IMG_0162.MOV It really was a treat this morning in southern lake county. Fat flakes were slowly falling from the sky. 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. Maybe having a warm early winter is good in the long run as it keeps the lake from freezing over IMG_0619.MOV 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tom 16641 Posted February 19 Report Share Posted February 19 The last in a series of storms to hit the south during the 17th-18th dumped an impressive 10-21" of snow down in Arkansas!

OKwx2k4 4182 Posted February 19 Report Share Posted February 19 Models indicating February may deliver the goods one more time before we move on. Sneaky storm there on the 27th bears watching. @Tom, I think that South and Eastern/Northeastern Arkansas probably set all kinds of records. That was surely a storm people all over the south will remember forever. I'm glad for that. I know bad stuff happens in extreme weather. Always will; it's part of it you accept as time goes. I'll accept that (most) kids love snow and it always will make many more people happy than it will sad. It's hard to look at beauty like that and hate snow. It changes everything. There are a lot of kids down here this year who have desperately needed some good memories, and like snow always did for me, may it help their happy memories fill up a little bit. Been a really great weather year and in spite of above avg stretches in December and January, this has really felt like a long winter or overall cold season. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I rarely can see when Peeps upload any vids. Was there a format diff? The second video didn’t work properly on my iPad. Most times the videos will play, but will take so long to load that I give up like I did with the first video. I’m not sure why they load so slow, because it doesn’t on YouTube or most sites. As an afterthought, my guess is it’s because it probably loads the entire clip before it plays whereas usually it will play as it loads elsewhere. 1 Quote ‘20 - ‘21 season snowfall = 38.5” Link to post Share on other sites

MIKEKC 409 Posted February 19 Report Share Posted February 19 Here in KC, we are still struggling to get above freezing for a high, getting close though. Its been 14 days since we have been above 32 degrees. The FEB. sun angle is still going to work on the snow pack. Plenty of melting going on and we should be snow free by sometime later this weekend or for sure on Monday. What a beautiful run of winter weather, likely the best I have seen in KC ever or at least in a long while. Heck, all lakes in MO froze over shore to shore, I don;t think that has happened in 10+ years. Maybe longer... Here in KC, the coldest temp I recorded was -18 and I totaled 4.3 inches of snow in 5 small snow events. South of I-70 on all of our properties, there was likely closer to 6 inches of snow total. All in all, one of the best snow removal periods I have ever had due to the cold temps and every flake sticking. This was quite impressive across the nation, something we will remember for a long time. Now, does it snow again in KC? Last year our last snowfall was on Feb. 12th and that was a grass accumulation due to marginal temps. Did KC see its last pavement accumulation this last Wednesday? We'll see. Great forecast Tom, you posted on Jan. 29th, saying, "is the best yet to come, I think so!" Nice work. 60+ degrees forecasted for KC on Tuesday, I think that might just feel like Florida weather. 7 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Niko 7225 Posted February 19 Report Share Posted February 19 Looks like next week will feature some modification in this arctic airmass. My temps could be flirting w the upper 30s, dare I say near 40F at best. This will feel like a heatwave. Some melting will be occurring, so, flooding will likely be happening. Thankfully, it gets colder again by weeks end and also, a potent storm to watch for that upcoming weekend. 2 Quote Snowfall as of today: Feb, 2021: 41.2" Link to post Share on other sites
