An occluded boundary extends southeastward from the low across the upper Midwest, before connecting to the triple point over Ohio. A warm frontal boundary stretched southeastward from the triple point through the Ohio Valley and banked up to the Appalachians, while a cold front extended southward through the lower Mississippi Valley. A secondary low-pressure system was analyzed in Tennessee with a central pressure of 1000mb (29.53 in Hg). Current surface observations and RADAR depicted scattered light to moderate snow on the backside of the low, extending from the Dakotas through Minnesota and the Upper Midwest, with a more compact area of snow located in Wisconsin on the northern extent of the main axis of heavier precipitation extending from the upper Midwest southward to the Southeast. A transition zone consisting of mixed precipitation and freezing rain was located on an axis stretching from northeastern Michigan southeastward through the eastern two-thirds of the state, and stretching southward through portions of the Appalachian Mountains. In addition, moderate to heavy rainfall was also falling along a north-south axis extending from the Pennsylvania southward through the Ohio Valley and East Coast, excluding higher elevations in the Appalachians. ...Selected preliminary Storm Total Snowfall in inches from 700 AM CST Tue Dec 11 through 800 AM CST Mon Dec 14... ...MINNESOTA...

CHIEF LAKE 5 ENE 0.30 DORCHESTER 0.20 MARSHFIELD 0.20 S PLOVER 0.20 STETSONVILLE 0.10 Scattered light to moderate snow is forecast to continue across the northern High Plains today, with an additional few inches of snow expected as rates intensify on Friday as due to a secondary low that forms over Great Lakes region and retrogrades westward. Additional accumulations of 3-6 inches are expected across the region, with locally higher amounts possible. Winter-related impacts from this storm have and continue to spread northeastward into the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast as an additional secondary low forms across the Southeast. This low will move northeastward along the East Coast, bringing plentiful moisture and winter impacts where temperature profiles allow to interior portions of the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast. Additional freezing rain accretions of 0.25"+ are currently forecast along a narrow portion of Maryland and West Virginia, with a much more broad region stretching from near Buffalo, NY through the Appalachian Mountains of West Virginia and northern Virginia expected to accumulate 0.1"+ inches of ice. Further north, temperature profiles will be cold enough to support accumulating snow across the interior Northeast and New England, with a wide range of snowfall accumulations up to 12-24" possible through the weekend, with the highest totals expected in the higher elevations of upstate New York and New England. As a result of multiple days of snow, blowing snow, and freezing rain across a broad swath of the country, travel may become dangerous or impossible at times, so be sure to refer to WPC or your local NWS office to access the latest forecasts and learn about potential impacts to your area. The next Storm Summary will be issued by the Weather Prediction Center at 900 PM CST. Please refer to your local National Weather Service office for additional information on this event. Genz $$
