Ok... I went with 3" for my over/under at this point. Using a poor-man's composite of the Euro/Fv3/GEM for the storm tracks...and solid assist from the GEFS, EPS and CIPS analogs... this is my first guess (and it is a guess) at this stage of the game. I'm not even sure I'm ready to drop this on facebook to the general public yet... but here goes... Keep the Facebook hysteria at bay for now.....

It definitely looks like good potential for another possibly significant to major storm coming out a few days after this next one. And there's lots of cold air sloshing around to go with it. I may be in the minority, but keep 'em coming!

Deck is covered in Arnold. Grass white-ish. Both sons have to work at 4:00. I hope the company isn't stupid enough to stay open. Yep I work 4-2 tonight. Was all ready told call outs would be terminated. That's crazy. Where is this if I can ask.

T-6hrs to a major winter storm... This is both the best and worst time for me in the evolution of a storm. I have made my forecast...now I have to wait to see if it plays out. The crazy things that start going through my head are weirdly amplifued this morning by the crazy good agreement in the models. But where is Lucy? What did I miss that could cause this to turn from an epic forecast to a titanic disaster? What if I wake up and nothing happens? Ahhhh, yes...this is the best and the worst time all at once. We are packing up and my boy and I will hit the road within the next hour or so. He is going to do the lion's share of the driving so I can post updates...and maybe do a facebook live or two. Enjoy the winter goodness...your patience will be rewarded. Safe travels Chris, looking forward to the FB live reports from the road. Your dedication is appreciated!

The amount of people who have said to me “Of course there is going to be a massive snowstorm the day your son is born...” Well the wife and I are about to head to the hospital now to have our baby. Obviously won’t be on here today but I’ll be watching out the windows! Enjoy it, guys! Congratulations and best of luck to you and the wife. Prayers for a healthy baby and that all goes well.

If I was making a map I’d just blanket the whole area in 8-12”. Only exception would be the southern and SE counties who might have mixing issues and “only” receive 6-10” Something like what TWC has? Attachment Deleted

It is a glorious day when you fell asleep on the couch in front of a lit fireplace watching the snow fall and accumulate and then wake up to everything white and the snow STILL falling. God is great! Just sitting here mesmerized by it all. What are you guys sitting at in Wentzville? I saw an 8 inch report on FB. Just measured 7 inches outside with snow still falling. Very happy! Waiting for the kids to wake up and go crazy!

Easy solution....stay up and enjoy with a nice adult beverage! Can't do that any more. Too much of an old geezer. Might get up and look during the night. But I need all the sleep I can get.
Haha, I know the feeling!

Hard to believe, but I will get to enjoy the illusive "snow on snow" I think...in November no less. Yup, I'm counting it because the hills and shaded areas on the farm still have quite a bit of the almost inch we got the other night (Ste. Gen county). Glad there was, helped me track my deer at dusk last night! What did you get? If you posted it I missed it.

No complaints just interesting comments. It almost exactly matches the RPM... which when I came in at 1 AM was bone dry for STL. At first I didn't see what the "big" deal was, but that is my naivete. Glad that it was friendly and lighthearted versus all the whining and complaining that we will be getting snow.

And we are under a Winter Storm Warning. Also who wants to bet when we are settled after this wave. This will be the only snow we will see this season. Well played. +500 points

I personally wouldn’t be offended if St. Chuck misses out and most of the storm stays on the other side of the Missouri River! I love the snow when I am not scheduled to work, unfortunately my shift drew the short straw! Shhh, we will have no more of that missing out talk about St Charles County! Wentzville will take what you don't want, just put the donut hole right over you

I let a real nice 8 walk yesterday. Good thing is all the neighboring landowners do the same so we get some big ones around here. Some great genetics here too. There's a 170 class 13 ptr around here that we've all had on cam. I'm in it for meat primarily but love seeing a big buck too. I was up in snow country Saturday morning. They had about 2 inches on the ground in Monroe City. Killed a nice 8 point about 8 am. They were moving all over the place too. Saw 20 deer or so that day, mostly small bucks. Had to cut the trip short though because my wife isn't feeling well, and I was needed at home. That was part of the reason for taking that buck. Went to Catawissa yesterday, and saw 4 does and two small bucks in the morning, then got a doe about 3 pm. I wanted to get the bulk of the hunting in this past weekend because my wife is having surgery this week, and will be laid up for about a month. Wasn't sure Id get much hunting in the rest of rifle season because of that. Congrats on the deer. Prayers for the wife. (glad I didn't type those backwards )
