Currently in North Platte,

Not to brag to all you snow lovers, but this storm has more than doubled our snowfall for the year.  

3 inches.  

(I realize sarcasm is tough to do in print. The snow is pretty and the moisture is welcome.)

Keeping my head on a swivel for any signs of flurry activity so we can turn to radar trends here soon. 

[jcwxguy]

I seen a few stray flurries here in Fremont

Not sure what the current state of the wildfires is in the Plains, but I wonder if we may get dirty rain again around here tonight.  The mid/upper level winds are from a similar direction as Tuesday night/Wednesday morning.  

Car washes were 60 cars deep yesterday.. attempted to wash my car 3 times but i wasn't waiting in line... decided to just go this morning no wait in and out within minutes 

[NH4NU]

Flurries are flying in Papillion!

Great set up prior to show arrival…

1) Cold temps

2) Optimal snow accumulation at night

3) Strengthening storm and dynamics

4) Slow moving defo band

Thats where I think it sets up and stays for awhile. Heavy snow and poor visibility right now in Lincoln. Where is SE NEB WEATHER? 

[jcwxguy]

Murray already had 2" half hour ago from that band that's sitting 

[gabel23]

Light snow finally starting. I’ve been watching my relative humidity like a hawk. Typically don’t start seeing snow until 80% or higher, things started at 69% and has jumped up 7% in the past 10 minutes. It’s crazy watching the snow rate change with the humidity!

Absolutely ripping in my backyard right now and the band seems to be lining up nicely along the I-80 corridor.

Nice returns blossoming further south to fill things in behind the heavy main band too.

[Bellona]

Seeing some light rain in Waterloo. I would assume it will change to snow rather quickly. It is 33 currently.

Absolutely dumping right now

I think lancaster county should be upgraded to a warning. It pouring snow and back building south of us. Probably pushing 3 inches

I saw Cass County was added to the WSW an hour ago… Lancaster should be next based on current amounts and radar trends.

Also noticing the snow could now last further into the night here… past midnight. The upper level low is still clear back in Central Nebraska.

[jcwxguy]

If they did half counties, northern Lancaster would be in a warning imo

[Hawkeye]

18z Euro - continues to love Waterloo.

[jcwxguy]

Lancaster will be added to warning
