FarmerRick Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 Had a huge lightning flash around 6:15 as I was leaving for work. Took 40 minutes to make the trek, usually takes 20. About 20ft. visibility. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcwxguy Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 looks like reports are coming in around lincoln, 3.5-4", and power out in parts of town edit: 5.5" at 40th and vine from broadcast media Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaycee Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 This is crunch time here for OMA/LNK folks. If this dry air punch fills in and kicks SE you can guarantee we'll be seeing huge totals. But it looks like it's going to stop here soon. Edit: also 5.5" at 27th and Alvo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CentralNebWeather Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 I-80 closed Holdrege exit east to Utica. I would at say least a foot here but who the heck would know. Winds are sustained at 40 mph gusts to 50 and zero visibility in town. Most snow I have seen at my house and I have lived at this location for 13 years. Most forecasts still give me 5-9 more inches and the the wind really cranks later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CentralNebWeather Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 I just peaked out the back. We are protected in my neighborhood and there are drifts over my neighbors 6 foot privacy fence. My alley has drifts close to 5 feet. I will get pictures today but right now it is a mighty beast that has descended on Holdrege 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowshoe Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 Can't wait! Just a few more hours. AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE LA CROSSE WI 605 AM CST TUE FEB 2 2016 .SHORT TERM...(TODAY AND TONIGHT) ISSUED AT 307 AM CST TUE FEB 2 2016 ALL EYES FOCUSED DIRECTLY ON THE IMPENDING WINTER STORM. LEADING EDGE OF THE FRONTOGENETIC DRIVEN RADAR RETURNS ALREADY INTO NORTHERN WI AND SOUTHERN WI. NOTHING REACHING THE GROUND INITIALLY AS THERE IS A DRY LOWER LAYER THAT HAS TO BE OVERCOME FIRST. THE MAIN DYNAMICALLY DRIVEN SNOW IS STILL WELL TO THE SOUTH IN KS/MO/NE AND SOUTHERN IA. BUT THAT AREA IS QUICKLY MOVING NORTHEAST AS THE MAIN UPPER SYSTEM CONTINUES TO CHURN NORTHEAST ACROSS THE PLAINS. IMPRESSIVE JET ROUNDING THE BASE OF THE TROUGH WITH THE INITIAL SHORT WAVE EMBEDDED IN THE CLOSED CIRCULATION. BROAD UPPER DIFLUENCE SEEN IN BOTH SATELLITE IMAGERY AND MODEL PLAN VIEW GRAPHICS. SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO REACH ITS PEAK STRENGTH AS IT MOVES INTO WESTERN IA AROUND SUNSET. UPWARD LIFT IS INCREDIBLY STRONG WITH OMEGA ACTUALLY WRAPPING AROUND THE COLOR SCALE ON OUR DISPLAYS. PERUSAL OF CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL INDICATES BOTH UPRIGHT AND SLANTWISE COMPONENTS AVAILABLE DURING THE PEAK FROM AFTERNOON INTO EARLY EVENING...SO CANNOT COMPLETELY RULE OUT A RUMBLE OR TWO OF THUNDER AS WELL. WILL NOT ADD IT TO THE FORECAST JUST YET... THE RECENT TREND OF A SLIGHTLY MORE NORTHERLY TRACK IS STILL THERE...WITH MORE WARMER AIR SNEAKING INTO THE SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF OUR SERVICE AREA. THIS COULD PUT A LITTLE OF A DENT INTO THE EVENTUAL SNOWFALL AMOUNTS...WITH SOME OF THE PRECIPITATION FALLING AS RAIN. HAVE CONTINUED THE TREND THAT PREVIOUS SHIFTS STARTED BY HAVING A WINTRY MIX IN THE SOUTHEAST THIRD OF OUR AREA. BUT DESPITE THE PRESENCE OF THE WARMER AIR AND THE SLIGHT SHIFT... STILL THINK IMPRESSIVE SNOW ACCUMULATIONS WILL BE SEEN. WHEN IT DOES SNOW...CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL AND STRONG LIFT SUGGEST IT WILL SNOW PRETTY HARD...WITH 1-2 INCH RATES FOR AT LEAST A FEW HOURS AT EACH LOCATION. ONCE THE INITIAL SURGE OF HEAVY SNOW BEGINS TO TAPER OFF...AND THE MAIN DEFORMATION AREA SHIFTS A BIT TO THE NORTH...WE COULD HAVE A PERIOD WHERE ONLY LIGHT SNOW PREVAILS. BUT THERE IS A SECONDARY SHORT WAVE TROUGH THAT WILL ROTATE AROUND THE MAIN SYSTEM AND WILL PASS ACROSS THE AREA DURING THE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT HOURS. THIS WILL PROVIDE ANOTHER PERIOD OF SIGNIFICANT LIFT...AND COULD DROP SEVERAL MORE INCHES OF SNOW. THIS DOUBLE-BARREL EFFECT SHOULD HELP US REACH THE FORECAST SNOW TOTALS OF 6 TO AS MUCH AS 12 INCHES. Quote WISCONSIN RAPIDS Wisconsin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaycee Posted February 2, 2016 Report Share Posted February 2, 2016 Winds have switched gears to now NNE, meaning the banding will likely follow suit correct? If you look at radar, that heavy band over Lancaster has a tilt that would support it lagging over us til the low eventually pushes east, if so, the dry slot over Neb City would follow what the RGEM showed.
