Snow storm!!!

Wowzers! Never seen a Mesoscale discussion for KC in winter before!! N THE NEAR TERM…COLUMN HAS QUICKLY SATURATED ACROSS WRN MO/ERN KS IN THE PRESENCE OF STRONG LIFT AND WEAK STATIC STABILITY. MODERATE TO HEAVY SNOW CONTINUES TO INCREASE IN COVERAGE AND WILL YIELD IMPRESSIVE SNOW RATES THROUGH THE BALANCE OF THE AFTERNOON. LARGE AREA OF SLANTWISE INSTABILITY PER EQUIVALENT POTENTIAL VORTICITY CROSS SECTIONS WILL PERSIST THROUGH 00Z…AND WARRANTS MENTION OF ISOLATED THUNDERSNOW THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE AFTERNOON. SNOWFALL RATES OF 1 INCH PER HOUR CAN BE EXPECTED…SEVERELY IMPACTING THE AFTERNOON COMMUTE. WARM ADVECTION WILL REMAIN FOCUSED ALONG THE MISSOURI RIVER THIS EVENING…WITH THE MOST PROLIFIC SNOW BAND BECOMING MORE WEST-EAST ORIENTED WITH TIME AS AREA BECOMES WELL ALIGNED WITH THE RIGHT ENTRANCE REGION TO THE DEPARTING 120 KNOT JET STREAK. MAXIMUM VERTICAL VELOCITIES JUXTAPOSED WITHIN THE DENDRITIC -10 TO -12C SWEET SPOT SHOULD LEAD TO FAIRLY IMPRESSIVE SNOWFALL ACCUMULATIONS THROUGH THE EVENING DESPITE SURFACE TEMPERATURES IN THE TEENS. HAVE MADE NO CHANGES TO THE WARNING/ADVISORY HEADLINES…WITH A SOLID 6 TO 8 INCHES EXPECTED ALONG THE MISSOURI RIVER WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS CERTAINLY POSSIBLE WHERE CONVECTIVE BANDING MAY OCCUR THROUGH EARLY THIS EVENING. SNOW WILL BEGIN TO TAPER FROM NW TO SE AFTER MIDNIGHT…ENDING ACROSS CENTRAL MO BY MID MORNING THURSDAY

It reads like a lawyer wrote it....I have'nt seen that many $ 10.00 words in quite a while! "SLANTWISE INSTABILITY PER EQUIVALENT POTENTIAL VORTICITY CROSS SECTIONS WILL PERSIST" or better yet "MAXIMUM VERTICAL VELOCITIES JUXTAPOSED WITHIN THE DENDRITIC -10 TO -12C SWEET SPOT" how about one more "HIGHER AMOUNTS CERTAINLY POSSIBLE WHERE CONVECTIVE BANDING MAY OCCUR". YIKES!!!!!

So when I arrive in KC will I be able to get from the airport to Oklahoma Joes for an order of Burnt Ends...or will the 120 knot Jet Stream block my dinner. MMMMMM, Oklahoma Joe's!! Still snowing good here. A solid 5" and counting. Just got a report that the storm is backing up.
