There's gonna be a monster next week. I think this one has KC to CHI in mind but have to see how strong the high pressing down is.

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. Good stuff. I've seen those with some of our March snows, where they look like snowballs hitting the ground.

The 03z rap is pretty awesome. Really expands the precip ahead of the approaching 850mb low overnight.

Hard to measure with accuracy given the wind and drifting. Difficult to get an accurate measure even given the different areas of my surrounding home. All have one spot on the lower end and the other much higher. Taking the mean with many different measurements, I’m at 5.7 in Florissant

I won't call it a total yet, but the junk that falls tomorrow will probably mash it down. Just measured 4.0" in Perryville. That makes 9.0" for the year.
Beautiful outside. Hopefully rain don't wash it away tomorrow. Now that would stink.

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.... This is completely different from a road standpoint than 1982. I was out in that storm and I was out in this one. Yes, '82 was a surprise to some degree but it wasn't too bad until the thunder started really kicking in around after 10 p.m.. We were in 3"+ per hour territory and depth quickly became the biggest problem...not melting and refreezing like tonight. I had my dad's 76 Honda Civic (the itty bitty one) and was lucky to get home (I used to keep score at the late Saturday night high school hockey games at Brentwood rink). The snow was so deep that it was getting above the bumper...the car was riding up it and the front wheels weren't maintaining contact with the pavement. In general, there weren't that many people out and the bigger problem was people getting stuck at home for days. Today just shows that pre-treating doesn't slow coverage down much when we are getting 1" to 2" per hour and that the road crews can't do their job if the roads are clogged with cars. Hopefully, there weren't too many kids out there that got stuck on school buses this evening. There were quite a few elementary schools that didn't let out until 2:00 p.m That's fine for the kids that live within a mile or two or school, but horrible for staff and kids who had to ride back to the City. The way I look at it...there are few things in life that are important enough to risk a crash or spending the night stranded in a ditch.

PSA for those who own above ground pools: ya may wanna go get the snow/water off the cover. Wife and I were just out clearing what we could...and I now have a pump getting all the water off I can. Cover was getting very tight with the weight of this snow on it! Just wanna help someone maybe save their top rail and/or walls/pool

annoying "backyard" question, but if I'm only at about 5 1/2 in noco, even around here? Yes. 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 I think you meant St. Peters to Warrenton?

lol..Glen is afraid to share what the final amounts can be but the possibility is crazy high.... I watched the segment between 9 and 9:30. I noticed that. He put the color map up which shows the evolution of the accumulations. But no numbers. LOL. Looked to be 12 plus along and especially north of 70.
