What seems like the first widespread, significant snowfall of the season is finally here in February for much of the state. Snow starts overnight tonight, continues Wednesday ending Wednesday evening. Highest snowfall southern into central Iowa. #iawx

Wednesday - Wednesday night may be Chicago's heaviest snowstorm of the season, so far. That's a pretty low bar. O'Hare's heaviest calendar-day snowfall this season was one week before Thanksgiving...only 2.9 inches.

Textbook "ground blizzard" conditions, behind a powerful Siberian cold front.
The polar vortex brought extremely cold weather to Inner Mongolia, with the lowest temperature approaching -40 degrees Celsius and strong winds of 20 to 30 m/s.

Four #winter storms in seven days into next week. Here's some perspective on how unusual that is. (Spoiler: It's not.)

15 years ago today kicked off the first of the "Snowmageddon" mid-Atlantic snowstorms which buried Washington, Baltimore and Philly. It was also a launching point for social media and #weather coverage.

JMA data suggests this Hokkaido snowfall rate is the most in records dating to the mid-1980s. And this sea-effect snow may last through the weekend, at least. GFX kudos: @TropicalTidbits
