bud2380 Posted October 25, 2020 Report Share Posted October 25, 2020 Only mood flakes and minor accumulation around these parts.

snowstorm83 Posted October 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2020 Nice band of rippage stretching from Omaha to Lincoln. Snow is accumulating much faster than earlier.

Bryan1117 Posted October 26, 2020 Report Share Posted October 26, 2020 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). 3 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowstorm83 Posted October 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2020 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. 4 2 Quote Snowfall in Lincoln, NE: 2017-18: 21.4" 2018-19: 55.5" 2019-20: 17.6" 2020-21: 49.4" 2021-22: 5.1" Average: 26" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CentralNebWeather Posted October 26, 2020 Report Share Posted October 26, 2020 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. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawkeye Posted October 26, 2020 Report Share Posted October 26, 2020 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. 2 5 Quote season snowfall: 34.8" '22-23: 30.2" '21-22: 27.1" '20-21: 52.5" '19-20: 36.2" '18-19: 50.2" '17-18: 39.5" Average snowfall: ~30" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryan1117 Posted October 26, 2020 Report Share Posted October 26, 2020 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. 5 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CentralNebWeather Posted October 26, 2020 Report Share Posted October 26, 2020 The heavy band has finally exited. Easily 1" an hour snow rates. One more band is coming through, but with lighter snow. I will have to do some snow removal after school. Currently 14 degrees but zero wind, so no wind chill. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
