1 mile north of me. Davis Weather App. My gauge was pretty close. 

Got home from school, and my guage showed almost 1.10” today. Way over performed. Now we have another cold rain coming Wednesday night into Thursday. Then rain and snow Friday night into Saturday. Nice. 

Now just a leisurely 53 mph north wind as the low moves away. One of the windiest springs in recent memory. 

Closing in on 1.0”. Very unexpected, and not forecasted to get this amount. We’ll take it. 

Overnight was a bust here, only 0.10” with no severe weather. 
However, we have had rain with embedded thunder since around 10 am. Moderate to at times heavy rain has put down 0.60” as rain continues. We are on the wraparound side of the low as it slowly moves east. Very appreciative of this rainfall. 

Well, here it is. Might not be much sleep tonight. 

Oh Boy. Could get really rough around here tonight. 

Looks like 85 was our high today. 85-90 tomorrow and Monday. Storms and rain Monday night through Tuesday. Cold rain/wet snow Wednesday night into Thursday. 

South/southeast winds gusting to 40 mph still this evening, have brought smoke up here from prescribed burns in Kansas and Oklahoma. Very hazy with a strong smoke odor in the air. 

Some pics. 

No school here. We were going to have a late start, but many county roads are impassable. Interstate 80 and Highway 30 still closed. I’d say we got 4” more last evening into overnight on top of the 6” we had, of course some compaction happened during the day yesterday. I have the largest drifts of the season in my yard and driveway. 
Have to say, it has been a very odd winter. I’ll give my final analysis when I’m sure all snow events are over. 

Not any improvement as of 6:25 pm.

Jealous, you guys cashed in big time! Waiting to see if we get a little bit as the low pulls away. Not holding my breath, just glad we did see moisture.

Probably snowing as hard the last 2 hours as anytime since this morning. This band is intense. It just hasn’t wanted to move towards your area. We have a late start tomorrow. Our superintendent and principal really want to get the Junior ACT done tomorrow or I’m wondering if we’d have another snow day. Going to have to really let up by morning if we’re going to start by 10 am. 

Just east of town currently at 3:58 pm. 

Blizzard Warning continues until 7 am. Next round of snow moving up from Kansas. It is picking up in intensity. Forecast says up to 4” more as the winds continue. Nice.

Isn't that something...I can imagine what that looks like...I bet I-80 is probably almost impossible to drive through...

It is closed from Kearney west. Most areas advising no travel.

Rain, rain, and more rain. Beneficial but frustrating. No cancellations on my flights so looks like I'll be heading out to Seattle shortly. Family is super bummed because we thought we had a decent chance of it being cancelled but this storm was a complete failure down here in the snow department. Looks like we have potential to pick up 2-3 inches today, maybe, but I won't even be here for it. Oh joy.

Wow. You looked to be in a perfect spot.

It is literally right overhead...maybe the Euro had it right all along since yesterday...this system certainly had its twists and turns, some good ones and some nasso much...You always seem to have the shiny snow magnet with these systems.  Good luck and congrats on catching a Late Season Blizzard!

 

Just sitting here and it continues to re form. These setups are usually pretty good around here. NAM and Euro were on this early. Reports out in the country of 0 visibility. I don’t doubt it, we are on the edge of town, and at times you can barely see across the street when the gusts come. 6” report now from local law enforcement with snow continuing. 

Reports of 5” so far. Hard to tell with 50 mph gusts. 1/8 mile visibility. Band has sat over here for about 5 hours. May be a lull this afternoon, then another 1-3” wave coming up from the southwest. Great day to stay home with some great coffee.

For sure...they probably wouldn't mind an early taste of summer themselves right about now...lol

I see they just fixed it on their site. 

Temp has dropped from 58 to 35 in one hour. Nice.
