Prayers sent REB! I was surprised that this February came in second warmest in STL and not first. I can't remember 2017 February specifically, so I'll have to go back and look at the numbers. If memory serves we set a record with 9 days of 70+ for the month. That’s highs over 70 for over 1/4 of the month.

5 in WashMO. My son is out earning some money shoveling drives. Didn’t think he’d be doing this today.

The low/mid-level Fgen looks pretty strong with that compact 850 low developing...NWS mentioned potential CSI too. Should be some nice snow rates under those mesobands. Or it could all shift 200 miles south or north on the 00z run like Monday 😬 BLASPHEMY!!! As a teacher, I have always felt that my students are the best barometers before snow storms. If their behavior today was any indication, we're going to get 3 feet of snow today. I need a snow day in the worst way!!!

If we do start out as sleet, I’m assuming that will help snow to accumulate on the surfaces, even if it is a degree or two above freezing. It’ll still have to snow faster than it’ll melt, but a refrigerated surface will slow the melt a little.

How are the models going to take this one from us? It almost reminds me of Mizzou football before last season. They could always find a new way to lose. It’s like the weather has taken over doing “Mizzou things.”

Not looking at models at this point. It’s a now-cast event.

Bunch of schools have called for tomorrow out here. Mostly due to cold I think I teach at one of our private schools in the area without busses. As I drove home from my other job this evening roads were horrid. Not sure we want to have a couple hundred cars coming on to our lot tomorrow morning. It could be a disaster.

Going to be a hard call for some schools tomorrow. Roads around here are covered and with temps being so low I can’t imagine any treatment will help.

My kids school, St. Pats in Wentzville has announced noon dismissal for tomorrow. Definitely precautionary but not a bad idea My sister is one of the 4th grade teachers there. She was just a little excited to tell me. LOL!

31 and pouring snow at the Y in Washington. I thought it wasn't supposed to get below freezing. Our parking lot is even covered. Is there still a warm up overnight?

Pouring hamsters in WashMO. Temp in the car was 33. Starting to show up in the yard. This could get interesting.

Several accidents out here in Franklin County. A couple of the county roads were closed for a time with accidents or overturned cars.

Drizzling pretty good outside in WashMO. Just had one of our members at the Y say she hit a slick patch on one of the back roads on the way here. Be careful out there friends.

Just something that may sneak up on us... going to have some hungover drivers after Sunday's football Glad the local mets are starting to pick up on this and started talking about it this morning. There's nothing worse than a low precip, high impact event if the masses aren't ready for it.

We have Grandparents Day/Open House at school on Sunday. Getting nervous about the idea of our grandparents walking between church and school with icy conditions. Glad it’s not my call. Hoping the ice holds off.

Not upset about still being in rain. After all, we weren't supposed to be in snow until midnight anyway. Patience my friends!!!

I just wish it would all say one more county south. The power of the Snowman will surely keep it away.

I think it's hard to drill when it's freezing. Autocorrect strikes again. Would have been easy to take that in a direction which might have led to some time in the penalty box. Well played...

Had a decent all snow shower for about 20 minutes. Things are turning white. Still concerned for freezing drilling tonight? I think it's hard to drill when it's freezing.
