You see that the American and Canadian models have the Twin Cities getting hit hard, but the NAM, European and HRRR models suggest a totally different story with just a few inches in the metro. It really does appear that it"s going to be a close call. American model:Canadian model:European model:NAM model:HRRR model:Below is what the national blend of models shows for snowfall totals. But the problem with this map is that it is based on a snow to liquid ratio of 10 inches of snow for every 1 inch of liquid, and the weather service is expecting the ratio to be more like 13 or 14 inches of snow for every 1 inch of liquid. Thus, the totals on this map would be undercutting actual totals if it turned out to be the case.
