Can somebody shoot me please?

00z GFS also has a sweet LES signature all the way from GRB down to ORD...total run...notice those totals lakeside.  If the models are picking this up 48 hours out, imagine what they will be the day of the event.  Could easily add 2-4" on top of system snows.

[centralweather44]

Wow so GFS completely leaving out southeast Nebraska on any snow this run then? Or is it because it falls all as rain?

[Scott26]

I'm still trying to hold my excitement, but this looks to be a fantastic set up for most of the sub-forum. Let's hope models have the evolution of this system handled.

[CentralNebWeather]

Well it jumped Nebraska. Amazing and sad.

Given the winter so far, this might as well be GHD 2.0 lol, it might feel like it.  Really hope this one is a bit easier to predict and doesn't shift a ton in the last couple days, maybe slight adjustments northward.  Have to say, the more I look at it, the more I realize that those saying this might be a candidate for a N/NW shift could be right.

[winterfreak]

Horrible runs tonight for the plains lol.

What a giant middle finger to us.  LOL

I am happy I wasn't expecting anything out of this, so there isn't all that much of a letdown for me.

Bufkit sites--- helps determine whats what--http://www.meteor.iastate.edu/~ckarsten/bufkit/data/

This def. is a candidate for a northward trend. It seems like within 72-84 hours this year the northern shortwaves tend to dig more than expected. Wouldn't be surprised to see ORD/MKE in the jackpot with 6-10.

[Money]

The one thing going for us on the northern side is ratios should be pretty good which could help fluff up accumulations

[educatorjen]

You have GOT to be kidding me.  I guess I shouldn't be surprised. 

[Money]

Clipper city on the 0z GFS again. 

[dubuque473]

Local met has me for 3-4 but all the maps here showing a fair amount more...looking forward to tomorrows to get a better idea.

[Jaycee]

Should be a good run for NE folks...

What?? haha I'm assuming you're not talking about the GFS

[NEJeremy]

GFS with snow to the north and east and the NAM with the main snow to the south and east of me. Yep sounds about right. Everyone else enjoy the storm!

Literally, EVERYONE. Who on this forum besides the Plains folks don't get shafted?? I don't know why I'm even on here haha... just going to see all the Chicago people blowing this up now and hearing them say "Wow! 12" and still snowing! Storm overperformed IMBY!!", meanwhile, I'm sitting here, anticipating my blowing dust advisory

and now the warm weather is gone too.  At least the past few weeks were nice out.  Was able to wear shorts to class for a while.  Not anymore LOL

The Central Plains' climo doesn't support many big storms, you don't have the moisture source of the Gulf of Mexico to the south, you can thank Texas and Mexico's presence for the lack of moisture.

[james1976]

You guys should move. Nebraska doesnt get clippers or cutters. Or not very often. If you want snow that badly, it may not be the place to be. It hasnt been great for any of us this winter so far.

[winterfreak]

Well we've had plenty of snow over the last four of five years. Not buying not having the right climo. Doesn't seem to be an issue in the spring and summer.

[Money]

UKMET is way north

Ahh come on man you know that's not true. Not like the GOM just cuts off at the Missouri River.

I agree. I can count numerous 10"+ storms hitting us as well. Happened in 09,11,and 2012. Just hasn't happened in the past two years as we have been shafted storm after storm

Ukie would be about 1 inch qpf or so for Chicago. .5-.75 for Milwaukee 

[Grizzcoat]

Avg snowfall for KC is 13.4" . I would imagine LNK is very close to that if not slightly less.

LNK is around 25" I beleive.

[james1976]

UK has been consistently north

[Jaycee]

Ours is actually 25". Yours can't be much higher I'd presume.

[centralweather44]

Ya 26.4" to be exact from NWS

[Jaycee]

This accurately describes what Chicago does to Nebraska every storm

[Grizzcoat]
