Ground Hog Day Blizzard/Snowstorm Part II

[Geos]

Yeah primary low is going to take its time. Just crawling across the OK panhandle/extreme SW KS.

 

 

[CentralNebWeather]

Blizzard here getting hammered. Radar is going nuts. Winds gusting to 40 mph. No idea how much snow with the blowing

[ToastedRavs]

First flakes outside Des Moines. Looks like heaviest between 9 and noon if HRRR verufies

[clintbeed1993]

Flakes have been super grainy here.  Really hoping they fatten up soon.

[Jaycee]

Fat flakes flying here, but rain mixing in. Hoping to wake up surprised, WPC update doesn't look good.

[CentralNebWeather]

1/4 mile visibility and heavy snow. Winds now gusting to 45 mph. Isn't the low still in southeastern Colorado? Hope it has slowed down so it can dump on all of us

[NEJeremy]

I'm now up to 8-15" total in my gridded forecast!

[CentralNebWeather]

0 visibility winds gusting to 50 mph. You have to see it to believe it. I am not sure how roads would be open. I can barely see my next door neighbor here in town

[clintbeed1993]

Anybody have a map of where the low is at?  Pretty sure it is barely moving in Kansas right now.  Good sign if you want this thing to hammer us.

[Grizzcoat]

I not so certain there is a real defined area of "one" low pressure. it seems it's elongated in S Central Kansas,, but from the latest obs-- Dodge City has the lowest pressure I can find at 29.32 or 993.2-- HRRR doesn't seem to be doing a good job in placing the L on it's initialization of its runs

If it is still in Southwest Kansas that is truly incredible.  Thing has moved 50-100 miles in like 8 hours

[Andrew NE]

Clint how much snow do you have OTG at your place?

[clintbeed1993]

Clint how much snow do you have OTG at your place?

 

Probably around 3 inches.  Starting to rip good now though.

[winterguy]

Just had our first flash and pop of thundersnow in Omaha!

[Andrew NE]

Thundersnow in full effect in Omaha in the last 20 minutes.

[Guest Snowball]

Holy heavy snow!

[winterguy]

Hopefully my time lapse will capture the Lightning! But It's really ramping up out west. This is amazing

[Guest Snowball]

Lighting and thunder here! Strong northeast winds

[gabel23]

One flash of thunder and the clap about 10 minutes ago! Now it's snowing and blowing like crazy, there is no way roads should be open, I can't see across the street!!

[jcwxguy]

Holy BIG BOOM HERE IN NORTH LINCOLN JUST NOW

[Guest Snowball]

Here comes the dreaded dry slot south of lincoln! JC Will it fill back in?

[Snowlover76]

Snowing pretty good here now.

 

 

How much do the models have is getting?

not based off radar trends, least for alittle bit

[Snowlover76]

Had to expect we get dryslotted. This is Lincoln after alll

[jcwxguy]

Snowing pretty good here now.

if you subtract what the hrrr had us having by now, according to that one, only a few more inches the next 7-10 hours

[Jaycee]

Yeah. Hard to assess what we have now. Just glad I heard thunder.

[Snowlover76]

Oh well. We had thunder though.

[jcwxguy]

anywhere from 2-5 across parking lot where im at,  best guess  around 3.5

[Snowlover76]

The 6z RGEM gave up like a foot here. So screw it. I'm going with the RGEM for this one

[Jaycee]

anywhere from 2-5 across parking lot where im at, best guess around 2.5 - 3

This can't be it though.. right? This is miniscule.

[Snowlover76]

This can't be it though.. right? This is miniscule.

The LincolnDome is a powerful thing

[Madtown]

Interesting storm, that seems to be just toying with us all.

[Jaycee]

Dry air bubble filling in south now

[jcwxguy]

just had another lightning strike here!

[jcwxguy]

This can't be it though.. right? This is miniscule.

went outside again, near 4" now

[jcwxguy]

and lightning again!

[Snowshoe]

Radar starting to show snow from Madison up I90. Any reports Madtown?

[Madtown]

Very light. Like a flake falling every now and then.

[Snowlover76]

Hopefully we avoid the dryslot for as long as possible

[StormwaterChaser]

Just got to work, had 3 flashes of lightning on the way in & some pretty good fat flakes coming down (Omaha).
