Keep yer head down.

We're supposed to get some actual honest-to-goodness rain down here later in the week.

Be careful out there, everyone.

I hope you have plenty of yummy supplies on hand.

Well, since I started the diet I'm left with just pickles on the menu.

This storm is really going to pack a nasty punch for alot of the TE'ers here. The storm cell is HUGE!! Doggie people get your chill pills ready. It's going to get nasty tomorrow night.

but a small tornado outbreak is possible as well.

Spring is here finally!

Wow. I'll quit complaining about my 2-3 inches of new snow and some mild winds. You guys take care of yourselves out there!

[Tuckervill]

I'm predicting it's going to slide on by to the North!

So far we have a wind advisory in our area.

Here's what Weather Channel is reporting for Tuesday:

7:08 am ET
What's on tap for Tuesday:

Dakotas, Minnesota blizzard

A fierce winter storm will track through the northern Plains and Upper Midwest today. It will go on to produce snow amounts of a foot or more for the worst hit areas, powerful wind gusts, near-zero visibility and wicked, life-threatening wind chills. This is no doubt the big weather story of the day and what "Today in Weather" will follow throughout the day providing current conditions that stand out, storm reports and webcam visuals.

Severe weather in Missouri, Illinois

The same storm system responsible for the blizzard will also be responsible in producing severe weather. A powerful cold front will push southeast into northeastern Missouri and northwestern Illinois. Storms will break out during the mid-afternoon hours and will quickly gain supercell characteristics capable of spawning tornadoes and large, damaging hail. As the afternoon turns into the evening hours, the threat will shift from tornadoes to damaging wind gusts as the storm become more linear in nature.

Midwest heavy rain

Yet again, more rain with embedded thunderstorms will soak the Midwest - the same regions doused with heavy rains over the weekend. One to two inches will soak an area from northeast Iowa to southern Michigan and northwest Ohio. Some localized areas will pick up more than 2.5 inches. This will enable already flooding rivers to push over to moderate or even major flooding status.

Are there any TE'ers in MN here?

Are there any TE'ers in MN here?

Not in MN but in ND

BUT I am in the right part of ND for a change we are just getting the windchills and a little snow.

Urlea is in the SE part of the state that is supposed to get hit the hardest.

We can survive a blizzard and low windchills w/o difficulty

But my prayers go out to everyone else at risk of tornados and flooding.

Puleeeeese Spring hurry up and get here!
