Still going strong here in far east lincoln. About 11" 

 

Jackpot!

Radar still looks good, too.

[snowstorm83]

Still snowing at a decent clip, but hopefully those heavier returns can roll back in. I'll probably go out to measure in a bit, likely at least 9" by now though. It's hard to eyeball when everything is just white 

[jcwxguy]

Storm radar so far

[Stormhunter87]

Like I said and Jim just highlighted dry air is present but Omaha and where I am is in a good spot it's forcing heavy bands in. Hope we stay that way.

[BMT]

not feeling good here.  Have a feeling I’m just on the wrong side of this one.  

[snowstorm83]

10" at my place now, double digits! Also back to the regular rippage after a brief "lull"

[Tom]

First flurries falling...let’s get this party started...

[Hawkeye]

Radar shows the dry air continuing to eat away at the snow shield east of Cedar Rapids.  Fortunately, a couple good bands have managed to hold together and make it through CR.

[jcwxguy]

From just now

[Hawkeye]

I'm curious to know how much has fallen across the county east of Lincoln.

[Hawkeye]

Solid heavy snow has been parked over the Des Moines area all afternoon.

[james1976]

I got flakes now!

I would guess 12-15, based off radar returns.  Speaking of which, dry air is coming (near bennett now) but that may stay just to my south.. going to be close for sure

[james1976]

Radar looks great. I just hope I stay saturated and get some good returns up this way. 

[Hawkeye]

The dry air is really working hard over here.  The snow is struggling to win the battle.  A good band was just moving through CR, but it went poof and now it's barely snowing.

[jcwxguy]

No BS 12" here now minimum( measured several spots this was lowest) - did come up with 13" in spots

[snowstorm83]

Scrolling through Facebook and seeing widespread 10-13" reports across Lincoln. I haven't checked again yet but I'm sure I'm on the doorstep of 11".

[james1976]

Starting to increase nicely

[james1976]

TWC is all over this storm.....

[james1976]

Gonna be impossible to measure with the wind. The dusting i had just whiffed off the patio table and the deck. Oh welllllll

[Hawkeye]

I've already posted twice about this already, but the dry air is killing us now after a very promising start.  Even with green over us on radar the snow has stopped completely, and radar suggests it may be another hour before more snow moves in, if the new band doesn't dry up.  

[james1976]

KWWL bumped my area up to 3-6. And 6-10 for you guys around CR & IC.

this was the reason for my negative Nancy post before.

The heaviest has been Dallas CTY.  Just talked to my son in on NW side of Waukee has 6"+-- KDSM is 4" as of 5pm

The snow is very light here. Winds are pretty strong so it’s gonna be hard to measure. It was snowing much harder an hour ago. Rates will have to pick up dramatically for us to get over 6”. 

[Niko]

Looks like snow is knocking on my doorstep! Radar looks good and loaded. Wonder if there will be any overachievement in this.

Where is <Clinton> He has been MIA!

[jcwxguy]

Schools cancelled tomorrow

[snowstorm83]

11 inches. There’s usually a sidewalk there.

[Stormhunter87]

Well we might get lucky. That dry air is holding just to our southeast and looks like the moisture is fighting back.

[Jaycee]

As a former resident of Lincoln, have fun with those roads! They had like the absolute WORST plows of all time there lol. 
 

idk if it’s lake effect, but it’s snowing decently here on the north side of downtown Chicago! 

[East Dubzz]

Yeah this is going to be a dud.

[The Snowman]

Radar intensifying right over Omaha, visibilities near lowest levels of the day

[OmahaSnowFan]

measured 5.5" here about 530p

[bud2380]

Snow intensity just not picking up here. 4-6” might be as good as we get 

[james1976]

Yeah fairly light up here too

[Minny_Weather]

Friend in East Lincoln is at just over 12" now.

[Hawkeye]

A new snow band is trying to move into Cedar Rapids, but this one is drying up, too.

[hlcater]

Some really solid stuff is moving into IC as we speak. I must have 2.5" out there.

 

[Stormhunter87]

Going to be a fun drive to work tonight. Easily at 9 inches here.
