2/23 - 2/24 Central Plains/Midwest Blizzard

[Bryan1117]

It appears we have added 4-6" already from eyeballing out my classroom meeting.

Wow talk about reeling one in. Congrats on being in the sweet spot, couldn’t ask to be in a better spot for this.

Holy smokes that's insane! You had to get snow rates upwards of 2" an hour congrats man! Meanwhile, Hastings appears to think the blizzard will stop just 20 miles to my south east and we will only expect advisory snows in my area.........WOW. 

[St Paul Storm]

18z NAM is up to no good as usual

Dude sound the siren. You’re gonna be buried.

[Craig-OmahaWX]

Wow this is insane. The bulk of this literally accumulates in 3-4 hours! The thunder snow dynamics are off the charts!

[St Paul Storm]

And if the 3km is to be trusted, we’re both gonna be hit hard. Tough call for MPX regarding the metro.

[gabel23]

Well congrats to the I-80 corridor, you score yet again. This should get both Omaha/Lincoln their snowiest Feb. ever and possibly push you into top 3 snowiest winters? Crazy how razor thin this snow line is gonna be. Shouldn't take much more of a shift to the northwest to get me into the action.

The way the snow shield aligns if I get hit you get hit. Good luck to both of us, I'm only a county away from being included in the blizzard warning. In the past I have seen it change for better and for worse the day of the storm so I'm holding on hope for tomorrow. 

[Craig-OmahaWX]

Purple to light blues have the highest thunder snow potential:

If nothing else hopefully the posts are narrowed enough that the good are delivered somewhere close to here

“Chasing the seasons most intense defo band”...wow, while very tight and compact, this is going to be one heckova system.

[Madtown]

hows vilas cty looking?

We have over a foot now on the ground with previous snowpack. Winds tomorrow with falling snow should warrant a warning for you and I. Let’s see if one gets issued tomorrow.

[CentralNebWeather]

I think we may be in for more surprises. We were forecasted to receive anything close to what we have gotten so far.

[FarmerRick]

Kearney getting whalloped too.

[CentralNebWeather]

NAM looks north. Snow is spreading up to me on the 18z runs. Another late surprise this season? What a crazy winter.

[CentralNebWeather]

Hearing reports of cars stuck on Highway 183 north of Holdrege and multiple accidents on Kearney’s busiest north south street.

[Cfweather]

Can someone post a euro ice map for Iowa? Please

Here you go...

[gabel23]

This is a perfect track for the Eastern half of Nebraska to get heavy snow. I guess we shall see how mother nature will play this out; I'm hoping the heavier snow band ends up being wider than projected.

FSD blizzards warnings E part of CWA

[East Dubzz]

Apparently supposed to get between 0.10 - 0.25” of ice tonight. Luckily it’ll be at a time where nobody is really traveling and should go above freezing by tomorrow morning.

18z gfs vs fv3

[CentralNebWeather]

18z gfs

Very thin. 30 miles either way you are happy or bummed.

DMX Blizzard warnings for W/C CWA

[Craig-OmahaWX]

Holy cow!!!!

 

[Tom]

DMX Blizzard warnings for W/C CWA

"Here Blizzard, Blizzard, Blizzard"...wonder how many more are yet to come this season...something tells me we ain't done after this one...

[East Dubzz]

Holy cow!!!!

 

Lol FV3 at it again!

[Bellona]

Not caring for my chances here in Waterloo. Oh well. Still could change I guess.

[Stormhunter87]

Not that the fv3 has been good this year but that output would be sick! Also love how the GFS ain't moving at all.

I'm hoping the GFS wins out; not just for the reason it hits me the hardest but it has more share the wealth. 

[ToastedRavs]

Euro still my hero. I still think it'll be to SE of GFS as it won't deepen as quick. Just my two cents

 

Omaha and Nebraska like GFS. Des Moines and Iowa like the European. Imagine that. Ha! WI and MN could care less. Both hit them hard

[gabel23]

Weird looking map, again I guess Hastings NWS thinks the blizzard will skip part of our CWA. Goodland has issued a blizzard warning. 

[OmahaSnowFan]

I downloaded a clip of the radar during that heavy snow this afternoon. Not too often you see those colors on the radar during a snowfall!

Many of the models have shown this. I hope they aren’t accurate and look more like the Euro and GFS.

I’ve lived here long enough to know there can be last minute changes to these maps, good and bad. Stay tuned, there may still be a surprise or two.

Atleast you've scored several times with freak heavy snow already.  Gabel and I continue the misery of somehow being split by every heavy snow event.

It is amazing how many times you guys have been missed this year. I know how you feel, there were years I got missed in every direction.
