The models are starting to agree on the potential for a major winter storm over parts of Oklahoma, Kansas and the southern two thirds of Missouri - with many of the models recently shifting towards the GFS solution, which paints more than a foot of snow for many of these regions. From what I gather, those areas to the south that don't pick up large snow totals may be facing the threat of accumulating ice - which never brings any good.
That said, I don't think anybody really knows where the line of heavy snow is going to station itself - a day ago, the GFS painted the majority of snowfall over the Texas panhandle and all of Oklahoma - at this point it seems to want to place the majority over parts of Missouri, and has an inclination to move the snow slightly further north with every run. I suppose that has to do with how far north the warm air wedge makes it.
