December 29th - 30th Snowstorm

Wow, some big changes.  The difference with the UK is the northern stream energy.  Other models dive the northern energy down behind the southern energy, which lifts the southern energy on a nw track.  The new UK dives the northern energy ahead of the southern energy, so there is a farther southeast initial surge of moisture and there is no wrapped-up storm that follows.

Seeing the changes makes you remember that climatologically speaking, getting a 12”+ snowfall here in eastern Nebraska is pretty D**n hard. Last I saw, happens once or twice every decade I believe.

That's the truth. Last time for LNK was March 1998. 10-12" range is much more common though and I would count double digits as big dogs. I loved the 2/23/19 storm, but if it was just a couple hours slower pulling out we would've been approaching a foot. Don't get me wrong though, I'll take a 6-10" storm all day every day. 

Edit: If you count 3 day totals then 12/24-26 2009 would make the cut with 12.8", but I'm not sure if that was continous snowfall or not.

 I am seeing some big changes that are starting to show up. UKIE and GEM are showing it. Potentially northern stream interacts w southern stream and gains a lot of energy, which could possibly favor Clinton's area, Chicago and points east. Perhaps models are not seeing the huge -NAO developing and thus creating model mayhem here. Expect more south trends as time goes. That is my best guess as for now. Could also be wrong! Fun times ahead.
