gabel23 Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 I would be glad to squeeze 3-5" out over a couple days. My biggest snow of the year has been 3.2. Either give me something or bring on spring; I'm tired of sub zero temps and brown grass. This winter is going down as one of the coldest and snowiest winters on record east of I-29 and north of I-80 and just sucky for everyone else.

I agree, bring on a big storm or bring on spring and severe weather. Tired of this brutally cold and snowless winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear ya, I remember the Christmas blizzard of 2009 very well. Walking in the streets with drifts up to my waist. That was easily the best winter storm I have ever lived through, in my short time on this earth of course! lol I only dream of living through a winter like the one in my profile picture.

I believe that pic was taken in Harrison, ne during the winter of 48-49. A remarkable winter for the entire state, we had a couple winters back to back like that in the 40's.

gabel23 Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 GFS after the 12z runs is on an Island all by itself. If this thing stays south and hits those same areas in Kansas that have been hit before I'm going to be upset. I would like to see one flipping storm with a total more than 3"!!!

I can't believe how persistent these storms have been this year; all staying to my south. You guys along I-80 are still in the running for some good snows, not so much for this guy!

winterfreak Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 Just insane how we have to worry about mixing issues when the storm times temperatures are supposed to be twelve degrees. If it isn't the track it's the freaking thermal profiles. Predicting a sleet slop fest for Kansas City. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clintbeed1993 Posted February 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 New EURO looks a lot better. .30 to .40 for precip. Interested to see what that comes out for snow.

gabel23 Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 I know with the way winter has gone this year it's really easy to throw in the towel after today's 12z runs. Don't live run to run, lets see what happens after tonight's run when the storm comes ashore. If models trend the same way tonight and tomorrow then I'll put a big fork in this god for saking winter!! I like what Pleasant Hill/KC NWS posted this afternoon as far as snow potential goes: http://www.crh.noaa.gov/wxstory.php?site=eax Also HPC boys updated their maps.

CentralNebWeather Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 Nws Hastings with there typical conservative approach. Winter weather advisories and watches all around the area. I guess snow will stop at one county line and jump to the next. They even say in their discussion 1-3 Saturday night and 1-4 Sunday. Yet nws goodland issues advisory for 1-3. Maybe they will be correct but it just appears to not make much sense looking at their website map. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the models, I just don't see how they can determine where the advisory should go and where it shouldn't. I honestly don't think the NWS has a clue what is gunna happen.

CentralNebWeather Posted March 1, 2014 Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 Nws Hastings, as conservative as Reagan or Bush. Their map is comical. I don't know how every other office has headlines and Hastings has this void. Amateur meteorologists and weather geeks like us would see that this is unbelievable. If they are correct more power to them but it looks foolish to have this donut hole surrounded by color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
