3/28 - 3/30 Plains/Lower GL's Spring Storm System

Nightmare driving 75 to 36. Add in the rain and people are just driving me nuts. It took 3 hours to get to St. Joe

I took that detour Monday morning to get from Omaha to Columbia, MO for work and then to get back home on Tuesday evening, it was bad enough with almost ideal weather conditions. The rain had to make it almost unbearable.

Not pleasant, all the semi traffic and people not used to driving rural highways.

Only 0.27" of rain here last eve. CR probably got at least half an inch, is my guess. Grass was greening a bit here and this should help some more.

I think we got flakes around 0600 this morning but I'm not 100% sure. Nothing OTG which I expected.

We got about 2” of snow overnight mainly on the grass. A lot of melting last evening as it was falling cut down on amounts. Though I did see North Platte got 6” and Broken Bow got 5”.

Not even close.  The bright-banding on radar was misleading.  I only picked up 0.21" of rain.

 

The Burlington/Keokuk area was the bullseye.

Crazy how much rain we were looking at potentially just a few days ago. Just got 0.04” yesterday in total. Honestly, wasn’t even sure we would get any there for a while.

[Madtown]

nothing here...rain or snow!

[Stormhunter87]

At my parents in central Missuori and just changed to gropple with some thunder. Edit: Some fat flakes mixed in.

[Stormhunter87]

Now complete snow! And snowing a good clip

[Stormhunter87]

Grass is covered and it's going nuts here. Huge flakes. Edit: Better photo.

[Stormhunter87]

One more these flakes are a quarter or bigger. Biggest I've seen in a bit.

Ended up with .32" of rain and just a few flakes mixed in. I'm at 4.08" of moisture this month with only about 3.5" of snow.

Yeah I knew they got 1"-2" in far se Ia. Must of been the lower PWATS up north reducing rainfall amounts. I've noticed in prior years when pwats are high, bright banding like last eve would've been pouring rain! Radar estimates for that Linn county band were way off , & I guessed wrong even if I went by the lowest end of radar estimate. Estimates down here aren't that far off.

Temps have been dropping all day long amid brisk NE winds. Current temp of 37F with some light lake effect flurries flying.

Seems like a lot of trees for Ole Nebraska!

Was at my parents place in central Missuori.

The Eastern sliver of Nebraska around the Missouri and Platte rivers is actually forested. You don't really get to stereotypical Nebraska until you're West of Lincoln.
