What's in the water in Ballwin, anyway? Haha Don't put me in quite the same category as PBC...just some mild disappointment here from possibly unrealistic hopes. Still looking at a great scene outside that beats everything else I've seen this winter. I really wanted that 10" mark...it's been awhile. Regardless, I'll be outside in it all day. |

Sitting right at 6 inches total in WashMO. no complaints here. Not much movement west to east in the radar. Looks like we’ll be getting it for most of the day.

The radar returns are light under Wentzville, but this fine flakes are adding up very efficiently

3.5" of new snow since midnight putting us on the brink of 9" storm total here in Brighton. 14*
Starting to get that 2014 look with the drifts. Friggin' winter wonderland unless you're out in it. Hearing reports of roads blown shut locally.

It'll be interesting to see how long the back edge can hold on for the SE portions of the area this afternoon.

The flake size and the way it is coming down reminds me of the March 14, 2000 (?) southern MO storm. I had about 10 inches from that one.

Little over 2.5 inches in some spots and others a hair under 2.75. I’m going with 2.5 to take into account that some of that might be skewed with it blowing around. Definitely beautiful watching it come down here in Ste. Gen.

I don’t have an exact measurement but I would guess about 9/10” in O’Fallon with another 3-5 to arrive…

How rare is it that we can all feel like we are getting something out of a system? This to me is a winner for everyone!

Traffic cams in northern Arkansas show it ripping hamsters. I hope that translates here in a few hours. That stuff is intense!
