Super Bowl Weekend Major Snowstorm

[gabel23]

Lincoln, Nebraska 

 

I actually heard all of the sirens.

 

Koln must be waiting for the live shot, they haven't posted on their website. What night club is that????? Uncle rons???

[Tom]

00z GFS hitting N IL hard with about 1" per hour rates between Noon tomorrow thru midnight Sunday....16-18" totals showing up in Cook county.

Club Q Dance Club.  The scanner for Lincoln is nuts right now 

[Jack Frost]

5??

[Sven]

Building still looks fully involved with over 120 minutes into working fire, defensive attack. No real progress, eventually they are going to have to try and save the front. Still no under control. 

[Jack Frost]

Yes,27th Yankee hill. I work on north side of lincoln and several inches more in south! Again on deck not pavement.

RC, who is one of the forecasters at the NWS Chicago, said on Americanwx that he thinks LOT will issue a blizzard warning for tomorrow. This would definitely be the right decision if the 40 mph+ gusts come to fruition.

[Grizzcoat]

Ratios at DSM which had been 8:1--- just increased to 12:1 this past hour.

LOL I just saw them lower the snow totals for my area based on their graphic from 12-15" to 10-12" ! They should up them per the latest GFS lol.

Close to 3" at my work

This is weird: At 9:30 pm, Hastings said they were contemplating issuing a Winter Storm Warning for their eastern counties, but after consulting with OAX, they decided to leave it a high-end advisory. 30 minutes later they issued a Winter Storm Warning for their eastern counties. I wonder if they (and OAX) had a change of heart?

If that much snow falls by Noon tomorrow...I'll streak down my block in the wind driven snow....haha

[Geos]

0.5" so far. Large flakes have been lacking so far.

LOL... Challenge Accepted 

[FV-Mike]

The radar is amazing to look at. Snow stretches all they way to Colorado!

Looks like OAX just issued a WSW, too!

[WBadgersW]

I actually thought MKE would extend the WSW by now.

Polk county(which is my county), down to Thayer county is the eastern extent for hastings!! Now calling for 6-8" totals; some reports of 5.5" already being reported in saline county.

[Madtown]

Can't believe I have a outside shot at 10, and under a wwa

[WildWisconsinWeather]

I actually thought MKE would extend the WSW by now.

 

Too early to do that I think, it's not clear whether the northern part of the CWA away from the lake will receive enough moisture or heavy enough snow to warrant that.

[Grizzcoat]

OMA radar really getting going----

[james1976]

1.7" so far!! very wet snow.....needle-like flakes. im sitting under 15 dbz's right now. i had to go outside for a few mins to take it in. The great thing is that it will go all day tomorrow.

[NEJeremy]

I was sitting here a few minutes ago when suddenly I hear this weird alarm go off. As i try to figure out where it's coming from, I realize it's my weather radio going off for the newly issued winter storm warning! Nice!

[WBadgersW]

IMO points from Kewaskum South are going to see warning snows. Looking at past similar events, Sheboygan, Ozaukee, Washington, and Waukesha usually always see LES.

Take pictures....well maybe not!!

[Maxim]

lol... I still don't know what "air force method" is

[winterfreak]

Snowing in KC finally.

[Tom]

Snowing in KC finally.

Nice, so that means that pretty much everyone on this sub-forum will see some accumulating snow fall.  How often does that happen???  Not very often.  Wondering how much you get down there.

[Tom]

Sitting at 0.75"...at this rate, will probably see 3-4" by 7:00am....after that, the real actions begins...going to hit the sack early and prob get up around 7ish to enjoy the snowfall during the day light hours.  See ya guys manana!

Not so sure, based on hi-res models they are mostly showing lakeside counties from MKE south with the enhanced precip likely caused by lake effect/enhancement being detected.

[jcwxguy]

must have under estimated before, measured 4.5" here at my work in lincoln

[WildWisconsinWeather]

Some better banding coming in right now, I wish I didn't work tomorrow and could stay up, but oh well.

[Geos]

Getting close to an inch now with medium sized flakes falling.

 

Latest RUC run pushing the 12-18" area more further up the coast.

How does weather affect everything? Currently Lincoln (NE) Fire and Rescue has no one available for the entire city. College town, similar to Madison or Champagne. Many personal injury wrecks, normally not a problem right? How about a 4 alarm nightclub fire. Stay safe. http://i.imgur.com/Lfeep4A.jpg

Just got out of a movie at the Marcus grande and saw this thing omw back. The Q 'karma' is done for. It's a g*y club, but i got a lot of girls numbers there and i won 250 bucks there for a strip contest lol so that sucks it's gone.

 

About 5" imby per measuring at 1030. That was a hell of a drive, so many cars on the ditch on the interstate. we've done well with banding on the north side of the city.
