jaster220 8344 Posted January 1, 2020 Report Share Posted January 1, 2020 This is one year I wish I had my own rain gauge.

OKwx2k4 4220 Posted January 1, 2020 Report Share Posted January 1, 2020 Preliminary amounts being .10-.20 below 75" for 1-1-2019 to 12-31-2019 here would likely make it calendar year tied for #2 or the number one wettest year in my county's history. What a way to close out a decade that began with standing heatwaves, persistent 20-plus-month droughts, dried lakes, streams and rivers, along with wildfires in our region. Began with tornadoes here in Eastern Ok and ended on the same note in that regard. What a year 2019 was! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
OmahaSnowFan 1386 Posted January 1, 2020 Report Share Posted January 1, 2020 Omaha airport had 39.91” of rain, 11th wettest year on record.Unfortunately my wireless weather station has an issue with the accuracy of rainfall amounts so I can’t use what that says for 2019. I’ve done some calibration so we’ll see how 2020 does 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
snowstorm83 2042 Posted January 1, 2020 Report Share Posted January 1, 2020 Very detailed page from GRI. I wish OAX would do stuff like this. Dannebrog, Nebraska (north of Grand Island) had 49.46" this year. That's really crazy for so far west, it's probably about double the average. https://www.weather.gov/gid/2019annualclimate 1 Quote Snowfall in Lincoln, NE: 2017-18: 21.4" 2018-19: 55.5" 2019-20: 17.6" 2020-21: 49.4" (so far) Average: 25.9" Link to post Share on other sites

I wish all nws offices would do a "Year In Review" each year and a decade each decade as well. They help me fill the holes in my memory sometimes when I research.My reporting station at Holdrege, which is east of town at the airport, recorded 36.96” which is almost 10 inches above normal. This map actually has the town at 40-45”. My personal gauge at my house was over 42” for the year. Obviously not official, but we know how amounts can vary over a relatively short distance. I concur, I love that NWS Hastings does this. They will at some point put out the yearly snowfall map. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky 1778 Posted January 14, 2020 Report Share Posted January 14, 2020 I woudn't mind living in eastern Oklahoma. I would see plenty of storms and heavy rain, which I love. The panhandle would be too boring.Yep, to dry all along the high plains = boring. Eastern Ok. and Ks. can be wild, but also have long dry/hot periods sometimes in the summer, more so than Iowa. I sometimes think I'ld like living in OKWX's area. Quote ‘20 - ‘21 season snowfall = 39.3” Link to post Share on other sites

Eastern Ok. and Ks. can be wild, but also have long dry/hot periods sometimes in the summer, more so than Iowa. I sometimes think I'ld like living in OKWX's area.I absolutely love my area, honestly. I just wish sometimes I could move it somewhere where it snows 12"+ as an average and 3" as a 1 in 10 year minimum. Even in the summer here, if you hate heat and humidity, there's forests, caves, creeks, lakes everywhere here. Something within 10 miles anyway. I gripe a good bit but if it wasn't for all of the wacky and dynamic weather in this little area, I wouldn't have the love and awe but great respect of the weather I do. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tom 16887 Posted April 12, 2020 Report Share Posted April 12, 2020 Are we heading towards another WET year??? If the CFSv2/JMA/Euro seasonal forecasts are right, the central CONUS could be heading towards another active year. The latest CFSv2 trends for May are quite wet. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bryan1117 960 Posted June 8, 2020 Report Share Posted June 8, 2020 So far at the Omaha Eppley Airfield reporting station, the total precipitation for the year so far is at 7.28 inches... which is 5.09 inches below normal (12.37 is the normal through June 7th). Really hoping we can score the 1 to 3 inches of rain predicted for tomorrow and Wednesday, because it doesn't look like there will be much more rainfall in the region for a while after that (with cooler temperatures thankfully though)... that's a perfect recipe for the beginning of a drought . 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This will probably be the last "Garden of Eden" summer here for a few years also. Lots of changes underway. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Niko 7225 Posted June 15, 2020 Report Share Posted June 15, 2020 My area can still use some rainfall. It has been continuously dry and I think we are in the "Abnormally Dry Catogory." Quote Snowfall as of today: Feb, 2021: 41.2" Link to post Share on other sites
Niko 7225 Posted July 25, 2020 Report Share Posted July 25, 2020 Drought monitor came in yesterday and it reads SEMI in the "Moderately Dry Cat." Hopefully the CF coming on Monday can provide some needed rainfall because it stays dry afterwards for the rest of July. Quote Snowfall as of today: Feb, 2021: 41.2" Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky 1778 Posted January 4 Report Share Posted January 4 It appears like 2020 precipitation anomalies were generally worse (below normal) in western Iowa than in most of Nebraska. 4 Quote ‘20 - ‘21 season snowfall = 39.3” Link to post Share on other sites

snowstorm83 2042 Posted January 4 Report Share Posted January 4 23.63" in Lincoln for 2020 which makes it the driest year since 2012. Not too surprising to see the pendulum swing back after three consecutive years of 35"+, but it'd been a pretty bad drought for much of the state. 4 Quote Snowfall in Lincoln, NE: 2017-18: 21.4" 2018-19: 55.5" 2019-20: 17.6" 2020-21: 49.4" (so far) Average: 25.9" Link to post Share on other sites
