February 9th - 11th - Plains "Chasing The Weenie Band" Thread

Recommended Posts

This is sort of a joke, but maybe it's best that us users out here start taking matters into our own hands with this storm. There is going to be a wee knee band somewhere around here, and were at the point where everyone in Chicago and Michigan are going to focus on themselves with this-- pretty sure they could care less about a 5" band 600 miles west while they are tracking a potent 17" storm in their area; I think we've annoyed them enough with our inevitable complaints that we all have from this storm and the past decade anyways.

 

That said, we can track our own  "storm" here, smash some brews, complain about whatever, make fun of snowlover76, it doesn't matter, cuz this is our thread boys. Let's do this.

Can never get too much snow over here in da Mitt, so don't mind if I follow along for fun  :lol:. After I came in from shoveling the past two day's snow, I was staring out the window trying to imagine how it could look come Sunday evening if all goes just right

18z GFS looks a bit less anemic, wide enough for both OMA and LNK to get in on the action. Also idk if this thread is serious or if this post is supposed to go in the Chicago/Michigan one.

Snowfall in Lincoln, NE:

2017-18: 21.4"   2018-19: 55.5"   2019-20: 17.6"   2020-21: 49.4"   2021-22: 5.1" 🤮

Average: 26"

I'm using it as a sh*tposting thread.

Looked outside and I have light snow falling and windy conditions but the radar shows nothing. Hope to get a few inches in the next couple of days, but thinking I am missed to the north and the wave tomorrow grazes me. Need that wave tomorrow to move north just a little more. Temperature at 13, winds gusting to 25 mph makes the wind chill -6.

I wasn't supposed to get anything until later today or tonight, but have had light snow for over 2 hours with nothing showing up on radar, strange.  Roads are partly covered with blowing snow.  I think these next couple of days will be radar watching as the bands that show up are razor thin and seem to be in different spots on different models.  There may be fluctuations in amounts from one side of a county to the other side in this setup.

My adventures have taken me to Yutan, NE today. Light snow right now but decent sized flakes. I may have to cut my day short with the band that's coming towards here. My POS car can hardly handle an inch of snow so I'd rather not get stranded in Yutan.

Yeah they might be in a good spot there too i think. Though HRRR looks glorious for a Lincoln ravaging.

Yeah it's showing WSW level snow for here tonight. Perhaps the biggest storm total since 2011-2012 when we got 11.1".

 

HRRR is the best this close in. The 3k NAM is usually second. Honestly though, the RGEM nailed the last storm around here, and it absolutely dumps on us tonight. It’ll be interesting to see what happens, the HRRR has had a 7” snow band over LNK for 4 runs now.

Just made an emergency firewood run. I feel like I may be pulling an all nighter tonight. I'll have to make an emergency snack run later I think.

Got my pre workout ready. Gunna track the shyt outta this thing. Not gunna miss a D**n second if the models are right.

We all know that trolling us arouses you, you don't need to tell us.

 

OAX is going with a WWA for 2-4". Think they're giving the conservative models too much credit.

 

RAP, HRRR, and RGEM all show 6+, and have all day. 3k NAM is bouncing back and forth, and yet they're siding with it, despite it sucking within 12 hrs. They're going to fall flat on their face somewhere in this area. I hope it's us, this could be a hidden gem.

GFS is way less efficient with the snow. Not sure what it does but it's less impressed with the weenie band (it still shows a weenie band).

 

OAX thinks that the snow will accumulate pretty efficiently. Cuz it will. Nothing is stopping it besides maybe dry air.
