HWD for snow

***WINTER STORM***

Early winter storm has it eyes on the upper Midwest Sunday night and into Monday...
A Early winter storm is forecasted to form over the CO and then move Northeast into the Great Lakes area....The track of this storm system would place my Northern and Northern Central FA under the gun for accumulating snow....See Forecast below for areas that may get the snow....Still a little early to pinpoints amounts,however looks like 2 to 5 inches are going to be possible....For points North of Balsam Lake to Cameron then over to Bruce...1 to 3 inches may fall from points South of said line...In line from Southern Polk Southern Barron,and Northern Chippewa Counties...Looks to be more rain/snow mix so snowfall totals in these areas could be close to an inch of snow....As it looks right now there is going to be a rather sharp cut off line to the snow...Rice Lake,Cumberland,and Haugen could very well hit the jack pot with 5 inches.. while down in Poskin,Turtle Lake may only see an inch of snow,if there lucky...That just shows how sharp the cut off line is setting up...Nothing is writen in stone just yet,however things are looking better than they did this morning..Thinking of the snow area has not changed at all...Did move up the rain and snow line more North though..Per GFS model..NAM model look rather close with the 540 line also....We will see what tomorrow morning runs show....For now am going to stay the track of this morning's forecast with this HWD....
