First flakes here at 4 pm, but nothing on radar. Good sign in my opinion. Main storm is still out to my west and southwest. Heavy bands moving in this evening and overnight 

It's gotta me a good sign the air was able to saturate easily.

Nice band of rippage stretching from Omaha to Lincoln. Snow is accumulating much faster than earlier. I need to go to bed soon and haven't measured recently, but grass is gone. I'm guessing we'll end with 2-3"

It’s ripping down good currently in Omaha as we are getting into some moderate to heavy banding right now. It looks like a snow globe outside and it’s amazing. Glad I woke up at 2am to check on how the storm was progressing.

Eyeballing it, would say we have about 1 1/2 to 2 inches of snow on the ground. Not bad and we should end up around what was forecasted (2-3” total).

Wow. I just went outside and was measuring 3-3.5". I kept trying to make sure I wasn't getting a drift but drifts were more like 5". It looks like it's winding down but I'll do another measurement in the morning. Most of it is from the past 90 minutes.

Congrats on the powder fella's!  Any snowfall in late October with temps in the low 20's is a win in my book if your a snow lover.  Anyway, at least you'll be able to enjoy it for a couple days in late October.  I'm hopeful this is a good sign as we head deeper into Autumn.

I would say to 2-3" so far and radar is showing a heavy band is moving up here from Northwest Kansas.  Weather apps are now saying potentially another 3" this morning if this band holds together.  When all is said and done, I'll probably be in that 4-6" range, more realistically 4-5 but we'll see.  Models are doing great so far this year it seems.

A nice band of snow moved through a couple hours ago and dropped 0.5" here.  This is our third accumulating snow event this month, totaling 5.1".  Last October we had two snow events totaling 6.6".  So, we've had nearly a foot of snow over the last two Octobers.  A location just north of Des Moines has received a foot of snow just this month.  It is supposed to be difficult to get any accumulating snow in October.

Omaha tied the record low for October 26th at 21 degrees this morning, we might have a chance to break the record if the temperature slips any more this morning or later tonight. 

Ended up with 2.5" of snow from this system in my backyard, which was at the upper end of what was forecasted - the moderate to heavy snow band produced nicely early this morning. That's a win in my book... a very nice start to the Fall/Winter snow season after a dry, hot, and boring Summer weather-wise around here.

Just did some new measurements. Mostly 2.5-3.5” so I’ll go with 3”. The airport 4 miles SE measured 2.9” I believe. More impressive to me is that this fell with temps falling through the 20s, very rare for October.
