Yeah..but there is only a 10% chance that 50%-60%chance comes to fruition.

So close to that 6” mark. The drifts are making it feel like an 8-12” snow. Pretty rare storm for this neck of the woods.

Not sure if it’s just stuff blowing around or not but have had constant flurries since the main snow stopped.

Rare for around here indeed. The blowing snow out there right now is legit. In fact even more so than the 2014 storm. I went and remeasured a bunch and I'm going with 5.5".

That’s a little over kill for track in that amount of snow. 😍 That’s what my neighbor said. He usually takes them out to Colorado and climbs mountains. It definitely was enjoyable but can’t see ever buying one. Mountain sledding is on my bucket list. I just have trail sleds

Glad we've all at least gotten something so far this winter. A couple more systems that work out for us and I'd call it a massively successful season. It's been a pretty great season overall...Dec was pretty much a loss but this stretch is the payoff for that. Looks like hardcore winter may be setting in...models develop a blue norther pattern beyond D5. Looks like the S branch will get squashed in the extended but the clipper flow looks solid. So 3 storms in a row then a pattern change...pretty typical. Euro looks crazy cold towards D8-10 with the vortex lobe decending deep into Ontario/Quebec. I wouldn't be surprised if this pattern lasts well into February. Hopefully we can get the vortex to back up into central Canada and have some real fun.

Here's when it was just absolutely ripping around 3pm. We easily had two inch per hour rates for a bit. My best guess at a measurement is just north of 5". I feel comfortable calling it 5.5” 7 miles west of you. Interested to see what Farmington had. Fredericktown was at 5” around 4 pm and the heavy stuff was past so that would be close to me as well. All in all, a very fun Saturday. Very rare to see the weather we had today and it continues into tonight.

We got zippo in my portion of St. Peters as far as I could tell. But that's okay. I'll gladly share the wealth with those that live in the land where no one lives.
On the other hand, while eating supper my wife and I were attacked by a fairly good sized beetle/stink bug/some sort of flying insect. Don't know whether he came in from the garage or outside or just what. But rather odd to see something you might see in September bopping around the house in mid January. But on the plus side he was nice enough to beat his brains on the light over the table for a while and then fall to the table where I squished him in a napkin without even having to move from my chair.

This is only reports through 4pm Alot of warnings north of the metro seem to have busted. Quincy and Springfield only getting that much snow is surprising. This system was a headache for sure We had a half to 3/4" easy but impossible to measure

I wouldn't be surprised if this pattern lasts well into February. Hopefully we can get the vortex to back up into central Canada and have some real fun. If somebody has access to the euro starting next week, beyond mid week storm, I'd be awfully interested in seeing how that plays out. GFS has hard core winter coming in midweek, and the clipper track looks active - pretty confident in chances of snow late week into the weekend with generous lsr ratios potential even though the qpfs are not as impressive as the last few cyclones we've tracked. I see three shots at snow, but of course, things can change after the midweek cutter. Climatologically speaking, February is a time where we watch some big snows and as I've been saying, and continue to say, I think we've got a good chance to see some major winterstorms through the nation's midsection. If models try to erode the cold too quickly in longer ranges on the GFS after the clipper pattern, I would be skeptical. Chances are, these kind of things evolve into major winterstorms, and reinforcing shots of cold. The CPC has forecasted enhanced odds of colder than normal and drier than normal February; The drier than normal isn't anything to be concerned about. With record snows in the late 1970s, the precipitation was actually below normal. Longer term, I suspect that we flip to Spring in early March, but not before many of us will say things like "this has been good...", and others may say, "ok I've had enough".

Parts of my yard have like 2-3" then there's a big drift that wraps around the side that's about a foot and a half deep easy. Crazy storm and one I won't soon forget!

Looks like a maybe some backside snow Tuesday into Wednesday with that system and then multiple clippers bringing some serious cold air next weekend. Buckle up....

A quick check of facebook - I see no postings from my friends referencing the snow, other than what Grant Dade reported on a few hours ago. If I see any fb reports that appear legitimate, I'll let you know.

At 3:15 Weather With Bob Clubbs (their local weather enthusiasts facebook page) - numerous reports of whiteout conditions, thundersnow, etc...but the accumulations seem to be more on the moderate side as of then. I 55 closed in Ste. Genevieve County due to a multicar crash.

Seems like northwest Cape county into Perry county were the jackpots. Due likely to that "death band." That was freaking intense when it rolled through.
I'm hearing lots of power outages in Perry county. I'm still up and winds should start to peter out soon.

Everything 1/2 price @ DQ in Coulterville...sure, why not? Roads were so-so most of the way, but really sh***y in spots. I'm sure Rte 4 going north from here to St. Libory is just as bad in places. Wonder if anybody at IDOT knows that it snowed down here where nobody lives.

I’m right there with you... can’t wait to watch the models come in again..... Tuesday night has a chance to drop a quick hit of snow.... clippers can be sneaky good also

Went from a muddy, wet yard from melted snow last weekend to 4” imby today. Plenty snow to get out and sled and build snowmen, although the wind was so strong we lost one sled and my 4 year old gave out after 15 minutes.
Glad us southerners caught one.
Bring on another one!

I 55 closed in Ste. Genevieve County due to a multicar crash. I-55 is in terrible shape from Ste. Gen and south due to blowing snow. My niece is married to a tow-truck driver and they are having to pull the trucks up the off-ramp. The wind blown-snow looks like something from the Great Plains.

If you are on facebook, I highly recommend you like Weather With Bob Clubbs. (I thought you might have already followed him) - I find his facebook page helpful. He has NEVER misrepresented weather forecasts, but he helps bring all the thoughts together. He reports the weather, and he from time to time displays some of the models for that area. This kind of storm is reminiscent of the storms I witnessed in that part of the country....unexpected. Maybe Friv could have sounded the warning bells for that area...lol. It is a bit harder to get various thoughts on the weather other than what comes through the media because the network stations are spread out between Cape, Harrisburg, IL; and Paducah, KY. It is hard to get reports out of that area too.
