It was even like this at lower spots 300ft. I suspect the many hours of heavy precip made this possible. When I got home there was hardly any trace of snow with most of the moisture skirting just west and north
My family and I just made it to Lincoln city for the evening. The drive over was fine but it’s been pounding wet huge sloppy flakes the whole time. This weather is so raw. You get soaked so fast and without proper gear or shelter you’re in trouble real fast. The snow accumulation just up in the hills is amazing. Too bad we couldn’t have this set up back in December Or January.
The heavy rain has stopped, the sleet has stopped but now it’s just a very light drizzle that doesn’t even show up on radar. I think this can be worse tho as it slowly glazes the trees and coats them faster than big rain drops.
The intensity of this freezing rain is disturbing. It would easily turn into a catastrophic event if we don’t warm up early Wednesday AM or precipitation doesn’t stop.
