Is this the first one for the 2006 -2007 season that is not in a mountaineous area? If so, congrats.

Quite a storm system coming together for Eastern and Central NOAM this week; a huge Great Plains Low with a tight pressure gradient and accompanying sharp cold front, pulling in a North Atlantic Ocean storm later in the week. Batten down the hatches. :eek:

Looks like the worst will run around Lake Superior, although less so on the east side.

Some areas could get 10 to 16 inches of snow.

Yay i have been hearing that now. They are saying from Wednesday to Friday that some of the Storm totals will range in the 1' + 2' foot range. Just have to wait and see how it turns out but looking like it is going to be a good snowstorm.

Indeed. This type of storm is what they sometimes call a "fresh water fury" on the Great Lakes. Which can be very potent fall gales:
