Yep, what’s out west looks like a 1 incher to me as well. Your numbers are right in line with mine (as they should, residing in same neighborhood lol). 😁

However if somehow that area from Lebanon to Jeff City fills in, possibly more. Doesn’t look like that’s gonna happen though.

I am sitting at 2" for today...3.7 on the ground and hoping for another 1-2 this evening. For all the different pieces and complexities of this storm... Im pretty happy with what I will have on the ground. Too bad all but the piles will be gone by Christmas... but it sure is festive to look at right now! Is that total what you measured just now after some of that IP/ZL yesterday evening? That graupel compacted mine a good qtr inch. Might have deflated your total currently just a smidge. |

I measured 5 inches on the truck topper so if mores coming, we may end up with 6-7 in Festus!

My dear neighbor came down my hill and said let me snow plow! I’ll get it done in 10 min! I said there’s more coming and he said
Then I’ll do it again! This dear man will get cookies or bread
Or something!

Had to drive from Cedar Hill to basically St.Johns on Ballas to pick up the wife from work. Main roads are good in most spots. Slush covered in others. I was a bit surprised that they were as good as they are. Side roads are a different story though.

from disco
looks like another 2-3 or so
More widespread heavier snow and mixed precipitation has moved off
to the east associated with the strongest upper-level dynamics and
mesoscale forcing. However, the RAP/HRRR does develop another band
of light-moderate snowfall, which latest satellite/radar imagery
suggests may be in the process of developing from just southeast of
KSGF to KVIH. This band should move up the I-44 corridor and impact
much of the St. Louis metropolitan area through 5-6 PM. An
additional 1-2" is possible with this band of snow assuming it
intensifies as expected. Further west, widespread light snow
associated with the midlevel vorticity maxima across eastern Kansas
and western Missouri should spread eastward across the CWA through
this evening. Widespread 1" to perhaps 2" of snow is forecast
associated with this final wave of snow with this event.

I measured 4.25" when I went to plow driveway. Add .25" from yesterday and guessing another .25" has fallen since starting to plow/shovel for total of 4.75" so far. The snow sure was beautiful earlier this morning. Another 2-4 possible??? Wow. Is there any double jackpotters on here from yesterday and today?? I think I read some 10" number but I believe that is a 'possible; from what is added later on tonight.

Another 2-4 seems like a stretch to me... 1-2 yes...maybe 3" for a few lucky ones.. but I will be suprised to see another 4" anywhere.

I'd say another 2-4" is a stretch...I'm thinking 2" on the high side.
Starting to get some BLSN and minor drifting out here near Brighton in open areas. Looks like we got an additional 1/2" today so far.

Got to 6.5” officially before this latest lull. That is just for today. 7.25” total and solid glaze of ice.
Starting to really ramp up again. I want to make it to 10”!

We are on the higher end of 7.5 easy. I went to blow the driveway and ended up helping several neighbors with theirs.

Measured just a hair under 6 inches here in Cedar Hill. I'm glad I thought to clear the table this morning before it started again.

Moderate band develop right over Wentzville area. Good size flakes That backside band is providing some bonus snow to the western parts of the viewing area. That skinny little band has been sitting right over St.Charles county and western portions of STL County (Chesterfield). The morning and evening bands converged right over us.
We didn't cash in on the that fgen band that strolled SE of us so I'll take the bonus |

Not a flake here for over 2 hours .... sure hope that band to the west moves in if not we will miss out again.... I think Dscrieb and myself might have to sacrifice a chicken or something lol

So far about 8" in Waterloo (2" yesterday & 6" today). Crazy to think that if I see 2" this evening that'll bring me to 10". 2" this evening certainly isn't out of the question. I don't ever recall 3 waves of snow from one storm. When all is said and done this is going to go down as one the better snowstorms in many years.
