0.5-0.75 inch in my driveway. The leaf blower made quick work of clearing the driveway and sidewalks.

Surprise, surprise...eyeballing 5/8-3/4" on the deck railing 7 miles west of De Soto. Temp 7*. Crap, that means I gots to take the wife to babysit. I prefer to cruise over to play with the grandkids at a more respectable hour. Like 10:30-11am instead of 6:15.   |

Both NAMs look solid for our Thursday night system.

FV3 Kicks it off as early as Thursday morning, not long after midnight along and north of I-70 and has decent banding showing up. Watch that will be our 'big snow'. Always the ones that show up in the nearer term of the models. Not the ones a week plus out.

Going to be a hard call for some schools tomorrow. Roads around here are covered and with temps being so low I can’t imagine any treatment will help.

Nice snowfall here in Ste. Gen county. Looks like as much or a little more than last night. Looks to wrap up soon but was nice to watch fall out the window while it lasted past hour or so.

Bunch of schools have called for tomorrow out here. Mostly due to cold I think I teach at one of our private schools in the area without busses. As I drove home from my other job this evening roads were horrid. Not sure we want to have a couple hundred cars coming on to our lot tomorrow morning. It could be a disaster. |

Despite the meager radar returns it is snowing quite nicely once again in Perryville. You take what you can get!

id say like 1.5" here but I am not going out to measure so take that as maybe not accurate. I don't want to eyeball a higher number than everyone else

This is some heavy pixie dust falling... much heavier than radar suggests. Flake microphysics is fascinating to me.

Im going to estimate an even 2 inches before compaction intesting lambert recieved 1.2 inches just before midnight with only .04 inches of liquid. Either I am doing the math wrong but is that a 30 to 1 snow ratio at the airport, and if that is that is the highest I have ever witnessed in my life in this part of the country.

Maybe a 1/2” here in Northern SG County. Was nice to sit by the fire last night, kids all asleep, watching the NFL game/snow globe outside. More years than not we get systems around my birthday mid February(from childhood to now.) So I am ok if it warms up for a week or two.

.5 inches in Cedar Hill. One thing I noticed about this snow was how much it sparkled. Looked very cool falling through the floodlights.

I remember when it took six inches of snow to cancel school. Times have sure changed. Not better, not worse, just different.

Classic example of relatively low precip, high impact event. I dropped the wife off downtown and didn't even try to attempt westbound 40/64. Sounded like there were wrecks at just about every major road along the way.

Models see to want to build the glacier in Iowa later this week while we get screwed. Inches of rain next though!

I remember when it took six inches of snow to cancel school. Times have sure changed. Not better, not worse, just different. Bus companies don’t want to take a chance in a very litigious society. Superintendents don’t want to take a chance with improperly clothed children waiting at bus stops. |

I remember when it took six inches of snow to cancel school. Times have sure changed. Not better, not worse, just different. I lived in south city and walked to the neighborhood Catholic school. It took a lot to close it. I can remember doing that walk, in the bitter cold with snow piled up. Ducking behind the cars being warmed up to get a little warmed up on the way (totally unsafe I know, but desperate times call for desperate measures). If we were lucky, the teachers would open the school early so we could stand inside before classes started instead of freezing outside. Listening to KMOX at 5:00AM (after the Our Father & Star Spangled Banner) to hear our school’s name was got me first interested in snow. We were in the parade of Saints so it took forever. |

Same principal for my kids as I had 35 years ago. We never get called off, but it's more frequent now than back in the day. I will say, drop off was a little sparse this morning. |
