Wow! Really coming down. Wish this would last longer. I bet it is a whiteout in Red Bud.

I’m guessing between 1/4 and a 1/2 inch so far.... wind is blowing everything around

Which storm is the Tuesday storm? The one over Idaho, or northern CA?

Man it's rippin. This is as close to a true blizzard as I've ever seen. Right there next to Jan 5, 2014. Amount obviously won't come close but it's awesome right now.
I don't intend to rub it in, but I'm gonna keep reporting while the getting is good lol.

Hope to hang onto it for a few more hours but I know that back edge will come quicker than I want it to.

Don’t be afraid to post some pics to rub it in

The southerners definitely deserve it. I know I won't get much up here but at this point I'm happy with anything.

I’m just south of Farmington, between Farmington and Fredericktown. Heavy snow and blowing conditions. Yard covered. Looks amazing! I don’t feel bad at all for STL. I can’t count the number of times I sat here and read the forum just to hear what it was like to get snow while I had a dusting to nothing. We’re not even close to catching up. We deserve some love too. :-) Amen! And with our luck down here, this storm may be it for the year.

I went back through the mesoanalysis and here's the evolution of the 850mb low. You can see the original decaying low in northern MO. Then a developing wave axis, very approximately drawn. And finally a new center of circulation in AR. Not well modeled and makes for a tricky forecast. Leaves us in the metro dry. But I am happy members in the southern part of the area are getting in on some fun weather.

The dry air monster is really undercutting the snow this far back. Looks like we will end up with a half inch. It's impossible to tell but the world is white again

Hope to hang onto it for a few more hours but I know that back edge will come quicker than I want it to. Agreed. Huge flake size now. Hope to post some pictures I took in a little bit. Huge freaking flakes as big as I have seen in a long time!

That deathband from Farmington to Red Bud looks amazing. It is still snowing nicely on the NE side of Waterloo but won't last much longer. Don't think I'll pick up more than a half inch. At least everything is white again.

Huge freaking flakes as big as I have seen in a long time! That's the difference between yours and ours right now. Pouring salt shaker and pencil erasers in Marissa.

That was definitely not modeled well...I guess the GYB was sorta right after all at least with the h85 track. That transfer of energy definitely left us high and dry up here...and models did pick up on that but were off with the h85 low track for sure.

TWO THINGS:
1. THERE WILL BE WIDESPREAD COTTON BALL LIGHTS NO LATER ON THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH MOST OF THE EVENING BECAUSE OF THE INTENSE LOW-LEVEL COLD AIR
2. THIS STORM HAS TRENDED SO MUCH WARMER ON THE NORTHEAST COAST THAT MANY OF THE POMPOUS WEATHER WEENIES OUT THERE ARE GOING TO SEE HARDLY ANY SNOW AND IT'S STRAIGHT CHANGE OVER TO RAIN.
SOME OF THEM THAT WERE EXPECTING 8 TO 16 IN AS OF LAST NIGHT OR GOING TO SEE 2-3IN AND THEN RAIN.
SO JOYOUS
