OKwx2k4 Posted October 25, 2020 Report Share Posted October 25, 2020 Calm before the storm down here tonight. This thread is for the 3 days or so around the storm but to close out an October with a 7 day stretch like this is going to be pretty memorable to me. This October will probably rank in the top 10 for cold here after its all done. Got my rainfall all in. What an October. Been around 19 to 20 years or so.... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted October 25, 2020 Report Share Posted October 25, 2020 00z Euro...for a late October storm, this is impressive in many ways when you consider the cold and the amount of snow that could potentially fall. I'm really curious to see if these kuchera snowfall totals pan out given the cold temps and higher snow ratios. Good thing is, for maximizing snow accumulations, those of you out in NE/IA have had about 24-36 hours of cold air to cool the ground surfaces. Good luck to all! Let it snow.... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clinton Posted October 25, 2020 Report Share Posted October 25, 2020 I feel like the RGEM may have the best handle on accumulations for my area, given the bulk of the snow will fall during the daylight hours and ground here isn't froze. I will pull for the Euro and GFS but a 1-3 inch event in Oct is a major win here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at those amount in the CO mountains. Ski resorts should have a banner kick-off to their season.

I met a girl from Holdredge in my UNL freshman orientation and I always wonder what life is like in every town. My little Toyota front wheel drive probably wouldn't hold up over there haha.
