  1. Nws Hastings says they are waiting to start issuing snow amounts for awhile but looking likely Saturday and Sunday.
  2. NWS Hastings and Goodland sure don't think there are any large storms coming to Nebraska. They mention cold and small precipitation chances over the weekend, but nothing like is showing up on the GFS or Euro. Hastings tends to be very conservative, IMO, so things might change this weekend. Really hoping for a large early March snowstorm but right now I am not holding out alot of hope.
  3. Looks like furnas, gosper, and Harlan counties were the snow winners. 8-9 inches within the persistent band. Winter wonderland here in central Nebraska. Haven't said that very often this winter. Just used the snowblower on the driveway, it is a fairly wet snow but it blows easily.
  4. Solid 4-6 inches in Phelps county so far, still snowing hard.. Got under a heavy snow band the last couple of hours. 1 inch an hour snowfall rates. Heaviest of the season. Will update when it finally ends. Sounds like more chances during the week and nws Hastings hinting at a large storm, possibly, March 1-3.
  5. Ground now covered in Holdrege. Heavy wet snow, east to northeast wind at 20 mph. Just added Phelps county to winter weather advisory for up to 4 inches with higher amounts based on banding. Hope to get some decent moisture from this storm. Not the fluffy type we have had this winter.
  6. Just started snowing here in holdrege. East wind blowing. Visibility probably 2 miles.
  7. I know. It can be so frustrating. I don't really believe it until I see snow coming down. Hope the different storms can give us all something.
  8. NWS Hastings says that this is a very difficult forecast for tonight into Sunday morning. Winter Weather Advisory along I-80 west from Grand Island. General 1-5 inches but said where frontogenesis sets up it could be 6-8 inches. Could be a very thin band. Counties may be upgraded to warnings tonight or other dropped from advisory. Described it as "SEVERAL SCENARIOS ARE POSSIBLE TONIGHT AND WE WILL REALLY NOT KNOW WHICH ONE IS RIGHT UNTIL WE SEE THIS UNFOLD." I hope Phelps County can be under this band.
  9. Nws Hastings has 2-4 with potentially nighter amounts where heavier bands set up. Hoping to be within one of those bands Saturday night.
  10. I am with you. Central Nebraska has had some of our largest storms in March. I remember March of 1984 and the double blizzards of late March and early April 1987. The 2nd one in 1987 put drifts over barns in the country around Phelps County. We could walk up onto our garage in town. I tell my kids of these type of storms and they don't believe that they can actually happen anymore in Nebraska. One of these winters we will get our turn (I hope).
  11. Wow. 12Z GFS buries most of Nebraska with over 1 ft. of snow in the next 2 weeks. We just need one of these storms to slow down and really strengthen. Almost blizzard conditions for a short amount of time in Holdrege between 5-6:30 yielded a little over 1". It was hard to see across the street for about 1 hour this morning. Most smaller school districts had late starts due to the slick road conditions and reduced visibility. It is already melting off pretty quickly here around noon. Several more chances in the coming days and looking like a rather impressive storm towards the Feb. 28-Mar 2 time frame.
  12. Wow. 00z gfs buries central Nebraska with multiple storms over the next 10-15 days. Keep hoping this winter will end on a positive note with moisture laden storms to help ease the drought. Farmers in this region praying for rain or large heavy snowstorms. Our snow and the piles are already gone from last week.. Can't believe how fast they melted.
  13. 18z gfs puts down 8-12 inches from Sunday- Tuesday across western and southern Nebraska. I know it is usually fantasy land but seeing this can raise my hope if only until 00z comes out when I am sure it will somehow jump to Illinois.
  14. Well looks like nws in Hastings, north Platte, and Goodland are backing off storm for this weekend. Our horrible luck or location on storms this winter continues. Seems that during the last decade storms seem to go more south and southeast more often than I can remember from my childhood. Now there is talk that next winter looks very similar. I am so depressed by how this winter has unfolded.
  15. Hastings and North Platte nws hinting at a storm next weekend. We will hope it verifies.
  16. Up to freezing here in Central Nebraska. Our nice snow cover will be gone by this weekend with highs in the 50's and pushing 60 early next week. The drifts and piles will be shrinking as well. Hoping for a large storm at the end of the month to rival our storm from Feb. 21-22, 2013.
