snowstorm83 Posted February 18, 2021 Report Share Posted February 18, 2021 Lincoln is -21.8 below average for Feb 1-16. Last week of the month will be a recovery attempt, but I think it's unlikely we'll get warmer than a -15 departure. 1 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...

Tom Posted February 18, 2021 Report Share Posted February 18, 2021 06z GFS sniffing out the next system we will likely be tracking before month's end. There may be another system to close out the month depending on timing, but at least one more system to cap off THE most memorable Feb in decades. March is going to open up like a Lion this year as I am expecting to see a SW Flow to open up next month. Lot's of cutters and the 1st one will prob be a Big Dog. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted February 18, 2021 Report Share Posted February 18, 2021 ORD had a dry day yesterday so the 9-day record tying streak of measurable snow will come to an end. It would have been nice to extend this streak one more day to make history. Who's going to complain? Meantime, guess what, it's snowing again. As I look out my window, the snow falling peacefully and the flakes are mod sized. It is a sight to see as the flakes are creating a twinkle as they fall down caused by the street light on my street. A picturesque nighttime sight as I already have a coating OTG. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OKwx2k4 Posted February 18, 2021 Report Share Posted February 18, 2021 Always bittersweet after an event like this past week. Was pretty exciting to experience and this 10 day stretch of cold has rivaled anything you could hope to see in any year ever. Parts of TX getting snow and sitting under a -38° deviation from average would agree. A week of winter in Southern Arkansas and Louisiana won't be forgotten for a generation. Not all winters/events are "epic" and shocking for their quick stats and specs. Some you just have to live them to appreciate them. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westMJim Posted February 18, 2021 Report Share Posted February 18, 2021 We are now entering the last full week of meteorological winter and while most of this winter has been mild in reality there have not been all that many warm winter days. Did you know that as of today the warmest it has been this meteorological winter has been 53 and since Christmas the highest it has been is just 41. And so far this February the warmest it has been is just 37. On average the warmest day in December is 53 January 48 and February 50. The mean so far this meteorological winter at Grand Rapids this winter is now at 25.5° The average mean for the 3 months is 25.6° The coldest low this winter at Grand Rapids will be -12 and the annual average lowest reading is -7. The deepest snow depth looks to be 14” that average deepest snow depth at Grand Rapids is 11” Now it is true that this winter looks to end up well below average in the snow fall department and it looks to end up well below that average winter in days of 1” or more of snow cover at this time this year is at 46 days. Average at this date should be 54. Note for the year the average number of days with at least 1” of snow cover at Grand Rapids is 70. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted February 18, 2021 Report Share Posted February 18, 2021 This stuff is very high ratio and fluffy. I measured 1.3” so far and it’s prob coming down at 1”/hr. Might be an overachiever today.

I probably got two inches of pure fluff but the sun is out and it is already melting. I see on radar there is action to the west, hope it fills back towards me As @Tonysaid the lake has been nice this year.
