bud2380 Posted March 5, 2018 Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 i heard a rumble of thunder just a minute ago. Snow is coming down lightly here though at last check. Might still be mixing with just about everything right now though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye Posted March 5, 2018 Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 Yeah, I heard the crack of thunder, here. Our precip is trying to change to snow now, although the sleet doesn't want to leave.

NEJeremy Posted March 5, 2018 Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 Even Omaha is now in a WWA for 1-2” of snow and considerable blowing snow... not sure what to think about it in reality... really sick of these nickel and dimers.I believe Omaha signed up for some kind of contract where nickel and dimers are all we're allowed to have now. Started a couple of years ago, and runs through the winter of 2020 at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormgeek Posted March 5, 2018 Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 One thing that looks to have been glazed over slightly is the impact of the winds with this thing. Multiple gusts in the high 40's and even some 50's have been reported. I can't imagine out in south central MN right now.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawkeye Posted March 5, 2018 Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 We've changed over to all snow, but so far it has been light. Just in the last few minutes, larger flakes have been mixing in and increasing. Radar shows we will only have about an hour of snow, which will make it difficult to exceed an inch.

Jaycee Posted March 5, 2018 Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 Legit blizzard conditions. Been a long time.. GoSaints, if you would be so kind to take a video and post it here I would actually really appreciate it. It looks insane on radar up there and I'd love to see the blizzard conditions, as it's been a really long time for us too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bud2380 Posted March 5, 2018 Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 Snow is sticking here. I'd agree that there is little chance of getting anything over 1". Even getting to 1" might be difficult, but at least it's snowing. I think areas further east in Iowa, especially northeast Iowa could get a few inches or more though.

Jaycee Posted March 5, 2018 Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 Dont have any video. Traveling backroads at not very fast.... KRST was at .15 vis last hour... No worries. I have family in Red Wing and they're going to send me some, it just looks like the best banding is setting up SE of there. What a crazy storm. Even if it doesn't amount to much, I'd take a quick 5-8" thundersnow over a 10" clipper with moderate rates. Thundersnow is amazing. Awesome that you guys are having some. Just checked out Rochester's snapchat story. Good god man, you aren't lying. It's absolutely RIPPING out there! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CentralNebWeather Posted March 5, 2018 Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 NWS Hastings just reporting on their Twitter page that there are 2 out of control fires, one in Furnas County (just southwest of me in Central Nebraska) and one in Smith County (north central Kansas). Can't even imagine what that would be like with winds gusting over 60 MPH to try and fight these. I am not seeing in smoke as it would be pushed to the Southeast.

This is honestly the worst day of weather I think all year. Incredible wind, cold, and just brown and dry to top it off.

St Paul Storm Posted March 5, 2018 Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 MPX saying blizzard potential if the defo band sits too long over an area. Parts of the area are in a prime spot to sit on the pivot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bud2380 Posted March 5, 2018 Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 Red Wing to just south of Minneapolis sure looks like they are getting blasted right now. And snow moving east to west, which is a dream if you want a long duration snow event. That pretty much never happens where I live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gimmesnow Posted March 5, 2018 Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 So, looks like another band wants to get going over central Iowa. And they postponed the snow from 5 to 6. Is this thing slowing down and gaining more energy or am I just hopelessly stuck on winter? Nothing here in se Wisconsin yet, waiting here on the hill, wind makes for an interesting lift ride.

Hawkeye Posted March 5, 2018 Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 It's too bad the precip is nearly done, here, because it just recently got good. Large flakes are pouring down pretty good.

Tom Posted March 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 Does the snow have any fluff factor for those in MN??? Temps in the upper 20's seem to be good enough for a powdery type snow.
