Jan. 22nd-23rd Winter Storm

[Andie]

Odd down here.

 

61*

0 wind, nada.  After 30mh for 2 days

 

Humdity78%

Heavy overcast.

 

Another fine spring days in Texas!

[East Dubzz]

It is interesting that the radar shows absolutely nothing here, but there is definitely very light snow falling.

[CentralNebWeather]

Whoa, 1/2 visibility and heavy snow.  Finally.  Won't last long but a nice surprise at the end of a school day.

[hlcater]

HRRR is drying the system out. 20z only has 2-4" across Iowa at 5am. Still snowing sure, but a massive decrease from earlier runs, and it's a trend.

Just have to hope it’s not handling the QPF well. Seems to have missed the mark in Omaha, so who knows

[snowstorm83]

After the brief lull, it's looking like a snow globe again downtown.

[East Dubzz]

Nice band of snow (I’m assuming) developing around Cedar Rapids.

[Stormhunter87]

Yeah dry air definitely feeding but decent banding still to our sw. If they can beat the dry air then we are good for a bit still

[East Dubzz]

It’s interesting that the global models haven’t really backed off on amounts much, if at all.

 

I know you don’t want to rely on them too much at this point, but they usually start to catch on as the storm is in progress.

Geez.  The HRRR is really quite weak and disheveled with the deformation zone.  Down to 0.30" in CR?  Yikes!

[Hawkeye]

Nice band of snow (I’m assuming) developing around Cedar Rapids.

 

The problem is the band is just southeast of the city and the wind is coming from the nne.  We need the band to be in/north of the city.

[Minny_Weather]

Ripping insanely hard again. The band is finally moving East so it looks like we have a couple more hours of this heavy stuff before we go light for the rest of the storm. 22.5*F.

Yeah, I do see some development to the north as well. Hopefully it all continues to fill in.

 

The HRRR doesn’t look super great, but it didn’t perform well in western Iowa/Nebraska did it?

 

Seems as if the globals may have performed better over there, but I could be wrong.

[jaster220]

 

At least not a total shut-out of flakes..

[jaster220]

WWA headline extended an additional 8 hrs. Looks like WAA won't be as robust north of the border with IN as originally expected. Now IWX's headline reads like mine did 24 hrs ago. Always nice when things trend for the better

[Stormhunter87]

OAX is saying that the band to our south in Lincoln healthy enough to make it here and give us a shot at 4-6 overall

It definitely looks like that band is filling back in to our southwest. Let's hope it sticks together and gets us to that range... 

[Wartburger]

Crazy storm.  Looks like it might be further south than some of the models even had it.

 

Hard to believe this big of a change occurred last night.

[FV-Mike]

crazy ice out here. snow starting to mix in

[NH4NU]

I have to get my plug in for the EURO. It nailed this band for several days in E/SE Nebraska.

[james1976]

DMX shaved my county and others down to WWA. A whopping 1-3 event on the way and I'll be surprised if that happens.

[Bryan1117]

Some early reports are coming out on the snow that has already fallen today... 2.3 in Papillion and 2.0 in Lincoln. Looks like a general area of 2-3 inches of snow from just west of Lincoln right up the Interstate 80 corridor into Omaha. An additional 1-3 inches of snow certainly looks possible through the rest of the day in these same areas.

the euro had plenty of struggles with this one

[East Dubzz]

the euro had plenty of struggles with this one

Yeah, not sure I can point to one model and say it performed well.

 

That said, here’s to hoping the Euro is closer to the final solution than what the HRRR is showing!

[hlcater]

I'm stuck in a subsidence band right now in IC. Not sure how much this will cut into totals, but I'm sure it will at least a little bit. Looks to continue as well.

 

HRRR continues it for the next 3-4 hours. Absolutely awesome! 

[FV-Mike]

Lots of Chicago folks smack in the purple. Congrats to the people West and north of us. 

 

 

[gabel23]

I-80 corridor for another win! You guys in Omaha and Lincoln have been prime central for our weak sauce storms all winter it seems. Hoping when we cycle back to the beginning of the LRC we finally see a share the wealth storm.

[Tom]

Same here...temps aloft must be cooling bc I just drove by ORD and the freezing drizzle has turned to light snow.

[snowstorm83]

Lovin this storm, so beautiful out there. Good luck guys to our east this evening and tonight.

[james1976]

I love the dry air keeping that heavy band from getting to me.

[Bellona]

I love the dry air keeping that heavy band from getting to me.

Gotta love it. One of these days maybe we will get a decent storm. I think we will be lucky to see 3 out of this.

[Niko]

Snow here in SEMI currently w a couple of inches of snow expected b4 switching to ice and then plain rain by tomorrow am. Burbs of north of Detroit should be in the ice much longer, so I need to watch for any power outages in my area. I simply hate ice. Hopefully, the warm air arrives quickly and changes everything to rain.

 

Btw: Absolutely brutal, arctic air arriving mid week next week after the snowevent potential Sun-Mon. Colder than the one just experienced. The extended looks very snowy.

[Wartburger]

We finally have a dusting of pixie dust.

[East Dubzz]

Light snow here in DBQ, but I’m curious if it’s snowing heavier over at my house in E. DBQ.

[Niko]

Dew is currently at 17F and temp at 25F. I can see this being an icestorm for a while here. Those dews better start rising soon or else there will be some series issues here w the roads.

[BMT]

Perfect snowfall right now. Fluffing up nicely

[jcwxguy]

Nws, gonna bust high for Fremont, ne

[CentralNebWeather]

Under the heavy band here now. Nice.

[East Dubzz]

Coming down decently in Dubuque. Smaller flakes, but it would certainly accumulate if it consistently snowed at this rate.

[East Dubzz]

Considering we haven’t gotten that much snow (unless I missed something while I was at work), the roads aren’t really in very good shape.
