Brtn , with temperature at 28 it’s sticking pretty well even to the treated roads. Just a nice steady light with average flake size

I have about 3 inches left of the 6.5 I had yesterday morning. It switched back to snow at some point during the night to whiten up melted areas a bit. Temp has fallen to 31*. While the compaction and light rain I had yesterday was a bummer, I'm happy with what I got. It's much better than no snow at all. The Euro looks awesome for everyone. Major ice south/east.

Pushed off the top of concrete wall last night and had a dusting on it this morning. Every time I looked out last evening I either had nothing falling, light rain or (luckily) saw some of those small missiles.

So going into next week's potential, how did the models perform for this event? Would we say the EURO did really well and the GFS played catch up?

The FV3 and Icon picked up on the potential 7-10 days out. Within 4 days every model besides the regular gfs was in very good agreement. Models have shown a greater spread for next week. Some runs are suppressed, some have a secondary low, and some are north. All the ingredients are there for a big one though. |

Are those radar returns over the NW part of the area producing much of anything? Trying to make travel decisions for today. Both the latest HRRR and RAP show them drying up pretty quickly this morning.

The pattern is absolutely loaded...
The next 6 weeks should make everyone forget about the December lull. Hell, almost all of you just saw 4+ inches of snow with a huge area seeing 6-12.
Hopefully there aren't complaints until like March.

A much more classic winter event than this weirdness we are wrapping up. If the arctic high is as strong as it looks...I have to believe low level cold air will be colder and somewhat further south than currently modeled. Has the look of ice/snow...possibly significant...that is for sure. |

What a difference 2 degrees makes. The snow falling today is lighter but is accumulating much more efficiently, we are well over an inch this morning since daylight.

My wife thinks they may be heated sidewalks/walkways Went to dinner tonight at Kemoll's. The clouds obscured the view and we could see the cloud deck was about ten floors below the restaurant. As it changed to snow the cloud deck raised giving a decent view of the arch grounds. One thing i noticed was the pathways on the arch grounds were clear. Anyone know who was able to get that done in the shutdown?  |

Anyone know who was able to get that done in the shutdown? On one of Timmer's videos, it looked like a little Kubota with a snowblower on the front going around. But that might have been on a side street and not on the arch grounds. |

Euro is concerning in terms of ICE for me this weekend. The rich get richer in north central MO. Gfs is basically the only model that doesn't smoke us. Fun times!

Yes, much different set up and more concerning. Arctic air will be involved and things would go from marginal to colder. Not the other way around like this time. |

Exactly Chris. Hard to ignore a 1040 crashing in. Could be a classic rain/ice to snow situation.
Even with an all day rain yesterday this was a heck of storm. 9” final here before the rain. Picked up another inch after that.
I’ve said it 100 times before, following the models is half the fun of winter storms and I’m excited and hopeful we can do it again this week.

Hopefully there aren't complaints until like March. Last night I was looking at the west coast forecasts as they move on shore. If it verifies it would be like 300" of snow in the Sierra. That would help their drought.

I could even do a Feb. 1st, 2011 storm again. I think others within the metro would highly disagree though..lol
