That hrrr is way south of nam.

Im getting heavy snow right. Its very wet. Sticking to everything. I would enjoy this much more if i didnt have to go to Des Moines today!

[gosaints]

Coming down good

Coming down good

 

you're gonna get hit good 

[james1976]

30dbz moving into my backyard

[gosaints]

you're gonna get hit good 

Best guess judging by radar is the best hit might be just south of here, but still should do ddecent here

[gosaints]

I am in rushford 30 miles southeast of my house.  It is ripping here now  easily best snow of the season

[Tom]

Nice surprise snow that developed over the past couple days, esp those near OMA...I think a lof ppl may escape from losing their snow pack if those higher totals end up transpiring and also it being a wetter snow.

[james1976]

2" here already...huge flakes...32 degrees.

[Money]

Radar looks really nice in Iowa.

 

Hopefully some of that heads up here later today.

You are just west of waterloo?

[james1976]

Im thinking a few counties get upgraded to a warning. Nice event

[jaster220]

Radar just exploding with moisture returns (RN n SN), looking like last min trends are positive - maybe making up for last weekend's last min fails. Enjoy out west peeps, looks like a "dab'll do ya" for mby. Only NAM wants to give me any more & GRR ain't biting.

[james1976]

Yeah about 30 miles w/nw....10 miles north of highway 20

Barely a dusting here in OMA, stuck to the grass but the streets are just wet.

Looks like we'll get another burst here within the hour, but it's 36*.  

[gosaints]

huge fatties now.

HRRR continues to increase snow amounts in WI.

 

Large area of 3-4 inch snows now showing up in western/central WI

I have to go to Des Moines today too haha. Bad timing! But I don't leave til later so I should be able to enjoy most of this sytem.

[james1976]

Really let up here.....and its 33 degrees. Prolly losing some of accumulation already. Might be impossible to get a legit total.

Ya craptastic thermals gonna hold back totals

[james1976]

Using my deck table.....lost a tenth or two so I cleaned it off and its all wet underneath. Figures!

[james1976]

Enjoy it James!  I know you missed out on some snow systems this month bc you had been traveling.

 

My largest event so far this year is 4". I did miss out on that due to traveling, otherwise I have been home for the other events......should be able to enjoy most of this one as well.

[CentralNebWeather]

Enjoy. All we had was ice covering everything again. That is now twice in one week.

[CentralNebWeather]

Now it is sleeting and 32 degrees on top of a layer of ice. Very slick conditions.

[james1976]

Heavy band setting up just to my w/nw. That might be jackzone......last hrrr was showing this.

[Tom]

Looks like the NAM/GFS/EURO got this one right 2+ days out...

[NEJeremy]

Ha, what a joke! The back end band that was going to give us one more shot, basically fell apart before hitting us. Everything's just wet and brown again. More development to my southwest, but that will probably just be rain now that temps have warmed.

[james1976]

Ceilings really lowered last few mins with snowballs again. still 33

[james1976]

Solid 3" finally

[gosaints]

Rip city in the good band. Glad I am not at home as the 30 miles southeast location here making a big difference

 

This is 1/4 mile visibilty stuff
