I mentioned this before. Starting to look ahead. First of all christmas pretty quiet and mild. In fact gfs may not be mild enough. Then bw christmas and new years a pattern change is depicted. During this time period, potentially wet times and the pattern is suggestive of thunderstorms. Around the new year we settle back into cold times and quiter wx. There is some upslope snow depicted in the front range of the rockies as high pressure sinks south and new low pressure tries to spin up in the sw. Not sure if this will lead to more snow in the first week of jan but for now i stand by my conceptual seasonal outlook that we will wait a long time for our next big winterstorm. Got a long way to go for my 20 inch forecast verifies. Reflective PV disruption starting to show up for early January. This would lead to a cold central and eastern US. Cold doesn’t mean snow, but it’s half of the ingredients... |

Still a lot of precip upstream too. If it stays FZRA you may start having some power issues. I’m starting to get that heavy freezing rain as well, west of Perryville. Hopefully we change to sleet here soon. The trees and power lines may not take what’s coming up from the southwest if it stays liquid. Temperature seems to have dropped since this morning. Winds will start to kick up this afternoon and evening so that will exacerbate any ice problems |

I have 3 inches of snow for today. Coz -- where do you stand? Surely, you must have about the same amount?

Looks like the radar is starting to fill in quite a bit. Hope that trend continues.

With the backbuilding out to the west and the second batch later this evening we should be good for another 2-3", with 6" on the ground I think my prediction at least for my house should be spot on.

In a lull here in far north St. Louis county. Thought it was almost over so we could attack the driveway (except for the possibly later tonight) but not sure after looking at radar. Little more development close and to the west.
Four inches total storm depth so far.

Oh, and Schnucks is gonna close early at 8PM, so I don't have to report to work. Just got the call a few mins ago.
Thank goodness as a trip to the post office was a nightmare with having to get back up my hill of a driveway...

Still rain at KFAM, predominantly only freezing on surfaces well elevated (powerlines and trees), a little slush on the roads and a little freezing on vehicles in spots. Starting to have multiple reports of power lines down.

Bet the NWS is glad they didn't "*drop* the warning" and "chalk it up as a loss"!

In regards to wave 2, yes it's weak, but there's still some indications that it could flare up again as it approaches St. Louis, already some indications of this as weak returns are blowing up in Western Missouri and spreading eastward while the shield in Kansas weakens and eventually dissipates due to a transfer of energy.

Still snowing heavily in Waterloo. I can't get a good measurement at the moment but I think between 2" yesterday and the snowfall today we have seen 7-8" total. I don't know how much snow was left on the ground from yesterday between compaction and melting most of the snow that fell on the pavement had all melted away. If we can pick up a few inches this evening then 10" storm total over 2 days isn't out of the realm of possibility though still likely a long shot.
