  1. The snow has ended here and turned out to be a very nice storm. 5 1/2in is the amount I'm going with, it's quite possible that I have more than that. It's very hard to measure in an open rural area like mine when it's drifted like this. Warsaw, MO about a half hour from my house has 8in reports. Regardless, with the snow combined with record breaking cold this stretch of weather will be talked about for years to come. Oh ya and more snow possible Wednesday, more than enough to make this weather enthusiast happy.

  5. An amazing stat I just worked out for KDSM - which I'am sure is true for many reading this. DEC 20' avg temp was +3.3F 3.3*31= +102.3 Jan 21' avg temp was +3.8F 3.8F*31 = +117.8 sooo--- FEB would need 102.3+117.8 = -220.1 to get to normal Through the 15th- avg temp is -18.7F (compared to normal) -18.7 * 15 = 280.5 so unless something drastically changes- this extreme cold and it's length has completely FLIPPED the winter from running 3.5F above normal to likely 2 below normal when this cold blast wraps up mid to late week. That's amazing.

  8. Wow, with deep snow cover, clear skies, and light winds the temperature is absolutely tumbling out there... wonder if Omaha will have a shot at the all-time record low temperature of -32? We might end up closer than expected at this rate. I noticed the First National Tower downtown went dark tonight to help with the power conservation effort... what a historic arctic outbreak that will be remembered for a long time around a large part of the country.

  10. Thanks! The GRR disco.. .UPDATE... Issued at 1114 AM EST Mon Feb 15 2021 We have not made major changes to our on-going forecast. We are considering upgrading a few counties in the I-69 area to a Winter Storm Warning since it now seems snowfall amounts, gusty winds and low wind chills will all be factors in this storm tonight. We have increased the snowfall amounts around a inch in most places in our CWA. That is the result of most of the recent model guidance is suggesting this. Note too that the last 8 runs, in a row, of the RAP and HRRR have had nearly the same storm total precipitation across our CWA. That would be about 0.6" at JXN, 0.5" at LAN and 0.3" at GRR. The 12z run of the NAM and the HREF are similar to those amounts. This means a 5 to 8 inch snowfall for most of our southern 2/3 of our CWA. It should too that snowfall rates of 1 to 2 inches an hour are expected for 3-5 hours in the I-69 area late tonight, this by itself will cause significant travel issues. Winds of 15 to 25 mph with gusts over 30 will cause significant blowing and drifting of the snow and also cause wind chills to be in the -10 to -20 range. Latest AFD mentions 6-8+ and gusts to 30 mph. Gonna rock it at home and that latest Euro with 12+ for both of us looks awesome! Commute at 11 pm should be interesting to say the least

  12. I've managed to cross the zero degrees threshold so it looks like I won't set any kind of really long consecutive hours stretch below zero. It's been pretty cool to watch the temps jump around real time with the network of Ambient weather stations online on this site: https://ambientweather.net/ I'm zoomed into Omaha and you can see the variance across town. My temperature seems a bit warmer compared to other parts of the city, but there is another station not too far away that's been pretty close to what mine has been reporting. It refreshes every two minutes and has been jumping around by sometimes more than a degree with each 2 minute update! That's where I have my weather station shared to as well: https://ambientweather.net/dashboard/530ccfef4ca30329b2e6d1d76dceeac7 I was sitting at -2.9 at 235p and by 245p I was at 0.9 above zero. Since then it's been going back and forth around -1.5 degrees and has now gone back down to -3.3 degrees. Winter weather temps especially have always fascinated me with the way the temps can jump around so much with the wind, clouds, etc.

  20. Two inches last night before today’s main event. You can see the “snapshot in time” of recent snows (I was able to decipher bc each snow by consistency/weight/shade).

  31. Amounts exceeding 14 inches becoming likely by just tomorrow morning. I don’t think this is supposed to wrap up until Tuesday afternoon, so this could become a top 5’er if everything hits like it looks like it can.

  35. Good morning, so happy to see the models really trended the right way for Jaster, Niko, and all the Mich crew. Currently I have light snow falling with a temp at -6. I got some new accumulation last night, not sure how much with it blowing around. I will muster the courage to get out and measure once it's light out (so cold). Hope my KC friends can pull some snow their way this morning, I've been very lucky, 30 miles to my NW has about half the snow.

  36. Well, KC managed to be the big LOSER again....only a dusting here in my part of KC yesterday. It was so bad that even the sun came out for awhile yesterday afternoon just for fun. I have never been so let down by the model promises of accumulating snow over the last 8 days. Congrats to all that are scoring big with this storm, it's quite impressive what it is doing that far south. After today, Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky and northern Louisiana will have recorded more snowfall this winter then KC. (I just threw up) Nonetheless, what an impressive cold snap this has been. (Tom, you forecasted this, nice job)I believe this will fall in the top 5 here in KC for the coldest 2 week stretch in our history. Set a record low this morning, I dropped to -13 at my house. May hit -20 tonight. RAP model......its trying to give KC 1" of snow this afternoon, COME ON BABY!!

  37. A couple days ago, I noticed the EPS and GEFS members sniffing out the potential of the second part of this storm to produce a more healthy looking storm. It took till yesterday for the models to trend stronger which I was hoping they would and now it is looking likely we will see a classic comma shape look on radar come tomorrow later today. The latest HRRR satellite animation below has that classic winter storm look... @OKwx2k4, there is that Arklatex storm we have been searching for!
