CentralNebWeather Posted April 12, 2014 Report Share Posted April 12, 2014 Have to question the 12s gfs for that much snowfall in Nebraska. That would break all time storm totals for this late in the season if it verifies. Don't get me wrong, I hope it happens, just seems to be in fantasy land for April 17.

I will say the depth of the cold air masses are shallower now because it is gone. I won't be surprised to see a little snow in the next 3 days in the air at least.
