Alas, after dumping big time on NE into central IA, this energy also hits the blocking over the lakes and gets squashed southeastward. Grrrr.

MIKEKC Posted January 19, 2021 Report Share Posted January 19, 2021 Boy, that GFS is quite toasty for KC the rest of the month. It actually has 60's and 70's showing up in the Plains first part of Feb. Our soil temps are well above average for this time of year. Cool season weeds are germinating in "warm" mulch beds I have only dropped below 20 degrees 4 times since Dec. 1st. WOW! ZERO morning lows below 25 on the latest GFS run. I don't believe I have seen any ice on the ponds and lakes this winter. Hopefully we see a major data flip or spring will be very early this year. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bud2380 Posted January 19, 2021 Report Share Posted January 19, 2021 Just realized it is snowing. A nice light snow. Visibilities are still good. Shouldn't last long. It doesn't look like it's accumulating. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the likelihood of the snow to impact the intersection of I 94 and US 131 we went ahead and included this county in the advisory.

OKwx2k4 Posted January 20, 2021 Report Share Posted January 20, 2021 @Tom, @Grizzcoat, @someweatherdude, @jaster220 and anyone else I forget (there are probably 4 more of you, at least) who make the board what it is. Just keep doing what you do. Forget the haters. We tried, and I'm actually glad that some of you to my north aren't sitting under the great NW flow shaftola today like we would have been under anomalous PV and what EVERY RELEVANT SIGN AVAILABLE showed us long range guys. If you "Critics" (to put it politely) could go back to August/September boards where Tom and I were studying and get closer, please teach us how. I'm all ears. The rarity of events on the other side of our hemisphere is off the rails in terms of history, so quite frankly, get a life and look around every once in awhile. It took literal <1% events over there to shank our predictions so shove off. You guys have fun up there. I'm legitimately happy for you great guys and beautiful and kind ladies up north around Chicago who are having a blast right now. With all my heart. I know you all miss the snow when it's gone every bit as bad as I do. Keep sharing the pictures, too. I love them. I get to, at least, live vicariously through them for a minute or 2. Snow and dynamic winter storms will come back my way. Gulf-loaded power punches and I-40 specials will return. If TX and OKC can beat me 2 years in a row, it will come back my way again. If I've brought my winter blues here, I'm sorry for that. I love snow too, ya know. I just can't help it. 4 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
