Hawkeye Posted March 7, 2019 Report Share Posted March 7, 2019 Dang, the HRRR keeps ramping up that narrow band. The 03z run has Lincoln up to near 0.50". This could be a real nice surprise for you guys. However, I just noticed the band on radar is even farther south than the latest HRRR depiction, so maybe the best snow will fall south of Lincoln?

Minny_Weather Posted March 7, 2019 Report Share Posted March 7, 2019 Lincoln and seward counties added to advisoryLancaster County*. Lincoln county is in Western Nebraska. That's just a trigger for me, sorry! Radar is still set up way South of models. No man's land between here and Beatrice looks to be the jack zone. I just hope the airport gets measureable snow. Other than that I don't really care how much I get. Quote Formerly *ahem*: LNK_Weather, TOL_Weather, FAR_Weather, MSP_Weather, IMoveALot_Weather.

clintbeed1993 Posted March 7, 2019 Report Share Posted March 7, 2019 Well it looks like my reverse psychology worked! Grand Island has finally been thrown a bone after miss after miss. It has been puking snow for 3 hours and we have at least 4 inches. It's still snowing at a good clip. We were only expecting 1 inch. The fact that this band is so narrow makes it a lot sweeter. It's exactly what every other area of the state got to experience. Now I'm just mad that it's happening a couple days before temps get above freezing for the first time in almost a month. Feels good to live in jack city for a night finally. I've been outside enjoying this. Enjoy some mediocre pics that don't do it justice. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gabel23 Posted March 7, 2019 Report Share Posted March 7, 2019 Gotta a meso out of this band, it means business! Snowing moderately here and hoping it stays together! Mesoscale Discussion 0160 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1209 AM CST Thu Mar 07 2019 Areas affected...Central Nebraska into Southeast Nebraska Concerning...Heavy snow Valid 070609Z - 070845Z SUMMARY...Moderate to heavy snow is expected to continue for a few more hours across Nebraska. DISCUSSION...Moderate to heavy snow has developed across central to southeast Nebraska beneath an area of strong frontogenesis and isentropic ascent. Snowfall rates are likely at their peak intensity now through the next few hours with slowly lessening snowfall rates by dawn as lower tropospheric flow veers. Snowfall rates up to 2 inches per hour are likely occurring beneath the heaviest snow band, but the transitory nature of this band and the short duration of peak intensity will limit additional accumulations overall. ..Bentley.. 03/07/2019 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minny_Weather Posted March 7, 2019 Report Share Posted March 7, 2019 Went out and measured 3.5". We didn't need this snow (nor is it a convenient day for me personally) but I'll take it as a stat padder. There were also a couple of bare areas that popped up in areas that were disturbed during the blizzard so this worked to cover those back up. 25.3*F.

bud2380 Posted March 7, 2019 Report Share Posted March 7, 2019 Looks like the Euro was exactly right on this entire time, at least in Eastern Iowa. The GFS should issue a formal apology. As should the NWS for calling it an outlier. It's likely I won't see a flake of snow today, despite being under a winter weather advisory for some reason. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OmahaSnowFan Posted March 7, 2019 Report Share Posted March 7, 2019 Ended with slightly under 6" here in gretna. Saw a 5" report in papillon about an hour ago, so maybe more thereYou doubled me again as I got "hosed" once again. Woke up around 5a and checked the radar to see the heavy yellow band across the southern metro and watched it as it weakened while lifting north towards my neighborhood, the yellows drying up maybe a couple of miles from my house. I'm up off of 680 and Irvington exit. I maybe hit 3" but most spots were 2.5". Seeing most of town south of me in that 4-6" range.The same thing happened with our blizzard where the heavy returns refused to cross I-680 a mile from my house and I ended up with 7" total while I believe you said you were over 12" and most of town was around 9".Crazy how that seems to always work out one way or the other for a season. Either you're always getting the high amounts or it seems like you're always on the lower end. Of course snowfall is never a uniform blanket of amounts, but it's been weird to see the heavy returns get within a mile or two of my location and refuse to move over my house.

OmahaSnowFan Posted March 7, 2019 Report Share Posted March 7, 2019 Roads around Lincoln are nearly perfect, btw. Funny how this un-predicted event resulted in clear to slush-covered roads immediately after, yet a storm which we had 2-3 days to prepare for resulted in 4 days of icy and snow-packed roads.I know the reason why roads were so much worse here was for two reasons. First we had rather heavy freezing rain/sleet before the snow so that laid down a layer of ice/cement first.Second, with how heavy the snow was coming down along with the winds, the city said they were only doing main roads and only worried about trying to plow versus treating the roads. They also weren't able to pretreat as well due to the rain/slop that fell first.We had no school on that Monday after the blizzard and there were still quite a bit of issues on Tuesday for the school buses, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormy Posted March 8, 2019 Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 I'm back after an extremely busy week, but things have slowed down some for now.Anyway, this system underperformed (from what most models showed earlier & the NWS forecast) for my area with only 1" of fluffy dentrites accumulating here yesterday or 0.03" liquid. Looking like an active wet week ahead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
