Issued at 1025 PM EST Thu Jan 14 2021 It is looking like the risk of getting 2 to 4 inches of snow over our northeast counties in the next 36 hours has increased. Most of the accumulating snow will be after 5 am Friday and last through most the morning into mid afternoon before diminishing. The combination of higher terrain and being near the pivot point for the precipitation area and also being in the trowal will enhance the precipitation (some help from up-slop too) Friday morning into Friday afternoon. Surface temperatures will be just cold enough for the snow to fall and accumulate. I will let the next shift consider if we need a Winter Weather Advisory for this since temperatures will be near freezing and the snowfall rates will likely be less than a half inch an hour so most of the snow should melt on the main roads. There may be travel issues on back roads and overpasses. 1 Quote Winter 2023-24 Snow Total = 53.1" (90% Normal Season) Largest Storm: 12" (1/12-13) Oct: 0.1 Nov: 2.9 Dec: 7.5 Jan: 31.7 Feb: 6.0 Mar: 4.3 Apr: 0.1 Avg = 59.2" (Harrison): 2023-24 = 53.1" Avg = 45.0" (KDTW): 2022-23 = 33.5" 2021-22 = 35.6" Avg = 49.7" (KRMY): 2020-21 = 36.2" 2019-20 = 48.0" 2018-19 = 56.1" 2017-18 = 68.3" 2016-17 = 52" 2015-16 = 57.4" 2014-15 = 55.3" 2013-14 = 100.6" (coldest & snowiest in the modern record!) 2012-13 = 47.2" 2011-12 = 43.7" Legit Blizzards (high winds and dbl digit snows): Feb 2011, Dec 2009, Jan 2005, Dec 2000, Jan 1999, Mar 1998, Nov 1989, Jan 1982, Jan 1978, Jan 1977, Apr 1975, Mar 1973, Jan 1967, Feb 1965, Jan 1918 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowstorm83 Posted January 15, 2021 Report Share Posted January 15, 2021 In a lull rn, and it has that "storm over" feeling. Hopefully some more stuff drops in from the northeast. I'd estimate around an inch so far when avoiding drifts and areas where it's competely blown away. Kinda meh but I'm surprised to even have this much so far. 3 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...
