FarmerRick Posted December 1, 2018 Report Share Posted December 1, 2018 1.30" rain on my gauge since yesterday afternoon. Had to shovel the inch of slush off my driveway in case we actually get any freezing temps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CentralNebWeather Posted December 1, 2018 Report Share Posted December 1, 2018 Snow really picking back up again. Nice snow moving to the Southwest into my area.

Minny_Weather Posted December 1, 2018 Report Share Posted December 1, 2018 Still complete mist. It's amazing how the low was supposed to be past KC by this time and it's still located over Smith Center, KS. I'm waiting patiently for the SLP to move, mainly because we need temps to fall a bit more. 35.1*F. Quote Formerly *ahem*: LNK_Weather, TOL_Weather, FAR_Weather, MSP_Weather, IMoveALot_Weather.

clintbeed1993 Posted December 1, 2018 Report Share Posted December 1, 2018 Had 3 inches of rain and was in the perfect location for precip pivot only to have dry air come in after a dusting of snow and completely cut off precip for the last 4 hours. Needless to say I'm extremely pissed off. It's cool to see the strength of this bad boy though, not often you get 3 inches of rain on December 1st. It's crawling in Central Kansas still, so I'm sure they'll be some wraparound yet. NWS thinks the totals are too high now, what a bummer. Congrats to CentralNebWeather, you've seen way more than any Nebraska poster out of this. All that heavy precip that hit me as rain moved west and hit you as snow.

Minny_Weather Posted December 1, 2018 Report Share Posted December 1, 2018 The rain the City is receiving is expected to turn to snow before midnight. Twenty City crews will begin treating arterials at 4 p.m. They will use a light application of granular salt pre-wet with brine to help prevent snow and ice from bonding to the pavement. Additional crews are on stand-by to be called in if needed. Drivers are urged to slow down and allow plenty of following distance as winter conditions develop.City of Lincoln snow division's latest statement.

Hastings just put out a picture out on Twitter of the mid level dry air that is really hurting snow amounts. I don’t remember anyone talking about this possibility.

Stormhunter87 Posted December 1, 2018 Report Share Posted December 1, 2018 Plus why I said the upper air is colder is because it was snowing and sleeting earlier with temps at 36-37 ground level.

Minny_Weather Posted December 1, 2018 Report Share Posted December 1, 2018 OAX. Ignore the time stamp, this is the afternoon disco .SHORT TERM...(Today through Monday)Issued at 333 AM CST Sat Dec 1 2018This storm system continues to impress with its complexity, andhave continued to attempt to adapt the forecast to match up withthe latest trends in observational and model data. In terms ofwhat has happened so far, snow amounts range wildly even acrossareas that have seen persistent snow fall. Melting has played ahuge role that seems to be magnified by the rain that fell priorto snow, and also by the relative warmth of the snowflakes thatare falling through a fairly deep warm layer above the surface.The end result has been that snowfall predictions seem to havebeen pretty accurate but some of the snow accumulation amounts onthe ground have been on the low end so far, owing to that melting.That said, several reports in the 5-6 inch range have come in tothe office, and expect a slow but steady accumulation ofadditional light to moderate snow in these areas all the waythrough Sunday.Would like to focus on 3 key areas for the forecast through therest of Sunday. The first is in far northeast Nebraska where 2-7inches of snow has fallen by now. There is a strong signal forpersistent light to moderate snow over the next 12 hours or so andeven into the day on Sunday. Deformation and mid levelfrontogenesis will remain focused in this area for a prolongedperiod with very little movement of the overall storm system. Doexpect a banded area within this region to total out in the 9-12inch range by the time its all winding down.The second area of focus is what is expected to be a relativelypersistent band of moderate snow extending from around David Cityand Columbus up through Stanton, Wayne, and West Point. While itmay fluctuate west or east of this axis with time, it shouldremain in the general vicinity and lead to several additionalinches of snowfall through tonight before it weakens anddissipates.The third area, and perhaps the biggest change in the forecast isover southeast Nebraska up toward Omaha and into southwest Iowa.It has become increasingly apparent over recent model andobservational data that the zone immediately northwest and west ofthe low will be a focus for moderate precipitation through aroundsunrise on Sunday. That will lead to a prolonged period of whatshould be a majority of snow that pivots and focuses in thegeneral Nebraska City and Shenandoah areas. This band will bebetween 50-100 miles wide for much of its lifetime and at leastinitially surface temperatures will be warmer than freezing. Thedifference between this snow and the snow of this morning is thatit will fall at night which favors slightly better accumulationbut will still experience some melting. At this time have gonewith a 2-6 inch prediction and also expanded the advisory acrossthe remainder of the CWA, but will need to closely monitor trendsas it is not out of the question that some of these areas couldend up exceeding 6 inches by Sunday morning in what is a verydelicate forecast of snowfall vs. snowmelt.Sunday into Sunday evening will feature periods of light snowmoving across the entire forecast area and gradually coming to anend from northwest to southeast by late in the day. Winds willcontinue to gust in the 20-30 mph range through the day withcooler temperatures steadily building into the region. 1 Quote Formerly *ahem*: LNK_Weather, TOL_Weather, FAR_Weather, MSP_Weather, IMoveALot_Weather.
