CentralNebWeather Posted January 27, 2021 Report Share Posted January 27, 2021 Jim Flowers just put out a great video on the potential for a storm next Thursday. Gives what has to happen for the storm to develop, and what might hinder it. Fascinating stuff. I highly encourage it for meteorology lessons. I have a lot of respect for his skills. He called this last storm days before and was spot on with amounts. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SO....with another 1-2" forecast for tonight, I'm gonna say I'll get to enjoy a poor man's version of snow on snow for the first time in awhile. You just have to take what they give you...

snowstorm83 Posted January 27, 2021 Report Share Posted January 27, 2021 Seems like cloud cover will likely limit low temps here tomorrow night. Kind of unfortunate bc I was excited to see what kind of ridiculous number KLNK would end up with. It would likely clock in around -15 there with calm winds and clear skies.

Clinton Posted January 27, 2021 Report Share Posted January 27, 2021 Nice moderate snow falling here this morning absolutely beautiful looks like I'm going to pick up about 2 in when it's all said and done not a bad little storm wishing it had more moisture to work with but I'll take what I can get. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m glad to hear your benefitting from this pattern. It wasn’t looking pretty for your area not long ago, but nature has decided to turn the corner. The LR signals keep the storm track in the vicinity of the Plains/MW into early Feb. Nature should keep on giving. I know I got criticized for my LR calls and I took the heat. In the end, some of the key storm systems did verify and more are yet to come. It tickles me with excitement. Some people on here will be digging tunnels in the coming weeks. I do believe those of us farther east who have missed out will eventually see more action. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beltrami Island Posted January 27, 2021 Report Share Posted January 27, 2021 -27 so far this morning officially for KBDE. Maybe eek out a -28 or -29 for the next couple hourly temps before sun fully rises. Car temp said -31. Wind Chill warning is a bit ironic here today, wind is 0 and not much forecast the whole day. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hits just keep on coming. Only picked up about an additional half inch to an inch of snow in Omaha this morning, but it caused a lot of problems for the morning commute - very slow going out there. It is absolutely crazy to think that in this relatively warm winter pattern that we are in "bonus time" when it comes to snowfall, as we have surpassed our seasonal average of 28" (currently sitting at 29.9" for the season). 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan1117 Posted January 27, 2021 Report Share Posted January 27, 2021 Pretty cool graphic from the NWS in Omaha. This should go a long way to help out with the drought conditions that have developed in Central and Eastern Nebraska over the last year. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OmahaSnowFan Posted January 27, 2021 Report Share Posted January 27, 2021 I've said it before, but this is my type of winter. We're running 6 degrees above average this month after being 5 degrees above average in November and December. And we've hit our seasonal average for snowfall. Even crazier is that despite all the warmth, we really haven't had a system that was rain and 33 degrees. When there's been precip, it's still been all snow falling for the most part. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone has been more screwed than me this winter it's been everywhere west of me. This winter is starting to remind me of the late 90s and first half of the 00s here. After the historic winters of 95-96 and 96-97, there was a real void of winter snow for northern minnesota and north dakota. There were sping and fall snowstorms but nothing of note for Thanksging-Mid March, every snowstorm forecast hyped up just seemed to fizzle out or miss the region. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowstorm83 Posted January 27, 2021 Report Share Posted January 27, 2021 Still a solid 14” OTG after 1/2-1” last night. I’m actually really impressed with how well the city has handled the 2nd biggest storm on record. Main roads are mostly cleared and my residential street has been plowed. Still very slick and snow covered but you can’t get stuck anymore at least. Though I’ve heard other people complain about how their neighborhood hasn’t been touched so maybe I’m one of the lucky ones. Seems like an improvement from the 2018-19 debacle at least.
