Per their twitter, the County road department crews began salting at 3pm although they were anticipating 8pm-4am for the precip.

Not sure size yet but ditto. Still ongoing after 5 minutes but finally down to sporadic. Ground is nearly covered but still haven't gone out yet to see size and may not at this point. Biggest I could see from the porch was also quarter size. Never heard anything like that before.

mPING is pretty funny right now. Someone drove from Belleville to Weldon Springs giving updates along the way.......who was it? Back to a wintry mix in MO’Fallon That is funny. Had to be someone on here. My dog just went to the bathroom and had his normal energy spurt after doing so. Problem is he hit the mud and lost traction for a solid 5 feet. In case anyone is wondering about the validity of the mudslide report in Perryville. If it is starting or ending in Weldon Springs, there is at least a decent chance it was an NWS employee heading to/from the office.

Wonder what is going on with the MoDOT web cams. Tried 4 different browsers and get an error every time. they work on the iPhone app. Working in Google Chrome on a laptop as well. I also noticed that it appears they've changed them on the Traveler Information Map so that they no longer rely on Flash as I didn't have to manually enable it for once.

Radar starting to fall apart across SW MO...this thing is flying off to the NE. Was that anticipated? I thought we were going to be in the precip for a while, but it does not look impressive at all SW of Rolla.

Most if not all snow 2N St. Charles with ground getting covered.

Still rain/sleet mix but definitely more of a 50/50 mix now vs mostly rain earlier just north of St. Charles.

Just drove back to northern St. Charles from Creve Coeur and it was all rain until Earth City and then had a little mixing with sleet, but still mostly rain. Car showed 31-32*.

Rain sleet mix in north St. Charles about 30 minutes ago when I left for work. Trash can and car were starting to glaze but nothing on the ground/roads. Car temp was 32-33* during my commute to Creve Coeur and it appeared to be just drizzle here as of 10 minutes ago.

Why so many changes with the NWS snowfall map? Seems like it has changed 3 times in the last 24 hrs. Or is someone posting different maps from somewhere elsa? Maps (and forecasts) are generally updated around 3am and 3pm each day. In years past I have seen the map change at other times during an event, but I don't believe that happened today.

Surprised that NWS is going 6"+ for LOTO but 1-3" IMBY...not sure what they are seeing. Clearly they are not accounting for the Brighton effect, although it looks like they've got the Montgomery County/Mad effect in place for this one.

It’s pretty amazing to think about the fact that the average low is 24 ..... when is the last time we even got down to the average low? Lambert's low on Jan. 22nd was 24* and the low on the 19th-21st was in the teens, so going on 2 weeks.

I'm guessing this isn't historic in any sense, but it is shocking how little the temperature has moved over the last week plus. The range in temperature over the last 9 days has been a low of 24 to a high of 44, a 20 degree swing that would be a typical swing on a single day, not over 9 days. In addition, if you take out the 26th, the range is only 13 degrees (low of 24 and high of 37). I really can't remember a period of several days where the temperature has moved this little.

you know what grinds my gears? The MODOT Gateway Guide cameras don't work in Chrome. I had to watch this calamity of a storm fall apart and not produce epic snows from afar in Edge. What a shame. SAD! The cameras can still work in Chrome as long as you manually unblock flash.

Main roads were fine between Creve Coeur and St. Charles with the side streets in St. Charles getting covered. Visibility was around or just under 0.75 miles in Westport around 4:10pm.

His credibility. What app is that? It's from Weather Underground's website. They have the most extensive collection of personal weather stations that I am aware of.

The disco sounds like much more sleet than Freezing Rain (at least relative to what I am seeing in other posts) which I think would be a big positive to limiting the impact of the event. That said, I would guess the snow and sleet alone would be more than enough to wreck havoc on the roads, so I don't want to downplay that aspect.

Think we will be safe driving tomorrow? Im biased but i think roads should be fine. Marginally cold and warming. What say you? (Metro area) To be honest...no I don't think the roads will be fine. It's going to get plenty cold tonight and freezing rain may be falling, at least for a time, with temps near or below 30F. We all know it doesn't take much for roads to become bad around here. And it takes even less for the drivers around here to become bad at navigating the roads in inclement weather.

I came across this a few days That’s interesting, thanks for sharing! Obviously, the scale makes it tricky, but there is some variation. I must be in a huge snow hole if everywhere around me is getting 10-15 feet of snow per year.

I don't think there is, but if there was one, I'm sure the Brighton International Airport would be the big winner. And Union Regional Airport would be... In the center of a certain T-shirt, along with Ballwin and Marissa.

Is there any official seasonal snowfall data for specific counties? It seems like St. Charles has tended to be the hotspot over the last decade, but would love to compare against lambert to see if it’s just a cognitive bias I don't think there is, but if there was one, I'm sure the Brighton International Airport would be the big winner.

6Z HRRRv4 is very aggressive with snowfall totals. Much more so than the 0Z cycle from last night and the snowfall is far more widespread. The axis of heaviest QPF remains right through the metro area. Any concern with the HRRR that it shows no freezing rain north of roughly I-64 in the metro? Assuming we do get some of the precip as freezing rain instead of snow that would cut into the 6-8" snow total.
