ndolan387 - you're going to need to edit your snow totals list soon. Your post takes up half the page. Is that better? On the mobile version I can't see that and it's much smaller. Thank you! Much better on iPad and laptop

The one time I don't mention it lol...Ballwin. Update your profile dude! I can see his line at the bottom says Ballwin on my iPad and laptop but it doesn’t show up on my phone. Different platforms I guess.

Took the dogs out, I could hear the sleet but at least half of everything hitting me was wet. Sidewalk and street mostly covered with sleet. On deck I can see some bouncing of sleet but def still some fz rain. Approx 1” icicles hanging from metal trash can lid and wood bird feeder. Chris Renier in front of the Arnold Dennys can’t get coffee because they’ve closed. You know it’s gonna be bad when the Dennys closes.
Upper Arnold 26.2*

Have to get a snow total box out. Something plastic to dump out water first. It’s been awhile…measure sleet, dump it once it starts snowing then measure snow as it comes. Do I dump after 6 or so inches to get less compaction?
Need lots of snow to convince kids that they can’t make the Fri wedding in WI. They were leaving Thu morning, then switched to Wed morning or maybe Early Fri morning. I said there may be a lane plowed but not the ramps that you’ll need for gas. Need lots of provisions. They may be coming around and listening to their parents. Two 23yo and two 20yo who are invincible ya know.

Been looking at various stuff about the slight rise then dramatic drop in barometric pressure as the wave went thru after the Tonga volcano eruption. Anyone see a graph for St Louis or Midwest?

Glen’s graphic with that hole of nothing over St Louis made me laugh and shake my head. It was truly ugly. It was either laugh or cry.

I’m thinking that Springfield cell will be tornado warned any second. We were in Silver Dollar City when the sirens went off. They did a great job of getting people into shelters, bathrooms and basements (no idea they had these in some of the buildings). With the warm Dec weather and the Christmas lights it was crowded even though they have limited capacity during Covid.

Great job Chris explaining how you’re going to index a winter weather event.

Haven’t looked in for awhile. Life has been crazy the past 5 months. Have changes been announced on Fox2? Chris’s new duties?

US National Weather Service Kansas City Facebook page posted graphics of an ice blockage on the MO river near Jeff City. Sorry I can’t figure out how to link it. An interesting MoDOT live camera view of the Emerson bridge from Cape Girardeau to IL. It looks like half the river is frozen and almost completely covered with flowing ice. Maybe someone can link for me if others want to see?
Could be some good pics for Chris.

Measured in my 5 gal bucket and a few places when taking my snow loving Golden out for the 4th time. I think I’m looking at about 5” upper Arnold. One of the toughest storms to measure.

I only measure 1" of new snow this morning. My snow box had more a drift in it & varied depths than the protected area near the house. For the snow box do I measure highest & lowest, then average? That’s what I did. Drifting in my 5 gal bucket was from 1-2”. I figured 1.5” I watch your posts over the years and we are almost always the same. I’m pretty much due west of you.

I put a 5 gallon bucket out yesterday afternoon. Measured drifts in the bucket. One side was 1”, other side 2”. I’m calling 1.5” in upper Arnold since 4:00pm yesterday

Current temp -1.8 not sure what it was at daybreak when that thing happens and the temp goes down and is a degree or two colder. I haven't had coffee and my brain is hurting looking for that word. Someone help please.
ETA: blue skies and sun

First... Appologies to addj.. I jumped to quickly on him and I was wrong to do so. It appears based on recent reports amounts of around 1 are being reported... so you are in line. It has been a rough couple of days here and I snapped a bit. Please accept my humble appologies. Also... never had time to post my maps yesterday... but from what I had time to look at this AM... 3 to 6 is still a good cover for most of the area... down southeast... 6 to 8 looks better than 6 to 10. I hope things make a better turn and I hope your coworker is back from her mishap soon. It takes a man of integrity to admit when he’s wrong and apologize. We know you have it in spades and we knew something was weighing on you. Take care.
