@ingalls - that makes sense to me. I don't work in energy - just weather as well so I'm sort of wrapping around what it might mean. I have a friend who works in weather/energy for TVA and he may have more insight.

Thanks!

@ingalls - Looks like it's going to be a cold couple of weeks ahead too! Will that continue to affect price, or is that already being built in?

There are going to be a lot of travel trouble spots out west today, but I-80 in Wyoming will be the worst of them starting this afternoon/evening.

The snow totals aren't crazy like Donner Pass this weekend - close to 12" on I-80's higher levels, but the winds that come in afterwards are going to be 60mph+....all the way through early Thursday.

Go around. Don't get stuck on I-80 at Elk Mountain or Sherman Pass.

@ingalls - Neat! I love it when the snow gets that low by the coast.

Good morning for your #RoadWeather forecast.

Yes, even with 77in (1.96m!) of snow measured in Orchard Park NY over the weekend the interstates are all open across the US.

Only hiccups to this week's travel forecast will be some potential freezing rain w/ mountains snow on I-90 in Washington, with snow moving down I-84 into Oregon and Idaho Wednesday for a couple of inches there, too.

Good morning with your US #RoadWeather. Ice on the roads this morning on I-80 in Wyoming at Sherman Hill, I-84 in Oregon at Deadmans Pass, and then snow and ice cover for a lot of I-90 and I-94 in the Dakotas and Montana.

Most of that was pretty light stuff (heavier in Wyoming) but all is moving out today and the sun will be out.

But the real story is developing further east with Lake Effect Snows taking hold. Conneaut OH saw snowfall rates of up to 3" (7.5cm) per HOUR last night in the heaviest band for a couple hours. I-90 is defacto closed there due to accidents. Similar snow in west central Michigan, though about half the snow totals

That initial blast cools off, but sets up with a different windward direction tonight. Buffalo New York will be expecting an area of greater than 4 FEET (1.2m) of snow through this weekend in one area, and a widespread area of up to 2 ft. (0.6m). Similar snowfall for Watertown NY area.

Full truck restrictions are in place for I-90 starting at 4pm tonight and continuing indefinitely. Last time they got this much snow, I-90 was closed about 4 days. NYDOT appears much more prepared this time, but we'll see what actually happens. You just can't physically move that much snow - especially once a few cars get stuck.

#weather #LakeEffectSnow

Good snowy morning to much of the U.S. Snow is widespread for many of the Great Lakes States, but really only seeing it affect the roads in a few select cities this morning - Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Chicago and Denver.

For the most part roads are in good shape this morning, and we'll see a couple more inches of snow in the heaviest bands.

Switches to some Lake Effect snow tomorrow for South Bend IN and Erie PA, and then a mix of some freezing rain for the higher peaks of the central Appalachians tomorrow, and snow from Pennsylvania on up through New York and New England. Similar impact expected as today.

#RoadWeather #LakeEffect

Good morning east of the Rockies in Colorado and New Mexico. Snow is on the road on I-25 in southern CO this AM, and moving east and south through Western KS, the Oklahoma Panhandle and the Texas Panhandle.

3-6" of snow expected on I-40 in W. Oklahoma, as this cold front meets more saturated air and spins up a more intense low (a 'Panhandle hooker'). More modest snowfall expected elsewhere.

WSSI showing a moderate impact expected and outlines I-35 south of OKC as well. Going to see the system split somewhat with NW Arkansas hit with one lobe and Kansas City and norther MIssouri taking the other.

Expect additional advisories potentially expanding at the 3pm updates - and new issued for Pennsylvania/upstate New York for tomorrow.
