FarmerRick Posted February 23, 2019 Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 Radar is looking good. I can see it starting to cut on US radar. Precip is still mostly confined to KS but that shouldn't be the case soon. It's looking good, but seems to be moving slower than expected. Rain is just now hitting the NE/KS border south of Omaha. Thought we were supposed to be getting some rain by now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, a slower storm could mean higher totals. 2 Quote Formerly *ahem*: LNK_Weather, TOL_Weather, FAR_Weather, MSP_Weather, IMoveALot_Weather.

Bryan1117 Posted February 23, 2019 Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 So what are you Lincoln/Omaha guys expecting in your yards and what is the amount that you'd be disappointed with if you didn't reach it?I am expecting 7-8 inches of snow in my backyard from this quick-moving but intense system... I guess I would be pretty disappointed with anything less than 6" from this system at this point. It's going to be impossible to get an accurate measurement of how much falls either way, so if it is close, it shouldn't matter much.
