1/10 - 1/11 Plains/Lower Lakes Major Winter Storm

Not liking the radar trends at least up here in northwest Omaha at least. Pretty easy to see that heavier snow is going to stay south of me and maybe clip the southern metro.

 

Edit: according to reports on RadarScope in the last 30 minutes, it was still sleet, ice pellets down south where the heavier returns are.

I went to lunch and when I left the building it was raining.  I was not expecting any precip until about 4pm.  The temperature is 30º, so freezing is occurring on some metal surfaces.  The ground, of course, is still way too warm after yesterday.

 

Just in the last few minutes it has begun to switch to sleet.

Now that the HRRR and NAM have caved east with wave 2, we may only be able to get a few inches of snow, at best.

 

Models really juiced up and expanded wave 1, but now the HRRR seems to be backing off of that, too.

Wow! From 5-10 inches in KC in many runs leading up to today to some struggling to get to an inch of snow tomorrow.

 

EURO/NAM totally flipped today, less then 24 hours out from the snow part of the storm.

 

Hopefully they are wrong and the 18z HRR is correct which still shows the 4-6 inch band.

 

Nothing is a guarantee in the world of snow.

Made it to Indiana and back in 8hrs 5 minutes. Weather was great except for Chicago, very misty, light rain coming down. Only in Chicago though. Hoping for some daytime snow tomorrow.

Easily 3/4 to 1" hour rates. Seems to be a good ratio snow. The sleet here was never very wet and mixed with pixie dust which I think was a good sign

The two loudest sounds known to man: a gun that goes bang when it is supposed to go click and a gun that goes click when it is supposed to go bang.

31 degrees in North Liberty.  My car says 31 my weather station says 31.8.  I left work early to avoid travelling on 380 on a skating rink.  Hoping we get a changeover to snow sooner than later.  Sleet even would be better than the rain we are getting now.
