  1. Here in KC, we are still struggling to get above freezing for a high, getting close though. Its been 14 days since we have been above 32 degrees. The FEB. sun angle is still going to work on the snow pack. Plenty of melting going on and we should be snow free by sometime later this weekend or for sure on Monday. What a beautiful run of winter weather, likely the best I have seen in KC ever or at least in a long while. Heck, all lakes in MO froze over shore to shore, I don;t think that has happened in 10+ years. Maybe longer... Here in KC, the coldest temp I recorded was -18 and I totaled 4.3 inches of snow in 5 small snow events. South of I-70 on all of our properties, there was likely closer to 6 inches of snow total. All in all, one of the best snow removal periods I have ever had due to the cold temps and every flake sticking. This was quite impressive across the nation, something we will remember for a long time. Now, does it snow again in KC? Last year our last snowfall was on Feb. 12th and that was a grass accumulation due to marginal temps. Did KC see its last pavement accumulation this last Wednesday? We'll see. Great forecast Tom, you posted on Jan. 29th, saying, "is the best yet to come, I think so!" Nice work. 60+ degrees forecasted for KC on Tuesday, I think that might just feel like Florida weather.

  3. The last in a series of storms to hit the south during the 17th-18th dumped an impressive 10-21" of snow down in Arkansas! That has to be an all-time state record. Highest total reported was 21" in Gurdon, AR.

  9. Models indicating February may deliver the goods one more time before we move on. Sneaky storm there on the 27th bears watching. @Tom, I think that South and Eastern/Northeastern Arkansas probably set all kinds of records. That was surely a storm people all over the south will remember forever. I'm glad for that. I know bad stuff happens in extreme weather. Always will; it's part of it you accept as time goes. I'll accept that (most) kids love snow and it always will make many more people happy than it will sad. It's hard to look at beauty like that and hate snow. It changes everything. There are a lot of kids down here this year who have desperately needed some good memories, and like snow always did for me, may it help their happy memories fill up a little bit. Been a really great weather year and in spite of above avg stretches in December and January, this has really felt like a long winter or overall cold season.

  11. My office: --System Snow Expected Sunday Evening into Monday Morning-- The system snow on Sunday night has been well advertise by our office and by the models themselves. We are still expecting a widespread 2-4 inches of snow. The low moves off to the west of the GRR forecast area, but we see a burst of warm air advection snow during the Sunday evening time frame. The best lift and deepest DGZ occur after sunset Sunday evening persisting into the overnight hours. The warm air advection burst is not long, maybe on the order of 6 hours, but that will be enough focused lift to produce the widespread 2-4 inches of snow. The snow looks to persist into the Monday morning commute so we will be advising about that in the coming days. Given the amounts, the widespread nature of the snow and the fact that it will affect Monday morning`s commute it will likely be advisory worthy when we get to that point.

  12. Picked up a couple inches here yesterday evening and overnight. Measured 13” - 14” in my normal protected from the wind spot on the flat. I live 10 miles north west of Richmond so that 19” report would “roughly” be 5 miles from me. Is it possible there’s 5” more snow on the ground 5 miles from my house, maybe. I will say I was in Armada 10 times this week which is about 6 miles north west of Richmond and the snow looks about the same everywhere I’ve been this week at about 12”-14”. No matter what we can all agree there is a really deep snow pack right now in South east MI!

  15. Looks like next week will feature some modification in this arctic airmass. My temps could be flirting w the upper 30s, dare I say near 40F at best. This will feel like a heatwave. Some melting will be occurring, so, flooding will likely be happening. Thankfully, it gets colder again by weeks end and also, a potent storm to watch for that upcoming weekend.

  16. shh..these people are simple and think communism is coming. They are so easily influenced by fear tactics and don't understand simple economics. Oil companies make billions selling our oil and we don't refine it. We buy our oil cheap and the price is not set by ANY PRESIDENT OR PARTY. Its just too convenient for simpletons to believe the dumb facebook meme lies. We are the #1 oil producing country in the world. The average American DOES NOT benefit from that. BUT COMMUNISM IS COMING!!!! so silly if they just read the facts. But i've found out they avoid the truth at any cost. They can find any lie on the internet, and if it fits their narrative, they'll believe it. They have to. I can't imagine being so dull that believing socialism or communism is coming. Most of these people have ZERO clue what that is. They just hear their cult leaders say it and they believe it.

  20. Its beautiful out there and tbh, I might need to go and buy a yardstick because my ruler is not long enough to measure this much snow. I might go later today and get one. I tried walking in mby this morning, just to see how deep it is and I was in more than knee deep, easily over 17". If I had to guess, I would say somewhere between 18-23" snowdepth. Who would have known so much snow would fall this Winter. Yes, 100% true.

  28. The models are coming into agreement that an open wave will traverse the MW/GL's region and bring some light/mod snowfall for some of us starting on Sun out into parts of IA/MN and then points east. It's not a big system but another stat padder in the snow dept and for those out west it appears to be a daytime event on a weekend which I know some of you will enjoy. 00z Euro... 00z GFSv16... 00z GGEM...

  32. We could get there eventually with Biden cozying up to China etc. History shows that communism begins with the censoring of free speech, and sadly, that is becoming much worse this year with big tech thinking they can control everyone and even threatening/attacking other countries now!https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/02/facebook-attacked-sovereign-nation-will-not-intimidated-australian-prime-minister-responds-facebooks-shakedown-threats/ Some people that came here to get away from communism are warning us. You may think the Gateway Pundit is nothing, but they are listed as one of the fastest growing US websites. People are flocking to other platforms and news sites because of the censorship,etc. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/02/thank-gateway-pundit-listed-one-fastest-growing-us-websites-check-list/ Oops,now we’re back to politics. Also seems like Kamala and or Jill maybe are already making decisions for Joe.

  39. No it's a cheap knock off. A cheap Lacrosse I believe- I've had everything for expensive (at the time LaCrosse- Davis etc and had this one for 6-7 years now. The sensors run a little cool around 0C- but I have Kestrel that I can compare to so I know what's going on. Also- can have 3 sensors hooked up and placed in different locales and I have two displays. No radaiton shield, no wind, but my location has no place really to measure wind accurately. It does what I need it to do even with 2 displays and 3 sensors - under $100.

  40. This forum has been my second home for the past month with how active the weather has been, so now that it's calming down this place is a morgue lmao. But anyways, like most young dumb college students, I have no idea what I want to do with my life. Meteorology/weather is definitely more of a #1 hobby for me and I wouldn't want to ruin it by making it my career. I'm content with not knowing all the science behind it and just enjoying the show instead.That, and I'm not a math/science genuis LOL. I don't mind some calc/physics, but what stuff like engineering/met require are way too much for me. So yeah, I've been majoring in Ag econ since fall 2019. I think it's a good combo of topics I'm interested in, job opportunities, and courseload; so now I graduate from UNL in 2022. Still have no clue what I'm doing, but I have an internship with the USDA farm service agency starting this summer. I'm excited to help farmers, so I'll see how everything goes! If I know I'm making someone's day better, I think I'll like it.

  45. Let's hear it for Marshall! Not every day my little berg gets to steal the snow show, haha Combining both waves for the 15/16th I had 10.2" here in total. This is the biggest storm in just under 5 yrs when (ironically) Marshall also led the pack for this CWA with an 11.6" total. The 16" depth is just a bit shy of what we had post GHD-2 six years ago. Certainly has that 14 & 15 feel to it out there attm. Extremely high-end CAT-2 storm but with the existing base felt more like the 2nd half of a CAT-4 so it played like a much bigger story. What's odd is that I'm just "run of the mill" with my stats due to the massiveness of this system and the past 2 weeks. KTOL for instance had their 3rd largest 2-day storm ever with 14.5" and their 17" depth is highest since bliz of '78 (see other thread for vid btw).
