Snowlover76 Posted December 23, 2017 Report Share Posted December 23, 2017 EURO did show 3-5 inches for along I-80 Saturday night and even the heaviest was a tad north of us. Alberta Clippers all winter have trended north so I think we are in a sweet spot here in OmahaLincoln area? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think they would take it a bit more seriously considering it's Christmas weekend. Pretty strange. 4 inches is very possible with the higher snow ratios.

I would think they would take it a bit more seriously considering it's Christmas weekend. Pretty strange. 4 inches is very possible with the higher snow ratios.That is very true, although the NAM really was overdone on snow totals from this last system so they may be taking that into account. Like most have mentioned ratios should be solid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEJeremy Posted December 23, 2017 Report Share Posted December 23, 2017 0Z NAM models show the heaviest stripe in southern Nebraska with the regular NAM giving 5” to Lincoln and 2” to Omaha.

bud2380 Posted December 23, 2017 Report Share Posted December 23, 2017 The GEM was replaced by the GDPS but it’s just the Canadian model either way. That’s why you see some call it the GEM still.

Tom Posted December 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2017 06z NAM's....both suggesting a pretty good snow event for those snow starved who have not been hit in the past 3 years it seems....been a while since we have had a decent clipper type system hit a large part of the sub forum. The heavier banding look across S NE/C IL looks interesting. Might have some pretty good returns setting up just south of Chi. http://maps1.pivotalweather.com/maps/models/nam/2017122306/066/snku_acc.us_mw.png Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted December 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2017 A stripe of WWA's hoisted overnight across the Plains/MW/OV...Finally, we could say there is a welcomed surprise snow event for the Christmas Holiday. I know peeps down in C IL have been itching for a snow system to hit their region. Been a few years at least. Anyhow, I'm glad to see the colder temps today to allow to refreeze the ground after a warm week of weather. I'm not looking for more than 1.5" around here. I'll take it though. http://www.weather.gov/images/lot/wxstory/Tab2FileL.png http://www.weather.gov/images/lot/events/ChristmasEveSnow.png Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
