Minny_Weather Posted March 5, 2018 Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 I must say, radar returns up North of us aren't garbage. This may be an overachiever. Still think those to our North and East have a better chance of eclipsing an inch. Quote Formerly *ahem*: LNK_Weather, TOL_Weather, FAR_Weather, MSP_Weather, IMoveALot_Weather.

gosaints Posted March 6, 2018 Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 Threaded the needle this afternoon here. Replay of radar really shows how fortunate we were here.

Minny_Weather Posted March 6, 2018 Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 Whatever snow we get will be tiny flakes and sloppy. Ugh. From a stats perspective, this is a good thing as it'll give us measurable snow in March. Quote Formerly *ahem*: LNK_Weather, TOL_Weather, FAR_Weather, MSP_Weather, IMoveALot_Weather.

Nelson Posted March 6, 2018 Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 Dry slot just about to hit here. Pure rippage for 2-3 hours - best of the season by far. I'd say we are around 3-4" just by looking outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most models show another 2” falling overnight. Will be the third event of at least 6” in the last 2 weeks. No complaints at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig-OmahaWX Posted March 6, 2018 Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 NWS upped amounts by an inch for us in the advisory. Should be interesting with 55 MPH gusts and 1-3 inches in the morning!

gimmesnow Posted March 6, 2018 Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 I was expecting a wet, sticky snow and it was pretty good for snowboarding.

Roads snow packed and lots of blowing snow.Radar looks good out in E NE right now. With the ULL spinning just to your E/NE, you guys are in an ideal spot to be in for the next few hours. I gotta say, this has been an amusing storm to track over the past week or so. I haven't seen a system like this in many years. It's funny how much blocking can throw curve balls. Just a couple days ago your area had now snow in the forecast and now your cashing in more snow than us over here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minny_Weather Posted March 6, 2018 Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 Woke up to a dusting here. Another moderate band incoming. Looks like that really heavy band will just miss me by about 5 miles.

Bryan1117 Posted March 6, 2018 Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 Is that band sitting across OMA legit?I am on the southwest side of the city, so haven't got into the really good stuff yet. Looks like some 35 dbz returns just to our north and west up towards Fremont... has to be rip city under that band. I can't even begin to estimate how much snow has fallen, maybe an inch to an inch and a half, as the snow is literally blowing around everywhere with the constant 40-45 mph wind gusts. Also the main eastbound Interstate highway through Omaha is closed (Interstate 80) due to a massive accident and white out conditions. Going to be a fun drive into work here in a little bit for myself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowshoe Posted March 6, 2018 Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 Heavy snow overnight. Easily the fastest snowfall rate of the winter. Unfortunately it was overnight because good pictures are hard to get in the dark. At least with my awful camera skills.

hlcater Posted March 6, 2018 Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 Snow was so heavy it weighed down the grass. So our 1”-1.5” is effectively covering the grass. Still expecting on and off snow showers today with maybe 0.5” more. It’s a pretty picturesque 1” though. 1 Quote 2021-22 Snowfall: (Hiawatha) TOTAL: 10.2" (12/28: 3.0") (12/29: 0.8") (1/1: 6.4") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minny_Weather Posted March 6, 2018 Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 What we have on the ground right now is pure cocaine. I'm pleasantly surprised as I went to bed thinking it'd be slop. I'd estimate about a half inch on the ground. May squeeze out 1-1.5" depending on where the heavy band goes and if it dissipates.

Tom Posted March 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 This system looks beautiful on GOES-16 satellite imagery...meanwhile, convective snow showers are blossoming across N IL and will add to the winter feel today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowshoe Posted March 6, 2018 Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 4" on average across my driveway. This was the snow i've been waiting for all of February. Unfortunately, the snowmobiles are tucked away for the summer after the recent rains and warmth. Still very pretty. 3 Quote WISCONSIN RAPIDS Wisconsin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowshoe Posted March 6, 2018 Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 I can't be the only one that mows the lawn really short in the fall just to make it easier for the snow to cover it completely. Snow was so heavy it weighed down the grass. So our 1”-1.5” is effectively covering the grass. Still expecting on and off snow showers today with maybe 0.5” more. It’s a pretty picturesque 1” though. 3 Quote WISCONSIN RAPIDS Wisconsin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
