Hastings sure wants to be conservative with estimates. They have been wrong for 3 storms in a row, might as well make it four. I have called them out. It is snowing good right now at -2, wonder what ratios are. The 2nd wave moving southeast, I believe, will produce more than they are forecasting. I guess we'll see if the pros or amateurs are correct. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowstorm83 Posted February 12, 2021 Report Share Posted February 12, 2021 It was snowing at a good clip on my way to work. Visibility was definitely under a mile, tiny flakes though. No more than a half inch so far today, but it’s a good start. Didn’t think anything would start til like 3.

I have maybe 4-5” of snowcover in my backyard. We might get another inch or two today, but even that is down from 3-4” they were calling for earlier. Goes back to what I’ve said before, brutally cold weather gets old really fast. You rarely get any decent snows unless you’re close enough to the baroclinic zone and a strong system rides along it close enough to your backyard. Most of the time is just hoping you get hit with nickel and dimers but those are a crap shoot and aren’t that exciting anyway. Give me 20s and big storms any day over this garbage! We are sitting at more than DOUBLE the average snow at the current time for the year and if we didn't see any more snow the rest of the year (which isn't going to happen obviously), we would still end up with an 7 inch surplus for the season... I have to say that we have absolutely nothing to complain about snow-wise around here this year. Back on topic, our light snow for today is a bit ahead of schedule - a couple local mets were calling for the accumulating snow to hold off until later this afternoon, however the fluffy flakes are starting to stack up a bit. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You appear to have missed my point. I'm happy snow amount wise here for the season. The bitter cold with little snow at this point is getting old. The original poster I replied to was also talking about this current pattern and how bad it's been for him over in Iowa and that was my point too, that it's been underwhelming here, at least in my backyard, and I'm ready for a change in pattern. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

centralweather44 Posted February 13, 2021 Report Share Posted February 13, 2021 Looking at radar returns I don’t think we are going to fair all that well in Lincoln on this round. Nearing 1” total for the day. Lancaster counties southern border is basically cut off here tonight. Hoping we can squeeze out anchor inch here in the next couple hours before it moves it’s way out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, but sure is pretty. No such thing as too cold to snow when it’s ripping like this below zero!

OmahaSnowFan Posted February 13, 2021 Report Share Posted February 13, 2021 Measured 2.6” at midnight for the total for the day. Still snowing lightly but looks like it’s going to be done in the next couple of hours so might reach 3” for the storm total. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzcoat Posted February 13, 2021 Report Share Posted February 13, 2021 Getting some nice big fatties right now on WNW side of DSM- measured 1.3" at midnight and looks like we may be able to double that if bands remain the same around OMA- but I doubt it. In my mind- this has all ready over achieved after horrible runs of the NAM etc. It seems that little hole over C.IA that alot of guidance was showing showed itself in the Ames area. Also- KDSM just went over 50" for the year!!!! 6 1 Quote The two loudest sounds known to man: a gun that goes bang when it is supposed to go click and a gun that goes click when it is supposed to go bang.

Tom Posted February 13, 2021 Report Share Posted February 13, 2021 Radar has blossomed nicely across IA and now into N IL...most models suggest 2-3" over here and I think we can score the higher end of guidance. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye Posted February 13, 2021 Report Share Posted February 13, 2021 I received 1.1" overnight. It's a nice powder, about as dry as snow ever gets with a temp of -6 during the event, but it didn't last much more than a few hours. 5 Quote season snowfall: 34.8" '22-23: 30.2" '21-22: 27.1" '20-21: 52.5" '19-20: 36.2" '18-19: 50.2" '17-18: 39.5" Average snowfall: ~30" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CentralNebWeather Posted February 13, 2021 Report Share Posted February 13, 2021 Got several more inches from about 12:30-4:30 AM when only flurries were forecasted. Hastings saying 2-5” for the area tonight into Sunday. For my place and Southwest, I think 5” or a little more is possible as the bitter cold air will have very high snow ratios. Hastings never seems that interested in them for whatever reason. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niko Posted February 13, 2021 Report Share Posted February 13, 2021 Its beautiful outside (snow on top of snow is something I can deal w, as long it is stacking up) w what looks like an inch or so, just by eyeballing it. This will be an all day event w heavier burst later this afternoon and evening b4 tapering off by evening. Mets are calling for a couple of inches. 1 Quote Snowfall for Winter 2023 -24 for Metro Detroit Area Oct 2023: 0.2" AN Nov 2023: 2.2" AN Dec 2023: 0.5" BN Insane!
