Minny_Weather Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 Power went on and off a few times here, really icing up and starting to turn to snow. Had some sleet too briefly.Yeah it flickered here too. That'd be a bummer. It'd ruin the George Lopez marathon I'm having right now. And the heated blanket. So let's hope it stays on.

Minny_Weather Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 Radar still different from what any model is showing. OAX says the band is weakening. I don't see the weakening. I still see 30 dBZs. Quote Formerly *ahem*: LNK_Weather, TOL_Weather, FAR_Weather, MSP_Weather, IMoveALot_Weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew NE Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 Well the flash freezing/freezing drizzle was for real, Omaha is a sheet of ice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minny_Weather Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 God the OAX AFD was oblivious. It was almost like they're using HRRR as their "current radar." I don't see a weakening trend, and right now things are setting up unfavorably for a band to set up to our Southeast.

Grizzcoat Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 Warning for the CTY I live in with up to 6" of snow!!! What you guys have in the OMA area is going to be a nightmare here with several inches of snow on top of it. The RAP is impressive and lines up well with the NWS graphic. Any waver though and I'am out of luck. 1 Quote The two loudest sounds known to man: a gun that goes bang when it is supposed to go click and a gun that goes click when it is supposed to go bang.

Minny_Weather Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 Earlier we had a brief burst of light snow and the flakes were actually decent size for how windy it is. 21.2° on my balcony.

Grizzcoat Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 All public schools shut down here in the DSM area for the day. In their defense - a 2 hr delay or 2 hr early out is not going to help matters and likely make things worse. All ready getting a nice sheet of ice on exposed surfaces. Should be a fun commute home from DSM to the prairie in a few hours...... I actually mean that-- love driving in it. 1 Quote The two loudest sounds known to man: a gun that goes bang when it is supposed to go click and a gun that goes click when it is supposed to go bang.

Minny_Weather Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 We'd have a dusting too if it wasn't for all the graupel here right now. Or as the blonde field reporter calls it, "hail." We may end up with 2" when all is said and done. I'm watching a nice band in Kansas but it looks like it'll pass JUST to our East.

Jaycee Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 Just woke up for the 5th time, this wind is insane. Back to bed for 20 minutes tho. Also, this thread has really shown some true colors of people on this forum. Coming in here to see someone with nothing to do with the storm but simply to poke fun at Nebraska for getting screwed is actually insanely rude. I could say 'get a life' but clearly that does nothing. Theyll always be here it seems. Oh well, just was surprised to see how bad this got.

FarmerRick Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 Too many thin-skinned people who get all butt-hurt and cant take a joke, and too many people messing with said people when a storm doesn't go exactly the way the models show a few days out. It's like freaking junior high in here... It would be comical if it wasn't so sad... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minny_Weather Posted January 11, 2018 Report Share Posted January 11, 2018 The band is a lot wider and more NW than models showed. Lincoln is on the edge and we're scoring pretty well.
