Radar seems like this thing wants to overachieve a bit, as mentioned a bit earlier once the sun goes down. Temps are 34-36 throughout the drive from home to Swansea/Fairview Heights and back to west Belleville.

Looking at the Short Range/Meso models it looks like the RAP is leading the pack with the pivot/stalling point along I-70 and about 15 miles south to 20-25 miles north of it. pretty much encompassing the entire metro area with precip lasting till almost sunrise or 11Z before diminishing, then the next batch kicking in in the late afternoon tomorrow into tomorrow night/Friday AM.

Radar definitely setting up nice for the Metro this evening...hopefully we get some decent snow rates and accumulation. Got a thin dusting so far in Godfrey and still snowing lightly.

The sun setting should help

Heavy dusting in St.Peters as well, but the warm grounds are doing a number. I could see the grass getting covered by the end but the roads should be largely fine. Enjoy folks hopefully this is the start of something nice in January.
Also seems like tomorrows snow may be harder to accumulate reading the discussion from the nws due to drier air in the dgz zone.
Todays flake size is what is allowing us to see brief accumulations overwhelming the warm ground more efficiently.

Eyeballing 0.5" in Brighton...pretty heavy dusting. Looks nice!
Hoping we can keep adding overnight and get the ground covered.

Amazing how the snow has been able to hold today. Gotta love it when it actually goes our way. If only it were colder. But I will take it!!!!

Thoughts on Thurs night? NWS says “Largely unimpactful light snow is forecast to begin Thursday afternoon through Friday morning”
Similar to today other than being overnight?
