Clinton Posted December 15, 2022 Report Share Posted December 15, 2022 Pattern due to repeat in late Jan or early February. The jet will be even stronger then, it's hard to imagine this storm having a stronger version but it might. Gary Lezak @glezak If you knew, what would you do? Remember this storm. This year's #LRC predicts that this storm will return in late January or early February. So, remember this date. There is currently, as of 7:25 AM, a Tornado Warning near Dallas, TX, and a Blizzard Warning over a large area! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it depends on if it is timed with tele-connections that give it the cold air needed to go big. If it cycles through in a warmer regime, won't be as impressive imo. 3 Quote Winter 2023-24 Snow Total = 53.1" (90% Normal Season) Largest Storm: 12" (1/12-13) Oct: 0.1 Nov: 2.9 Dec: 7.5 Jan: 31.7 Feb: 6.0 Mar: 4.3 Apr: 0.1 Avg = 59.2" (Harrison): 2023-24 = 53.1" Avg = 45.0" (KDTW): 2022-23 = 33.5" 2021-22 = 35.6" Avg = 49.7" (KRMY): 2020-21 = 36.2" 2019-20 = 48.0" 2018-19 = 56.1" 2017-18 = 68.3" 2016-17 = 52" 2015-16 = 57.4" 2014-15 = 55.3" 2013-14 = 100.6" (coldest & snowiest in the modern record!) 2012-13 = 47.2" 2011-12 = 43.7" Legit Blizzards (high winds and dbl digit snows): Feb 2011, Dec 2009, Jan 2005, Dec 2000, Jan 1999, Mar 1998, Nov 1989, Jan 1982, Jan 1978, Jan 1977, Apr 1975, Mar 1973, Jan 1967, Feb 1965, Jan 1918 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james1976 Posted December 15, 2022 Report Share Posted December 15, 2022 Received 0.57" of rain so far from this system according to my weather station. All while in the mid 30s. So close but so far away. Did pick up about half inch of wet snow last night though...but that's all gone now. Temp is down to 34 now. That slug of moisture about to move in means business. Dynamic cooling will transition it to snow. Looks like a heavy wet snow. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted December 15, 2022 Report Share Posted December 15, 2022 There's a zone of 40-50 mph wind gusts in central IL right now to the south of the developing secondary surface low. Those winds may get in here later as the low passes by my area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gabel23 Posted December 15, 2022 Report Share Posted December 15, 2022 Omaha and points along the Missouri river are currently getting hit by some moderate snow. They might pick up 1-2" of snow by the time things are done. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gabel23 Posted December 15, 2022 Report Share Posted December 15, 2022 Meanwhile areas in western nebraska and the panhandle are over 48 hours being in a Blizzard Warning. Roads have also been closed for two days. The pictures I have seen near Chadron are incredible. Someone might be close to 3 ft by the time all is said and done.

Same here but the way winter has gone the past several years, really have not expected much snow for December anyways. Have been back loaded winters for these parts but things are looking up for maybe a White Christmas for most of this sub.

sholomar Posted December 15, 2022 Report Share Posted December 15, 2022 Now we're getting some snow... looks like a couple of fresh inches with maybe 3-4 more inches coming. Looking at the positives had we got dumped on with snow through the whole even I wouldn't have been able to take the nice 5 mile jog around the parks during the break yesterday. That was nice. Will be too cold for cardio for awhile now. I have off so I can relax and enjoy it falling today.

Bryan1117 Posted December 15, 2022 Report Share Posted December 15, 2022 Picked up about an inch of snow this morning from the wraparound here in the Omaha metro. Roads were a complete mess with lots of accidents. It seems like people around here completely forgot how to drive in the snow - who can blame them with this recent pattern, LOL? I will say that seeing the ground covered in a thin layer of white gold brightens up my mood a little bit as it's looking a little bit more like December out there, finally! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like most of the metro area should get around an inch or maybe a bit more from this system.

Des Moines is 100 miles due west of me, but they always significantly out perform in snow. Its remarkable. The radar looks great out that way. I'm hoping it rotates over to eastern Iowa without falling apart. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
