St Paul Storm Posted December 23, 2020 Report Share Posted December 23, 2020 Pounding good out there. Everything is getting covered already.

OmahaSnowFan Posted December 23, 2020 Report Share Posted December 23, 2020 Absolutely ripping here! Nice fluffy dendrites that are accumulating really rapidly. Actually looks like it’s “puking” snow. Can’t imagine what it looks like outside of town.

Yeah it's ripping good out right now, the grass is almost covered here in Southwest Omaha and the snow that is falling is blowing around like crazy... after a slow start to this one, I can see why the NWS issued headlines for this system - with the heavier snow rates the roads are going to get ugly this afternoon in open areas. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormgeek Posted December 23, 2020 Report Share Posted December 23, 2020 One thing that is a bit concerning right now up this way is the fact that the snow that is falling is very fine. Gets blown around a ton, but might not stack up as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grizzcoat Posted December 23, 2020 Report Share Posted December 23, 2020 ^ educated guess is that it's probably rather high ratio? 15:1+ ?
