East Dubzz Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 All one has to do is compare yesterdays 18z run of the NAM to what its going to spit out now to see how goofy this hobby is..That’s what it’s all about though! Wouldn’t be any fun if we knew exactly what we were gonna get days in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gimmesnow Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 All one has to do is compare yesterdays 18z run of the NAM to what its going to spit out now to see how goofy this hobby is.. It is silly but some of us have other hobbies riding on this one. I snowboard and snowmobile and following this stuff is a lot of fun when you have all of that on the line. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryan1117 Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 Just freezing drizzle here in Omaha with no snow to speak of... this system has turned out to be an absolute bust for Nebraska as a whole. I am thankful that we were able to sneak in some snow last weekend... that makes missing this one sting a whole lot less. Good luck to all of you out to the East with this one. I am out on this dud of a storm for my local area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

East Dubzz Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 Latest HRRR seems to have that dry moat filling in faster than the previous run showed. Not dramatically, but there’s a decent difference at 00z on this run compared to the last. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 Nice flakes flying here in the city...no pixie dust...hopefully this band fills into N IL over the next few hours. Signs the storm is beginning to phase as moisture is starting to blossom down in MO/KS. SW/NE orientation on radar looks like it should be a long evening of snowfall around here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzcoat Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 Radar is decieving here on S side of DSM. Mainly columns. Poor crystal formation. No way that bullseye on latest Rap happens if it stays like this but in just writing this flake shape has improved.

East Dubzz Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 Radar shows some snow right now, but nothing is currently falling.
