Tom Posted December 16, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2022 ORD reported 0.4" of Snow yesterday...this has been a memorable Blizzard for many folks in the Upper MW.

tStacsh Posted December 16, 2022 Report Share Posted December 16, 2022 expecting 3-6" through tomorrow night. Maybe more if the ingredients really come together for this. The LP is slowly moving north of my area which, given the moisture, should really start up the lake effect with favorable winds for my area later today and tonight. Thermals aren't the greatest, but plenty cold enough for some big flakes starting around noon today. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I noticed the radar yesterday it looked like the center was very close to me. Almost looked like a hurricane eye on radar! Very impressive. I haven't checked any updates yet but right now it's mostly clear. Looks like a couple inches of snow since the main event early yesterday. We have to have atleast 6" if not more.

sholomar Posted December 16, 2022 Report Share Posted December 16, 2022 Brookings SD... 5-6 inches from this storm, a couple inches of previous snowcover. Enough to enjoy the Christmas season. All of SD, ND, and MN seem to have snowcover now. Wish I had gotten a foot or two but that was never forecast anyways, plus snow that falls in the coteau des prairies doesn't really like to melt most winters until March, so we get stuck with any snow that falls for quite awhile. The Keloland webcams seem to be working again. "Deadwood 3" provides a nice view. https://www.keloland.com/weather/live-cameras/ 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard that number but never found any hard data on it. The highest "new snowfall" amounts I am aware of with the MOAB storm is 40". My hunch is there was some confusion between total snowfall and snow depth.

IMPACTS... * Short periods of moderate snowfall may result in visibility reduction to 1 mile or less. Cooling surface temperatures will also allow for minor accumulations on roadways, especially on untreated roadways. * With temperatures falling below freezing tonight, many areas could see slippery/icy conditions where snow has accumulated on roadways or where roadways are wet. The most vulnerable roadways will be bridges, exit ramps, and overpasses. && PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... * The combination of moderate snow, reduced visibility, and falling temperatures will cause variable traffic rates throughout the area. Motorists are urged to use caution and account for the variable conditions by allowing extra time and leaving plenty of space between vehicles while driving. * Prepare, plan and stay informed.
