5:13PM: An interesting feature of the ongoing storm activity in the Southeast for the second weeeekend in a row is the absence of precipitation in the northern Plains. It’s cold, but it’s cold on top of a half inch of snow in some places. No changes in the near future, either.

9:57PM: OK, I take it back a little bit. There might be an additional quarter to half inch in some places tonight, particularly in Minnesota. And, actually, it will ride a warm front, so temperatures might be livable tomorrow. Melt some ice.
