactly where the heaviest snow will fall, how much, and when - that's when you need to make sure you're paying close attention to our weather on TV, and we'll likely mention more detail than just what's shown on that map on our weather blog and station's weather page as well. Hopefully that answers your question!
Feel free to post any questions you might have for our KDLT weather team!
