I really like the way we have been doing snow days in Wentzville the past couple of years. We get 6 free, real deal snow days, then the 6 after that we do virtual learning. If we were to have more than that, we make them up at the end of the year.

Glenn was just on this last half hour with model amounts that would blow your mind! I don’t believe it on a couple of them. But we are going to get lots!

I do however hope he comes up with his own snowfall amount totals map instead of using the models. He is a Chief Meteorologist so I feel he should be able convey to the public by using his expertise, experience and skills set to put a snowfall prediction map together. Sorry, that just frustrates me when he does that. Sorry for the rant. |

The 18Z Euro pulling the axis of maximum snow/sleet a bit further south. It is now on the north and west side of the metro area.  |

18Z GFS Cobb totals at KSTL are about 17" which includes about 0.5" of sleet. There is about 0.25" of freezing rain before that.

One more nice little 20-30 mile push south tonight would put the metro right in the sweet spot , not that current modeling is bad

Here is what bufkit looks like in terms of elevated instability. There is an hour with about 40 j/kg of elevated right as we transition from sleet to snow. It's been years since I've looked at this stuff, but if I remember correctly you really want to see it closer to 100 j/kg to see a few rumbles of thunder. I don't think we can eliminate the possibility of an isolated strike. This is only for thermodynamic convection. There is conditional slantwise convection that can contribute as well, but I don't have the tools to assess that.  |

Wonder what they'll do with the piles of snow in developed areas like downtown STL and downtown Clayton. In 1982 the National Guard dumped it in the Mississippi. But I think that's prohibited for environmental reasons now. Wonder if they can dump it in an empty lot or whether that's not permitted, either.
