Thought it was just me being hopeful, but maybe it is lifting just enough north. Time will tell. Going to be razor close. Edit: Twin Cities NWS just posted about this on Twitter. Looks like the metro is going to take a beating. COME ONNNN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minny_Weather Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 Went for a walk around my complex and took these. Arterials are slushy. Side streets are ice rinks. Wet snow from earlier has flash frozen. Had to take a scraper to get it off my car. Tiny flakes now so it's having a hard time accumulating. 1 Quote Formerly *ahem*: LNK_Weather, TOL_Weather, FAR_Weather, MSP_Weather, IMoveALot_Weather.

gabel23 Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 Mesoscale Discussion 0039NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK0920 AM CST Mon Jan 22 2018Areas affected...Portions of eastern NE...far southeasternSD...northern/western IA...southern MN...and western WIConcerning...Heavy snowValid 221520Z - 222115ZSUMMARY...Heavy snow, with rates around 1-2 inches per hour, willspread northeastward through this afternoon. Blizzard conditionswill continue across parts of eastern NE into far southeastern SD,western/northern IA, and southern MN for at least a few more hours.DISCUSSION...A mature mid/upper-level cyclone centered over easternNE/KS this morning will move east-northeastward across IA/MO andtowards IL by later today. A zone of strong low/mid-levelfrontogenetic forcing on the northern extent of this cyclone issupporting a band of moderate to heavy snow extending from easternNE into western/northern IA and southern MN. This heavy snow bandwill develop northeastward into more of southern MN and eventuallyparts of western WI by this afternoon. Snowfall rates of 1-2 inchesper hour will be common within this band, with locally higher ratespossible within where localized convective enhancement occurs.Sporadic lightning strikes may continue given the very stronglarge-scale forcing and steepened mid-level lapse rates.Additionally, a strong surface pressure gradient exists on thenorthern side of a low centered over IA as of 15Z, which issupporting blizzard conditions across parts of eastern NE, farsoutheastern SD, western/northern IA, and southern MN. Here,frequent northerly/northeasterly gusts of 35-50 mph are resulting inblowing snow with substantially reduced visibilities (1/4 of a mileor less). These blizzard conditions are expected persist for atleast the next few hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minny_Weather Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 Looking like we may get a band stretching from Waverly to near Blair. Can't exactly tell how strong it is cuz it passes straight thru the OAX radar site. That's the one shot I have for decent accumulations before the backside.

NEJeremy Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 I was thinking my parents up in Yankton, SD in southeast SD along the NE/SD border would end up losing out on any decent accumulations after they were in the jackpot zone for most of the time leading up to this storm, but yesterday looked like things changed for them. My parents estimate they were already at 5" and that was about 2 hours ago and they've been sitting under a heavy snow band since. Radar shows no signs of letting up for them either.

Tabitha Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 I have been observing the radar imagery and it is quite odd how all the echoes seem to fall apart or diminish significantly as they try to make entrance into the county Lincoln, Nebraska is in; I guess that would be the Lancaster County...

Bryan1117 Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 Implying there is not a back building band approaching us? I think you're hung over.Exactly, another enhanced band just reformed right over the western part of Omaha and it's starting to pour down snow once again. This storm is far from over for Lincoln and Omaha, the main area of snow has yet to even pivot back through our areas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gabel23 Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 Ha! My grid point forecast now has me with 5-9" of snow and OAX maps have been updated with new higher totals over Omaha. Had 1-3" forecast earlier this morning. Not sure what they are seeing as it's not snowing and hasn't been for basically the last 2+ hours. Heavier bands are also moving west away from Omaha and even though there is a little bit of development, it's nothing more than lt snow/flurries. They have adjusted this again Jeremy, I think you do great!! Sorry to hear about your sister losing power, man that's the worse! I think when it's all said and done I should see a foot or more. It was so bizarre earlier, it stopped snowing for like 20 minutes and then all of a sudden boom it started coming down hard again. The back edge of this storm will do well for all of us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CentralNebWeather Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 Local ABC meteorologist blamed dry air being drawn into this storm yesterday, last night, through some of this morning. Some did really well. I will end with 3-4”. I would say I am more than a little disappointed when for 3 days I was predicted from 8-11” then upped to 11-14”. Didn’t want to admit it, but always believed those were to high. New resolution this year for myself is not to get mad or angry because Mother Nature will do what she will and doesn’t care about forecast models. On to the next storm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEJeremy Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 Finally snowing hard here again with big fattys coming down. Hope this hangs together for awhile! Of note, we do still have the back end of the storm to move through, but all of the models show the band falling apart pretty quickly this afternoon so it's hard to know what will happen.
