bennet to hickman should be in dry slot now, based off trends, most if not all of lincoln will be in dry slot in about half hour

[Jaycee]

How about Omaha?

how long do you think we are in it for? 2 hours?

A ton of convection showing up in N/C IA right now!  Thundersnow baby!  It's awesome to hear that a lot of you guys experience thundersnow.  This storm is phenomenal.  Txtbook comma head signature...looks like track has ticked a bit N/NW than earlier guidance last night.  It's typical to see this with systems as such as they begin to occlude.

I don't mind, puts me in the front end moisture feed and as long as its cold enough, we are good to go!

James should start seeing thunder snow right now...

How much do you have OTG???

[CentralNebWeather]

People trying to drive and are now stuck in deep snowdrifts north of my house. Losing proposition trying to get out. Will probably need a large loader or tractor to get them out.

id say like 3"

 

the RGEM busted here, Id say we finish with around 7" maybe 8"  No way we see 10" now because of this fricking dryslot.

your guess is as good as mine, no idea

[Madtown]

Massive dry

[Snowlover76]

hopefully it starts to move east some more.

hate to say it, but the GFS nailed this storm too with the farther north track. I measured about 4-4.5" at my house and now the dreaded dryslot is nearly here. According the HRRR, which has been pretty accurate, it shows we get maybe another 1-1.5". it shows the low just sitting and spinning and when it finally starts to kick east, it's weakening and the deformation band on the backside is dissipating. in the end this isn't going to be an epic storm here, just another 6" winter storm. sorry to complain for those that aren't getting anything, but it's a big letdown from where we were predicted for most of the last week. Oh and I stayed up too late last night, so I slept through the thundersnow this morning!!

We will get our storm someday

[Hawkeye]

Last hour I experienced heavy snow with four rumbles of thunder.  The snow has lightened up, so we won't accumulate much.

Yuck. It never fails here. LNK/OMAdome always wins

[gosaints]

Gonna slot here to hopefully.pound before that

[gabel23]

I just went and measured between 7-8" of snow. I'm hoping for another 3-6" when this main band moves thru. I couldn't believe the thundersnow this morning! Visibility is literally down to a block! 

[Tom]

Hope you get to experience some thundersnow...

[Geos]

Ugghh! That dry slot got out of hand.

 

Storm slowed up too much. Radar in IL not impressive. This is going to be a pretty brief rain snow spell.

[james1976]

Already 4" imby. That's 2.5" in the last 1.5 hours!

[Snowshoe]

Look at those cloud tops in Iowa. This image might auto update.

[Snowlover76]

I think Lincoln gets maybe another 2" before this is over.  Radar is really starting to look like crap 

[jcwxguy]

7" at 40th and Vine -Lincoln-KOLN/KGIN 

[hlcater]

It's letting up now. Didn't really expect much more than the 1.5 inches I got. However, this is far from a bust because it thundered here 9 times. Beating my old record of 7 times.

[Madtown]

Overall seems like an intense storm, but by no means a beast.

[pack402]

Precip nearing the end in Omaha. Ughh I'm so disappointed

[Geos]

Hope you get to experience some thundersnow...

Tom are you getting snow now? I heard there is some snow on the front end.

[gosaints]

Puking snow

[Snowlover76]

Precip nearing the end in Omaha. Ughh I'm so disappointed

I think this dryslot lasts for a good 2 hours and then we get 1-3" or maybe 2-4" from the wrap around

Nada...zilch...to warm.....sitting at 36F

 

Edit:  Getting sleet right now...

[Geos]

I think part of it has to do with the lake influence. So far just virga here.

I hope so.....

[Snowlover76]

I hope so.....

Hopefully some day in the future we get what they are getting in central NE. I mean it has to happen doesnt it? Then again the Cubs still haven't been in the WS 

[pack402]

What a monumental letdown. I have maybe 3-4 in western Douglas county and not holding hope that we'll add to that when the backside moves through. This thing is eroding quickly

[jcwxguy]

currently getting ice here in north lincoln

[gabel23]

True blizzard conditions at York since 530 this morning, I just went and walked around and there are some huge drifts! I'll take plenty of pictures when I can!
