snowstorm83 Posted December 29, 2020 Report Share Posted December 29, 2020 There's a report coming out of Raymond with 7". I think 6-7" sounds like it'll be the KLNK total, will be the snowiest December since 2009. I've asked some friends how much there is but all they say is "a lot" or "a **** ton". That's helpful lol. 5 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...

But clearly this map from our office has a 4" amt on GR and you're there or north of that. Yesterday you said their WWA issued had 2-6" so the 4-ish seems right. You can trade places with me any time if you'd prefer. I'd be stoked for 4" in this crap pattern. Thanks, I'm mostly negative. I fully expect a quick thump 1/2" and then get dry slotted only to turn to fr drizzle.

Grizzcoat Posted December 29, 2020 Report Share Posted December 29, 2020 Flake size here is not impressive. I think need to be closer to WAA. Vis is down but not totally due to snow.
