I hate it when tweets get pushed out that are obsolete. That’s not what Twitter is for. Click on the link and it’s a 14 hour old article. Major networks do also.   |

.UPDATE...
Issued at 1216 PM CST Sat Jan 12 2019
Winter storm continues to impact the region early this afternoon.
Water vapor imagery is showing the back edge of the warm conveyor
belt nearing the Mississippi River moving eastward. Warm advection
precipitation should move off to the north and east by mid/late
afternoon with more scattered activity upstream. Precipitation
type will be tricky but general thought is that mostly snow will
be along/northeast of I-44 in Missouri and I-55 in Illinois. Some
sleet or snow pellets are also possible, particularly with more
showery echoes.
The other thing to watch evolve over the next 6-9 hours will be
the deformation zone upstream. Model guidance suggests that this
area across western Missouri to weaken with time, but redevelop
just after dusk across central portions of the CWA. In areas where
this is snow, additional accumulations of 1-3 inches are possible
as snowfall should accumulate more efficiently in the absence of
daylight. After this area moves off to the east/southeast, cloud
ice will be lost so freezing drizzle/drizzle will likely be the
primary precipitation type. A light glaze of ice is possible with
this freezing drizzle.
Only change to headlines was to cancel winter storm warning for
far southern and eastern sections of the forecast area where
temperatures are well above freezing and only rain is expected
through this evening.

M 10.0 dardenne prairie at 10 am. Compaction has begun so it is unlikely i will add much to that total. 10 here as well - compaction sucks |

Accumulating snow has set in again.
I just got in from plowing the driveway and I can tell you that the moisture content with this snow is VERY high. It piles up like a foot+. I'm going to call the storm total 8" considering compaction.

I don't want to hear anyone complain about their 8-10 inches being compacted. There's currently a steady rain falling on what's left of my 4 inches  . |

Rain here now. Plus it's melting off the trees. I love these snows, but I wish they would stick around for more than a day.

Has anyone noticed, the snow has a blue tint to it, or are my eyes playing tricks on me?
I have been up since midnight, with 1-1/2 hrs sleep...lol

1:00 pm Snow depth: 10.0/ E 11.0 I took a measurement because I have been getting some bursts of moderate to heavy snow over the past several hours, and snow continues to fall. Compaction has taken its toll on me, so many parts of my yard may be under 10, especially on the south side. But I've been measuring on the north side, slightly sloped, so I'll say I still have 10, but I think what has actually accumulated over time has been an estimated 11 inches.

Southerners like their snow cream...saw recipes posted on facebook, and the usual urban legendary caution not to make it on the first snow of the season. Here's why I don't buy into that...first snow, 200th snow...whatever...all the little ice crystals had condensed/sublimated on a condensation nuclei...otherwise, there wouldn't be precip. Eat any snow icecream at your risk - the biggest risk is the raw egg, but there is an eggless recipe. Grew up eating it in the 70s and I'm still alive. We would scoop the snow about 8 inches below the top

HRRR 18Z thinks we might get an additional 2-5" later this evening as 850MB temps cool back. Looks like the metro-east down to Potosi, MO seems most likely to benefit.
