This wave seems to be just crawling along and not in any hurry which could be good as long as it holds together. 

 

Gonna step on the gas over our way tho as the S stream gets picked up by the 120kt LLJ (nothing comes easy this winter, eh?)

I was expecting 1-1.5" from this system, but now models are backing off.  I may get up to a half inch.

season snowfall: 34.8"

'22-23: 30.2"      '21-22: 27.1"      '20-21: 52.5"      '19-20: 36.2"      '18-19: 50.2"      '17-18: 39.5"

Average snowfall: ~30"

This dry slot sure is magical.

 

It's weakening too it looks like. I think we'll get an inch out of it. Truly think that Lincoln has a storm deflector. I really don't see any conclusive evidence to show otherwise anymore. Just look at radar, heavy stuff picks up around York, gets through Seward, and it vanishes. Not like this has happened once, it's happened almost EVERY single storm I can remember here, severe wx included. I don't understand.

Pouring snow here right now, we have been under a moderate band of snow for that past hour or so. I measured around an inch at home an hour ago, I expect to see another couple inches easily. Quiet the nice surprise!! 

 

You remember the Geos snow magnet? In terms of Nebraska, that's you my man. Congrats, you've been killin it this year so far. I wish this D**n thing would fill in, it's comical that it's not snowing here but it's snowing in every other direction.

watch the heavier returns constantly disappear as they approach Omaha. I doubt we hit 1/2" at this rate. At least I won't have to shovel two nights in a row!

For a snowlover, you sure seem to enjoy seeing that happen!

If I lived in NebraskaWX territory I'd be nervous af. Northern edge of the band is trying to move SE. I'm feeling fine where I am.

 

Edit: I was ignorant for posting the part I crossed out. I said that just basing it off Hastings radar. Looks fine on OAX radar.

I'd say we got about 3/4" here. That snow band sagged overtop of us earlier for quite awhile. Hopefully this thing doesn't fizzle, but I don't see us getting more than 1.5" here. I can't tell if I should be excited looking at radar or disappointed, it's like dying but filling in so who knows.

It's not dying. Hastings radar shows this being awesome actually.

Just went for a walk. 1" is down on the sidewalks right now. No roads have been plowed as of yet. I saw a near-accident on my walk. Someone turned right on red when someone wasn't that far away from the intersection.

LOT Discussion:

The fairly impressive instability juxtaposed with the strong mid level f-gen band raise
concerns about a window of potential heavy snow late this evening
near and especially just south of I-80. Concerned that snowfall
rates could briefly reach an inch or so per hour. Have sharpened
up the snowfall forecast for tonight with a narrow band of 2-4"
now from far southern LaSalle and far northern Livingston county
to central/southern Lake Co IN.

Nice! Now that's the kind of update I like to see! Some SR models want to reach 4" in parts of SMI as well. This should be waaaayyyy more impressive for Marshall than last night

I have the same amounts (2-4"). Lets see if they will overperform. Somehow I knew this would trend stronger. :D

Down to light pixie dust so I went ahead and took my final measurement. My measurements ranged from 1.5" and 2". There were more 2" amounts, so I'm gonna go ahead and say I got 1.8" here. Roads still aren't plowed, Lincoln is so efficient. That would make my total for this 3-day nickel and dime event 4.1". Depths were anywhere from 3" to 4" depending on where I measured. Remember that disturbed areas from Sunday's event got nothing otg, while undisturbed got up to 1.5". Grass is covered everywhere. Let's keep our temps down on Thursday and prep for what will hopefully be a big event this weekend!
