Looks like a decent refresher up in IA/MN/WI...what is your snow depth Money??

[Tom]

00z Euro Para agrees with the GFS...

[Snowshoe]

Down to about 3 maybe 4 inches here. Hasn't snowed in a long time.

Wow, I'd think you would have atleast 6" or so...fluffy snow does settle quite a bit.  Well, guess its time for a refresher!

[james1976]

WWA here for light ice glazing and maybe an inch of snow.

[Geos]

Beginning to wonder if freezing rain or sleet might come in ahead of the low around here. Cold air has been stubborn to leave due to stratus for two days. If there's isn't any sun tomorrow, that could be an issue.

 

RGEM.

 

[Money]

Hmmm....

After seeing so many heartbreakers to the south the last few years, this one is pretty frustrating as well coming in late January.  If the big storm in the first few days of February misses, I'll feel like Mother Nature really owes Milwaukee.

[Geos]

0z GFS

 

 

Yeah GFS has the rain/snow line cutting through the local area. Fox news was showing it holding below freezing around here for awhile tomorrow. Model is probably overdoing the marine influence as usual.

[Geos]

Milwaukee right on the rain/snow line on the GGEM.

Little bit of freezing rain showing up on the HRRR around here.

 

 

EURO is a bit south, interesting.

 

[jcwxguy]

snow band about to come through here

 

 

[Snowlover76]

really icy today around Lincoln 

[jcwxguy]

that band of snow near Milford seems to be getting better organized and stronger on radar

[jcwxguy]

[Geos]

I can tell you right now the low is going to pass south of most models. Pressure falls indicate a track near Chicago.

 

 

Milwaukee should stay all snow. Maybe even Racine.

[jcwxguy]

snow has started here in lincoln, lightly but already accumulating on sidewalks and grass

[WBadgersW]

That would be good news GEOS. Patches of grass are starting to show here again.

[gabel23]

Near white out conditions in open areas. My in-laws where heading to Lincoln from David City and had to turn around because of the snow/blowing snow. 

[Snowlover76]

It's gonna rip here in Lincoln. Holy crap

[jcwxguy]

It's gonna rip here in Lincoln. Holy crap

heaviest going just north of licoln right now based off radar

Lincolndome wins again

[Snowshoe]

Seeing a pretty nasty period of freezing drizzle/fog. Ugly outside. 

[jcwxguy]

Lincolndome wins again

yeah

[Snowlover76]

That almost comical

[Jaycee]

On the north side of town near alvo road, we are still in that heavy band, and my god are the roads treacherous. Heaviest snow all year.

 

 

EDIT: Also saw a few sorostitutes completely biff it on campus today, not gunna lie, it was pretty funny.

[jcwxguy]

Already a good inch or two here

[jcwxguy]

At least in north Lincoln, stopped and took a short video, its uploading now

I have to drive from city campus to east in like 5 mins from now. Gonna suck navigating the parking lots on city.

 

At least I've got 4 wheel drive in my ford.

Visibility is only like a hundred yards

[Geos]

Visibility is only like a hundred yards

 

Holy cow, that looks awesome out there!

 

Hoping for a miracle tonight and get a dusting snow at least. Right now it doesn't seem like a system is coming with partial sun.
