We’ve seen storms over-hyped before, but this one feels pretty solid. Take this assessment from Paul Huttner, author of MPR’s Updraft blog: “It\u2019s tempting to wiggle and obfuscate in winter snows, but I\u2019m paid to make a call. Right now 8\u2033 to 16\u2033 is my forecast snowfall range for the metro, with heaviest totals favoring the north metro.”<\/p>\n

And here’s the Winter Storm Warning from NOAA:<\/p>\n

“A POTENT STORM SYSTEM WILL BRING SIGNIFICANT SNOWFALL TO MUCH OF
\nCENTRAL MINNESOTA AND WEST CENTRAL WISCONSIN. OVER 6 INCHES OF
\nSNOW WILL FALL ALONG AND NORTH OF A LINE FROM CANBY TO GLENCOE TO
\nHASTINGS IN MN…INCLUDING THE TWIN CITIES METRO…THROUGH EAU
\nCLAIRE WI. THE HEAVIEST SNOW WILL FALL ALONG A LINE FROM MADISON
\nTO LITCHFIELD TO ANOKA IN MN<\/strong> THROUGH RICE LAKE WI…WHERE 12 TO 18
\nINCHES ARE POSSIBLE…ESPECIALLY IN WESTERN WI.” (emphasis mine)<\/p>\n

And, finally, the National Weather Service graphic:<\/p>\n
