Almost like a small trowel/deformation band just ripping snow over us. Yellows are moving into the metro area

Surprised this didn't trigger a winter weather advisory. Definitely some travel impacts this evening. Several people I spoke too were still caught off guard that it has accumulated so well on the roadways.

Can I interrupt the fun for a Worldserieschampions appreciation post? Dude doesn’t even live here anymore and he is still as all in as anybody in tracking our storms and rooting for us. A tip of the cap to you my friend.

Huge flakes falling in Ballwin and 2" of snow so far. We've been long overdue for an over-performer like this. The flakes look like duck feathers!

A tip of the cap to you my friend. Thanks! My family pretty much all lives in the St. Charles area so I do have a vested interest even if I’m not always physically there lol The truth is there isn’t an equivalent forum in Chicago (quality wise) and I’ve been with this crew since I was 12 so hard to let go. |

Take it back.
The ruler i was using has a 1/2" on each end that is there for what reason??
But the ruler is for 1ft but is 13" with 1/2" on each end.
So that's 3"+ not 3.5"+

Agreed, 3" easily over on the West sound of town near the Fairgrounds. I'm not expecting much Tuesday. I really your GEM is right. I hope the end of next week storm doesn't cut too far north. That's a huge gradient south of STL in the snowfall totals we you move south of town. |

Yeah, still looks like 1-2" left to go before it winds down. Light snow/flurries keep wanna to backbuild southwest though, but regardless we should be wrapping it up for accumulations by around 1-1:30AM. So there we go I'm calling... 5" for Belleville when it's all said and done at least briefly before compaction and melting start settling in.

WSC and I were probably so annoying during the 2009 Christmas meltdown. |
