Hawkeye Posted February 15, 2019 Report Share Posted February 15, 2019 12z FV3...likely over juiced but the take-away is that the 2nd wave is holding together better over here...

Minny_Weather Posted February 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2019 Omaha and Lincoln deserve nothing out of this. You guys have gotten 3 or 4 snow events just like this where my area didn't see even an inch. It's my turn to enjoy something. Took a walk for an hour while the best returns were here. Had moderate to heavy snow and good flake size for a bit. Probably around 3 inches with the back edge now approaching.Uhhhhhhhh..

snowstorm83 Posted February 15, 2019 Report Share Posted February 15, 2019 Moderate/heavy snow right now, but flake size is small.

CentralNebWeather Posted February 15, 2019 Report Share Posted February 15, 2019 I am in KC now so not official, but people I follow on Twitter from Central Nebraska saying my area is 4-5”. Still looking for more information. Local radio Twitter said 4.3 as of 9:30 am. If it is 5” it would be our first 2nd largest snow of the season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think SMI west and east is SOL for snow for awhile. Nah. I said b4 2nd wave gonna be a 1-2" deal, and most models continue that theme. NAM and jacked-up F(unny)V(s)3 aside.

brianc400 Posted February 15, 2019 Report Share Posted February 15, 2019 They probably need to tweak the FV3's juiciness down before it goes operational in March. With only a month left, I would not expect any more tweaks. Such tweaks in complex models of any type (economics, social, etc.) do not stand alone. A "fix" to the juiciness here has some effect in other aspects of the model, perhaps not even directly related to the QPF. It might be easier or more likely for the forecasters to mentally adjust the suggestion of the model, or to simply favor other models for the amount of moisture. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bud2380 Posted February 15, 2019 Report Share Posted February 15, 2019 Looks like a classic 2-4/3-5" storm in Iowa. Not bad.

snowstorm83 Posted February 15, 2019 Report Share Posted February 15, 2019 Nebraska’s climo sucks. It’s astonishing the amount of people in here that forget that. That's a bit true. NE is a bit drier than areas to the east in the winter, so I do generally expect less than places like Iowa and Chicago. We're at the same latitude, but storm track (especially clippers) tend to favor you guys. OTOH, there's no denying it's still been a terrible stretch, especially for Eastern NE. This is the first above average season in Lincoln since 2012-13. Areas like North Platte, Grand Island, and Norfolk have all scored big multiple times. The gap in average snowfall between Omaha and Des Moines is currently the widest it's ever been in history, when Omaha used to generally average around the same to a few inches less and now the difference is like 10". 2 Quote Snowfall in Lincoln, NE: 2017-18: 21.4" 2018-19: 55.5" 2019-20: 17.6" 2020-21: 49.4" 2021-22: 5.1" Average: 26" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pack402 Posted February 15, 2019 Report Share Posted February 15, 2019 I love snow and fondly remember much better systems each year growing up in eastern ne in the 80’s. I come here to look at maps and discussion on upcoming systems. When someone says someone isn’t deserving of what comes their way is insane to me. We have a complaint section for that garbage. Congrats to all who saw snow today. I could count the flakes as they fell but that’s life. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gabel23 Posted February 15, 2019 Report Share Posted February 15, 2019 Totally going off eye balling but looks like somewhere between 3-4" of snow. Forecast for my area was calling for 3-5" so I would say they nailed it! I thought I was going to miss out with that dry air to the north east inching ever so closely to my county. I'll take it though; been too long staring at brown grass all winter long good nice to finally have some white around! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
