I was surprised we got as much as we did in phase #2 so ended up with around 5" total storm accumulation. There was a lot of compaction here with some ice underneath.
We're in far North County.

Having issues on mobile site again today. What’s the deal? Keeps redirecting me to ads I used to have that and got an ad-blocker, helps most of the time. I also noticed recently spaces below certain posts that say "SPONSORED", even though sometimes there's no ad. |

I consider us fortunate to have this kind of storm with the shape the teleconnections were in. I'm still a firm believer in those...if you look back at the historical data over the years, it's tough to get a meaningful winter storm if the EPO isn't negative or at least near neutral. It had been highly positive. I think we will see that flip to negative with the coming of the new year, along with potential negative NAO which could spell fun times.

No wasn't me, after my post to you yesterday around 3pm, I was in the truck plowing, until around 6am this morning. Just in time to greet my employee's that were slowly making their way in, surprisingly, I think I'm only down 3 or 4 workers. Then I went home for a much needed nap, now back to work Modracer, is yours the 9.2 storm total from Chris's post on FB? I ask because I can corroborate that total. We had an additional 1.5 to 1 and 3/4's inch last evening during the deformation snow. 9.2 is what I had and I am half a mile or so north, northeast of Mascoutah. |

One thing I found interesting with this storm is how poor the euro did with Monday’s storm.....

One thing I found interesting with this storm is how poor the euro did with Monday’s storm..... I agree... especially after having done so well with part 1... it was alao the first model to show some meaningful potential with part 2... but then it loat it. It did hang on to the band location... but its amounts were well short. On the other hand...once the NAM caught on... it ran with it... as did the HRRR and RAP...granted with some minor placement errors...but they did a nice job once they figured it out. |

Temp trends tonight could be interesting. If we decouple surface winds and stay cloud free temps may free fall with a fresh and deep snow cover

Im sure this was one of the toughest systems to forecast. There were 3 areas of heaviest axises. Model guidance in terms of track and qpf was all over the place. You did a bang up job on your forecasts. Im also wondering if you have replaced dave murray on the vaca superstition that we get interesting weather while youre on vaca.
As for the warmup christmas week, well, ppl will get to grandmas hopefully in one piece. Im off all week, so its all good for me. The gfs previously had a severe look to it after christmas, so that might be something to keep an eye on.
Not sure abt rtn of a winter pattern...long term, gfs is pretty transient with cold air.

New Handover? Isn't that just the latest tax legislation to come out of Springfield?

Did the NWS have a final snow total map?
We had 7.5-9" by the Metrolink in Belleville.
I spent all day at the Enterprise center and Union station and that park by the post office on market.
And when I finally got home at 1045pm it was very clear Belleville got noticibly more snow than downtown.

Im not sure it will be slow for long. Im concerned about heavy rain potential developing out of the pattern just past Christmas.
