Any chance the cloud cover may break up today? Many of our rural roads in Festus are still snow/ice packed. Hoping we can get back to school tomorrow & Friday. I love snow but we need the sun so our kids can get in their finals before Christmas break. Any help is appreciated.

Seems like that's been a fairly common occurrence in the week between Christmas and New Year's for many years recently. This snow will insure the ground is fully saturated |

Anyone else hate the new layout on tropical tidbits? new for mobile, or pc? PC. It moved the hour segments to the top and the ads are blocking some of it. This run of the gfs is looking good in the Day 9-10 range though. Strong high pressure coaxed in place by a lead wave to our north. Energy loaded in the southwest. Looks loaded |

Ive been watching the days after christmas for a a while. At least it looks progressive. Trough in the west, ridge in the east just after christmas with abundant moisture. We will be a singin in the rain for part of that time before the flow becomes more zonal.

I feel for the folks down South who were blanked. Your time is coming We weren’t completely shutout like some others, but for me it’s easier to stomach when it the forecast nails it instead of those 4-6 inch forecasts that turn into 1/2 inch of sleet. This one was locked in down our way from the start. |

I’m not sure if showtime put any totals in, but we ended up with a couple inches of “stuff”—all types.

Things look to get active as we head into the new year looking at the ensembles. A warm SW flow will dominant through the end of the year with a trough centered on the west coast. Unseasonably warm with rain and storms will be the norm. Things start to look more interesting in early January as the trough stays to out west but more cold air starts to filer in from Canada. The big picture setup has the look of an ice storm around here buts that’s trying to get way to detailed this far out

Yep I was just thinking that during the last storm. I think the southern counties got lucky because surface temps were just warm enough to keep accretion rather limited. |

I think the southern counties got lucky because surface temps were just warm enough to keep accretion rather limited. We've been saying this for several years now. Have had a couple close calls where another 2 degrees would have made a major difference. Overdue indeed. |

The effect of the near minimum sun angle is very noticeable. Even though it’s been in the low/mid 30’s with near full sun for 2 days, there has been minimal melting at work with the 5 inch snow pack. Heck, there’s a good bit of ice accretion on the trees still in Perryville.

I noticed the temp at sunset was 21, less than an hour later it was 14! It has since came back up to 18.8 now with a light wind out of the east.

Maybe my temp gauge is wrong...I am still at 24* 7 miles west of de soto. Bororug or anyone else close to help with calibration.  It is an old unit. So am I, but I am not ready for replacement just yet. |

Likely warm warm warm Right, but he also says the GFS-FV3 is on an island and gives it maybe a 30% chance of verifying. The other models and ensembles disagree. |
