12z GFS has come in stronger and juicer.  Question is, will this give the "Middle Finger" to OMA or not???

 

Very tight gradient with this system...snow extends out to those in S IA who have been starved by snow.

Sharp cut off is an understatement......I'm one county away from 6+. Gonna need to get lucky with this one.

Too bad it wants to shaft the southern part of the state where most of the poster peeps are... :(

Nada for us...as usual. Keep the streak going my friend!

 

Looks like plenty if you live in EPA through SNE - winter just getting started in JB Land ;)

Looks like the biggest snow of the season may be on tap for Grizz/Toasted???

Question for you Tom.......a fellow teacher of mine always brings up the fact that the Platte river tends to control the path of storms. The snow line is following the platte river. I'm a big believer in that the body of water just isn't big enough to play a part in weather like a lake would. What's your opinion on it??? I'm intrigued on anybody's opinion because I'll tell you what......I have seen some strange things happen with it.

You know, I've never thought about that before. IMO, I don't think the Platte River would influence storm tracks. I think it's a local folklore or something along those lines. Interesting question though.

heaviest snow is definitely staying north of Omaha with the current band. I don't see how we get much tonight. There is supposed to be a second burst that comes through early in the morning tomorrow but I have a bad feeling about this amounting to anything more than an inch or two here in Omaha.

 

03Z HRRR keeps upping the totals here and now has 5-6" across Omaha.

To much dry air in place at OMA - typical!

I have chosen to keep quiet on this one. Hoping that my quiet streak means our biggest snowstorm of the season. Of course, now that I have spoken, I just probably jinxed myself even being just two hours before the start!

Looks like those heavier returns are making a beeline for DSM...should be rippin' pretty good tonight for a bit.  Might actually cover the grass tips with this one!
