centralweather44 Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 Little slick in spots but not terrible. Just got to our shop. Sleet on the ground in West Lincoln with lighting and thunder. Was hoping we would be seeing snow by now. Most models were showing it by now. Have a feeling we may bust pretty good on this one. Been to both sides of lincoln checking snow removal properties wnd thermometer only got down to 36. Still have a ways to go that’s for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been to both sides of lincoln checking snow removal properties wnd thermometer only got down to 36. Still have a ways to go that’s for sureMost models held off snow till 6 or 7. That makes up for us being in the slot right now. We still need 850mb temps to cool down, so the slot isn't all bad. As the low moves East, the precip shield will jog Southeast, which is when we will see our heaviest snow. Roads aren't concerning right now, temps still above freezing. Precip is just wetbulbing down. Quote Formerly *ahem*: LNK_Weather, TOL_Weather, FAR_Weather, MSP_Weather, IMoveALot_Weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minny_Weather Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 It's funny. News stations seemed more hysterical during the "storm" a couple of weeks ago than they are now even though we're in a Blizzard Warning. I guess it's because we're slotted. During that storm, it was constant weather coverage. Today, it's the normal morning news schedule. Quote Formerly *ahem*: LNK_Weather, TOL_Weather, FAR_Weather, MSP_Weather, IMoveALot_Weather.

Minny_Weather Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 The changeover is occurring here with the thin band of sleet that just passed. Snow falling just North of Lincoln now. Main area of snow should get here around sunrise, possibly later. Definitely slower than what most models besides Euro showed. Euro was too slow.

Minny_Weather Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 I'm thinking the places getting snow reflectivities right now are actually seeing a sleet/snow or rain/snow mix.

Bryan1117 Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 Just woke up and looked outside to a mix of rain, sleet and wet snow outside here in Southwest Omaha (Chalco/Millard area near I-80 and Highway 50). Some huge flakes of snow are falling with this mix and this appears to be helping the temperature wet-bulb down, my thermometer is showing 34.1. A little bit of sloppy accumulation as well looking outside on elevated surfaces. Schools here locally are all closing today in anticipation of this storm.

Snow should stack up quick.Thanks Tom! I am still a little bit concerned about the dry slot to our southeast over SE Nebraska and SW Iowa, however it appears the precipitation is wrapping around nicely around the pivot point near the storm’s center. The cut off with this system on the south and east edge is going to be so severe. It’s nice to see the changeover take place earlier than the NWS called for here.

Minny_Weather Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 Looks like it's trying to fill in over the currently dry slotted Lincoln. Area of light snow to our West is expanding to the East. Maybe it'll get heavier. Quote Formerly *ahem*: LNK_Weather, TOL_Weather, FAR_Weather, MSP_Weather, IMoveALot_Weather.

No joke, that is one extreme cut off but I think your going to do fine. Radar trends keep filling in over OMA and the defo band is slowly coming south. Those are some nice dbz returns on radar!
