12k NAM teasing me with some backside action early Friday. Too bad the flow quickly takes the streamer(s) north of me once again like last year week..

Getting a convective snow squall coming this way. I hope it holds together as that'd be a once in a lifetime experience.

 

Just noticed that. If it holds together, I hope it's not pulling in warm air or something and falls as sleet. Only wondering since mixed precipitation is falling at such cold temps not too far south of here.

Looks like it's falling as snow down at the state line.

Whoever is in the DVN office tonight must have something mixed into their coffee...

 

They tweeted this earlier..

 

@NWSQuadCities: While the bigger threat for ice is coming later tonight, that freezing drizzle out there is still very slick! Watch your step or risk breaking your neck!

 

Their AFD update also said this...

 

“.UPDATE...

Issued at 912 PM CST Wed Feb 6 2019

 

The forecast generally remains on track, as the first round exited to the northeast, while the upcoming low passage and widespread round is set to arrive towards midnight. In between the steady upglide of waa over the cold air is producing drizzle east to freezing drizzle central and west. As noted in our previously salted parking lot, this stuff is in fact freezing. It`s not 100 covered, but what`s there might break your neck if you don`t see it.”

Holy hell, I'd pay money to be down in Beatrice for this right now. They're getting legit thunderstorm returns on radar. While what we're getting up here is cool and all, 30 dBZ readings happen in a lot of snowstorms.

Well the squall is out of here, so back to our off the radar snow. Flakes are a bit larger but that's not saying much considering the fact that they were pixie dust before. I think warm air aloft is messing with the flakes. 9.0°F.

Yeah it's coming down quite nicely too. Need to avoid radar returns because apparently that means sleet  :lol:
