Very nice score on the weenie band… we are missing out here with only about a 1/2” here in Southwest Omaha so far. 

[Clinton]

Decent weather day for mby, fog this morning should turn into a sunny breezy day with a high near 60.  Big storm potential possible later in the week so I started a thread for it.

[jcwxguy]

About 6" grassy areas.  Only 4 to 4.5" on concrete though

It is a very frosty morning here in MBY the current temperature with all that frost is 26. Yesterday the official H/L at GR was 37/32 there was 0.89” of precipitation and 0.2” of snow fall. There was no sun. For today the average H/L is now up to 49/30 the record high of 77 was set in 1976 and the record low of 6 was in 1996. The most snow fall of 10.2” fell in 1970. Last year the H/L was a cool 34/25 and there was 0.5” of snow fall. The next week looks to be on the cooler side of average with a one day warm up on Friday. And there are several chances of rain and snow and maybe even a thunderstorm.

This system is tracking a bit farther north than most models were predicting, so I'm getting nothing.

one of those systems where 20-30 miles makes a big difference. 

[jcwxguy]

based off reports so far

 

[CentralNebWeather]

Looks like around 6” on the ground as of 8 am.   Came in 2 rounds, and I know there was some melting in between during last evening when the temperature was at 32.

Winter wonderland in Central Nebraska on this fine Sunday morning.

the weenie band

[CentralNebWeather]

We just got a text that the power is out at our church on the north side of town m, so the service is cancelled. Heavy snow must have done some issues with power lines.
Now hearing no power on the west side of town. Thankfully we have power as we are located on the east side of town.

We have received 1.30" of rain over the last 3 days -still leaving us 2.80" below normal so far here in 2023. A beautiful day today with high temps well into the 50's to near 60 degrees. This will be our last above average day till Friday. Rain chances increase again by late tomorrow afternoon but sun will return for much of the week before more rain chances by Friday.

Records for today: High 84 (1921) / Low 18 (1951) / Rain 2.03" (1978) / Snow 2.0" (1900)

[Andie]

From our view on the roof we have 57*.  Partly cloudy skies.  Nice day! 

[CentralNebWeather]

I’m just southwest of Kearney on this map. 

[Hawkeye]

The weenie band continues into central Iowa.  These late March systems mean business.

[CentralNebWeather]

I’m now in another Winter Weather Advisory for tomorrow. Spring has disappeared. 

 

[gabel23]

I was in Omaha all weekend so I missed out on the snow. My area was one of the big winners too with reports ranging from 8-10. Got home about 430 and maybe 3” remain. Amazing what the March sun does. Biggy seems to be looming on the horizon Easter weekend. Will see if that stays. 

[Madtown]

looks a little snowy from Thurs onward up thus way, down to around 24" on the ground

[westMJim]

Yesterday was exactly average with a HL of 49/30 there was 0.16” of rain fall and no snowfall. The overnight low here in MBY and current temperature is 34. For today the average H/L remains at 49/30 the record high of 81 was set in 1945 and the record low of 0 was set in 1965. The record snow fall of 6.9” fell in 1948. Last year it was cold with a H/L of 29/20 that high of 29 was the 4^th coldest for this date. The next 5 days look to be near average with a one day warm up on Friday. Friday looks like it could be wet. In looking outside there is a trace of new snow fall on the ground here and for the season Grand Rapids is now at 109.4"

The Rolling Fork, Ms tornado could have been lessened and possibly eliminated altogether if Aquariusradar had been developed and put into action in this devastating loss of life and property. Visit Aquariusradar

0z Euro suggesting Ol' Man Winter not letting go for our friends up north...my goodness, it's like the "Upper MW Glacier" that won't go away so easily this season.

One word today sums up the importance weather preparation:  Mississippi.

We now have more snow on the ground than Northern Nebraska.  They remarkably missed out on the storm over the weekend that hit my area among others.  They haven't missed many storms this year.

It's a cold Winter's day in Kearney today...

[gimmesnow]

Was up in Hurley snowboardidng Whitecap Mountains, what an awesome place. Definitely under rated, awesome spring conditions for their last weekend. Going to be there next winter for sure. Snow was great, missed the snow down here but almost all the resorts were closed anyways. Next weekend doing Lutsen, looks like it actually might be pretty awesome. GFS already showing something great for us at Lutsen next weekend.

Gross. Hope not. My grids have 30s this week and then 40s/low 50s so hopefully whatever falls will be rain.

[chescowxman]

A sunny start to the week but clouds increase and some rain by late today. Dry and cooler most of the week before warmer weather by Friday but also rain Friday night into Saturday...but may approach 70 degrees in the rain on Saturday!

Records for today: High 85 (1921) / Low 17 (1982) / Rain 1.85" (1983) / Snow 1.5" (1959)

[Hawkeye]

GFS temp forecast for Friday.  

[CentralNebWeather]

Still have 3-4" of snow on the ground from our weekend storm, and snow has just begun for today for the WWA we are in.  Snow will be a distant memory Wed. into Thurs., but others chances potentially show up in the next 10 days or so.

[CentralNebWeather]

Heavy snow falling, 1/2 mile visibility or less.  Not really accumulating much on the streets that I can tell, but just adding to our 3-4" base.  Might get kind of dicey on the roads again this evening.  

[Niko]

Hello from NYC. Here the weather is kinda coolish w some showers expected to arrive tanite. Temp attm near 51. I saw some flowers blooming here yesterday, which is kinda odd. A little too early. Here for business and pleasure and hopefully, the week gets warmer but from what I am seeing, looks like the highest readings will top in the upper 50s at some point and then fall into the 40s for highs and lows in the 30s.

Meanwhile here in Omaha, our "EPIC" March continues as we sit at around 1.5" of snowfall for the month officially (OmahaSnowFan called it at the start of the month that we would only end up with 2" total LOL). What's more frustrating outside of the cold and nuisance snow showers is that we are quickly falling behind on moisture again (only 0.82" for the month so far) as the bulk of the moisture and action continues to miss us to the west, north, east, and south. 

This lousy pattern doesn't seem like it's going to budge and it doesn't give me much hope that things are going to change during spring. 

[westMJim]

Yesterday was a rather nice late March day, While this year had been mostly above average in the temperature department there have not been any real warm days yet this year. The warmest so far at Grand Rapids is just 54 back on February 14th At Lansing the 58 on the same day is the warmest and at Muskegon it topped out at 59. We shall see how warm we get on Friday

The official H/L at Grand Rapids yesterday was 50/33 there was 013” of rain fall and 0.1” of snow fall. So far the overnight low here in MBY has fallen to 25. For today the average H/L is now up to 50/31 the record high of 78 was set in 1905 and the record low of 8 was set in 1923. The record snow fall of 3.3” fell in 1947. Last year today was a very cold day with the H/L of 33/17 That high of 33 is the 4th coldest and the low of 17 is the 8th coldest for this date. It looks like March will go out like a lion this year.
