Youtube user dogsandwolves, known to fans as Frankie, has released a video warning Wisconsin about an imminent winter storm projected to bring wintry weather back to the Midwest.
And it was just starting to get nice out.
According to Frankie, this storm Thursday will drop more than 30 centimeters of snow on Wisconsin, causing blizzard and whiteout conditions and blowing snow.
A transcript from the video is below:
Powerful Storm is on its way for Wisconsin on Thursday February 20, 2014, and the storm will start off as rain then it will change to snow and it will cause Blizzard Conditions and it will also bring 30+ cm of snow and it will also hit Minnesota, and it will cause blowing and drifting snow and whiteout conditions and People in Wisconsin Be Prepared have your Winter Boots, Winter Jackets, Hats, Gloves, Scarfs and Ski Pants Ready and Order your Pizzas and Chinese Food and Buy Cases of Pepsi and Coke and Do your Grocery Shopping Don’t Wait until the Last Minute Do it Right Now and have your iPads, iPods, Cell Phones, Laptops and Tablets Charged and have your 3G and 4G Internet Ready and the winds will be howling and Stormy Conditions on Thursday in Wisconsin and if you have anybody living in Wisconsin Be Prepared for the Powerful storm when you are driving your car slow down and take your time driving your car and Be Careful so you don’t get in the car accident especially on the Interstate Highways and have your Shovels, Snow Scoops, Snow Plows, Snow Blowers and Salt Trucks Ready and it will bring Blowing and Drifting Snow in Wisconsin on Thursday and the Storm will also affect Minnesota and Thunder Bay Ontario too and it will be a very powerful storm in Wisconsin on Thursday.
While Frankie’s claims are certainly sensationalized, they’re not entirely incorrect. According to weather.com, parts of Wisconsin will see up to a foot of snow tomorrow, and while Madison will be on the edges of the storm some accumulation is still forecasted.
So charge those phones, stock up on groceries and start tweeting at @UWMadison for a snow day. God knows I’m not trekking to class in 2 inches of snow.
