Freezing drizzle is real here at the house in rural Festus. Solid glaze over what Cnagel had previously plowed. 😊 Temp: 28

I question some of those reports as well. jmg378s is closer to the 11" Harvester report than I am and he reported 9.5". I reported 9.4". Two co-op stations nearby recorded 9.5" and 9.9". I'm not saying there is anything nefarious going on. Measuring snowfall is hard and inexact with high uncertainty. But I do question some of these reports. BTW... here is the snowfall report map if anyone is curious. I see no one has reported any amounts for De Soto. I'm waiting for some confirmation on my amounts. We got at least another 1/2" or so overnight. Checked with radar and that seems to confirm something fell. Up to 32* but it feels a lot warmer shoveling 9" drifts off my back patio. On the reports I see Hillsboro at 7", Hematite 9.7" and Festus 10". Maybe that 9" drift I am shoveling is not a drift at all. Hmmmmm. Hillsboro and Hematite about equal distance from me 9-10 miles, Hillsboro due north and Hematite, Festus due east. I think my high amounts were 7" snow and 1.5" of crust. I believe Demerson had a lower crust total but I haven't seen any updates from him. No matter what, a great system to follow and freak out over. Great job Chris, and all the hobbyists, college Met's, retired Met's. If I left anyone out, please include yourself. This blog is awesome. We ended up w/ about 8” in rural Festus. I’d imagine you’d be pretty close to that.

Looks to be the last burst of moderate snow in rural Festus. Sitting at 7.5” here. This was a fun one. Great job to all on recognizing the potential this storm had 8-10 days before it happened. Love this forum!

That doesn’t include the roughly half inch of sleet received yesterday So I guess my storm total is ~5.8” Approaching 6” w/ everything included in rural Festus as well. Snowing at an efficient rate currently.

1/4 mile vis, and pouring snow. Must be that darker green blob. Sure wish it would continue for, I don't know, 6-8 more hours. 16* 7 miles west of De Soto. Pouring snow in rural Festus as well. Beautiful site!

What looks like nice radar returns heading my way from the SW hit the western border of Washington county and fall apart. Grrrrrr The “stuff” in south central Missouri looks to be expanding & heading our way. Should be a fun couple of hours in Jeffco. 🤞
