Are kidding me? 40 Eastbound closed at Clayton not because of an accident but because the overpass is too dangerous...I can't remember a time where it has been this serious on so many highways other than 82....

Ummm. Glenn? I’ve got 8” on the ground. With several more hours of snow to go. How much will be on the ground at 7am? The idea of a lull will likey be overnight into morning. Before the 850mb low starts pressing through MO. Then we are really in the LLJ cross hairs. |

I just got to 6". First time I've reached major winter storm accumulation in over 5 years.

If he’s saying 7-9” by 7am. Thinking there will be a larger range on the ground by 7am. |

I'm closing in on 7 inches. Just went and made my last measurement for the night. It's a shame we've got this beautiful storm, and I started feeling like I'm getting a sinus infection! The dog was wanting to play in the snow, but I didn't feel up to it. So, is this change in the weather the result of the ssw?

Non-snow PSA for any of my fellow bourbon drinkers: if you haven't tried the Woodford Double Oaked, you're missing out on one of the finest bourbons made today.

The true beauty of the SSW and PV is about to reveal itself in a big way the next couple weeks. Huge cold pool in Canada and blocking developing. |

Yeah. I would think by 7AM most of us in the immediate metro will be around 10" |

That's why Dave Murray gave one number. The better snows overnight are falling NW of STL. You will be under heavier snow longer and redevelopment. The front end laid more out along and SE of 44/64. But the better snows overnight is along i70. The overlap point is NW of STL like St. Peters or Warrensberg |

We’re about to get pounded here Friv Yeah in about 45 mins. Then a break. We probably won't see another big blast of accumulations until tomorrow. But I think after this beasting takes place. Moderate snow on and off all night tho. Probably 10-12" by morning |

Finally settled into my hotel room after dinner and a few beverages. Looking at current radar trends...both here and upstream...and comparing to various short term model solutions...I think the storm total of 8-12 is still going to work well.
The focus for heavy snow is shifting northeast with time... and based on what has already been observed (3" to 8")...what is going on now (band of heaviest snow lifting north)...and what the models are and have been advertising (slowly weakening 850mb low) I see maybe another 3 to 5" along and north of I-70... and maybe 1-3 south...at most. That gets us to about 8-12..maybe 13. Thats where I see it right now...from way out east in Cincinatti.

I'll be lucky to get much more accumulating snow in afraid. But I just experienced the biggest flakes I've ever seen in my life. Not kidding, some were 3+ inches around.

Keep in mind when looking at 00z runs... almost the entire first six hours worth of snow on the model has already fallen!
So if you had 5" at 6pm... and 7" now...and the model says you have another 6" to go on to...thats 6" from what you had at 00z/6pm...not 6" on top of what you have now.

glen thinks next weekend could be a storm like this one. what is he basing that on All 3 global models show cold air and a storm. I disagree that it will look the same though. Next week could be a wound up low that rapidly deepens. Result could still be the same, but different mechanisms. |
