Minny_Weather Posted April 5, 2018 Report Share Posted April 5, 2018 I'm not willing to die by the NAM quite yet. It's the only real model consistently showing dry air screwing us over. At this point, we still have Euro, GFS, HRRR, and RAP all on our side. At least in Lincoln (Sorry Craig & Jeremy).

Minny_Weather Posted April 5, 2018 Report Share Posted April 5, 2018 Sooooo 18z NAM throws us a major curveball that I wouldn’t be disappointed with here in Omaha!!Meh. I'd be happier with higher amounts on Friday than Sunday. At least tomorrow the snow would stick around the entire day into Saturday. Sunday whatever falls that day is gonna instantly go away as skies clear later on and/or ptype flips to rain. 1 Quote Formerly *ahem*: LNK_Weather, TOL_Weather, FAR_Weather, MSP_Weather, IMoveALot_Weather.

CentralNebWeather Posted April 6, 2018 Report Share Posted April 6, 2018 I saw on Ken Siemek’s twitter page (channel 10/11 meteorologist from Lincoln) that he thinks dry air being pulled in from the east will limit snowfall in Lincoln and eastern Nebraska and most accumulation will be west of Lincoln towards central and western Nebraska. Who knows. I hope those that want snow get it. Ready for spring here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaster220 Posted April 6, 2018 Report Share Posted April 6, 2018 I know that this snow and cold weather of the last few weeks has caused havoc with the scheduling of sports activities. Our school was supposed to participate in the following activities on Friday, all have been rescheduled: track meet, golf meet, soccer games, tennis meet. Our AD said in his 20 years of his athletic administration, he doesn't remember a stretch of time that so many activities have been postponed, cancelled, or rescheduled. Example, our soccer team has played 1 game in the last 16 days. He also said trying to find enough indoor spaces for practices for the activities has been difficult. My daughter was on the HS tennis squad from 2013-2016. All but her senior year were miserable cold and snowy springs here in SMI. We can relate! And there's really no such thing as a girl's "cold wx uniform". They were issued one skimpy uniform meant only for summer conditions. Wasn't too much fun for dad either. To spectate was to freeze. I do miss her playing tho Quote Winter 2023-24 Snow Total = 53.1" (90% Normal Season) Largest Storm: 12" (1/12-13) Oct: 0.1 Nov: 2.9 Dec: 7.5 Jan: 31.7 Feb: 6.0 Mar: 4.3 Apr: 0.1 Avg = 59.2" (Harrison): 2023-24 = 53.1" Avg = 45.0" (KDTW): 2022-23 = 33.5" 2021-22 = 35.6" Avg = 49.7" (KRMY): 2020-21 = 36.2" 2019-20 = 48.0" 2018-19 = 56.1" 2017-18 = 68.3" 2016-17 = 52" 2015-16 = 57.4" 2014-15 = 55.3" 2013-14 = 100.6" (coldest & snowiest in the modern record!) 2012-13 = 47.2" 2011-12 = 43.7" Legit Blizzards (high winds and dbl digit snows): Feb 2011, Dec 2009, Jan 2005, Dec 2000, Jan 1999, Mar 1998, Nov 1989, Jan 1982, Jan 1978, Jan 1977, Apr 1975, Mar 1973, Jan 1967, Feb 1965, Jan 1918 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No activities tomorrow or Saturday so it can snow and be cold for a few more days. You’re right about the skimpy uniforms, I think they are a little ridiculous. Companies obviously see a trend I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minny_Weather Posted April 6, 2018 Report Share Posted April 6, 2018 One last middle finger before Spring kicks in! It's fairly annoying how this whole season there has never been one solid blob of snow on radar here. It's all been thin lines that have dropped a quick 1-2 inches. At least the pixie dust will be pleasant to look at. 1 Quote Formerly *ahem*: LNK_Weather, TOL_Weather, FAR_Weather, MSP_Weather, IMoveALot_Weather.

Minny_Weather Posted April 6, 2018 Report Share Posted April 6, 2018 Lightly snowing, radar looks like . I think we've reached our daily high so let's hope radar turns better. If we'd gotten as much snow this year as we've gotten dry air during storms, we'd be looking at another 2009-10. 31.3°F.

CentralNebWeather Posted April 6, 2018 Report Share Posted April 6, 2018 Hastings backing off totals today. Not surprising with how the models were drying up last night. Just cold and windy, yuck.

CentralNebWeather Posted April 6, 2018 Report Share Posted April 6, 2018 I get to hear it from the teachers lounge, "where's the snow"? I tried to explain about the dry air, but they said we changed all of the schedules for nothing. NWS Hastings is saying all models have reduced snow, and the WWA may expire early if little or no snow falls. Most places will struggle to get to an inch imo, unless a quick burst comes through. I am not complaining for my area, but many areas have been missed time after time. Just add one more notch in the belt of misses or non events this season.

At this rate we might make it to an inch by noon. 95% pixie dust with breaks of no snow and every once in a while we get a couple minutes of maybe dime size flakes. Weak sauce.

CentralNebWeather Posted April 6, 2018 Report Share Posted April 6, 2018 I might have to revise my total down. Hasn’t snowed in over an hour now in the persistent dry spot I’ve been stuck inAs the radar shows the snow moving southeast, it just fizzles out when it hits I-80. I am about 15 miles south of the interstate. The dry air has definitely put the kabosh on this system. I sure hope the storm late next weekend could be one of the dynamic spring storms with severe weather, and possible blizzard conditions on the northwest side of it. Those are fun to track. Been awhile since we have had one of those storms around here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
