Golf ball hail in North St. Peters near Cave Springs. Strangely there's no rain and just an occasional hailstone.

Watching the live stream for a tv station in NW Arkansas. Amazing storms on the radar well back in to Eastern Oklahoma near Muskogee. And heading this general direction.

Posted on the LSX FB page "As of 3/14/24 the NWS St. Louis radar is back in service and available for use." Couldn't happen at a more critical time.

Large tornado watch in effect until 9pm It's one of the largest tornado watches I recall ever seeing.

It'll be interesting to see how those storms are maintained overnight...models show them collapsing as they cross MO but they are being fed by a focused LLJ/WAA Really healthy. But can they survive in our 38⁰ dewpoint?

Only 238 days till the end of Daylight Savings. Sure would be nice if Congress got together enough to stop the semi-annual nonsense before we have to change back.

The Davis on the roof in North St. Pete is slowly getting over his disappointment with the measly .40 inches. What happened? I didn't think we got nearly as much as other had been reporting.

Lightning all over the place in central Missouri but weakens as it gets closer to metro STL.
Par for the course.

The front is through north St. Peters as of 4 AM. We've dropped 10⁰ in 10 minutes.
Also, insomnia is not fun.

Not seeing where we're going to get any significant rain tonight. I'd like to look at the short range models, but but I'm suffering through another 4-Hour plus Charter Spectrum outage I've two (that I know of) very brief showers as of 315 AM. Definitely not what I would call significant.

PV is splitting. There is a good chance late March through the 1st half of April feels more like late February. I expect some serious snow in the northeast and upper Midwest to close the season. Your right WSC and the way its been the last 6 weeks..it will do it now when we're ready for 70's weather we have been having! MN will say HA! Not so fast Midwest!..or something like that. "Now go away or I will taunt you a second time!"

All we gotta do is drive down one us highway to get there I drove 50 from Sacramento to Tahoe in early October in 1990. I can't imagine going through Echo Summit in this weather. I drove from Reno to Sacramento on I-80 in 2006. There is so much tire chain use on that section that the concrete has valleys worn in it where the tires run in each lane.

This is going to come as a surprise, but we had sleet in Marissa this morning. There was sleet in St. Peters, too. Woke me up hitting the back sliding door. Prayers for your sister, Reb.

If models are right the Sierra Nevada Mountains are going to get some epic snows. Watched a forecast out of Sacramento on YouTube this morning that said exactly that. Like 8-12 feet starting early Friday.

I did not have a 60F temperature drop on my bingo card for 2024. And we still have 10 months left! Imagine the possibilities It may not be what we want or need but it won't be dull.

Already at 84⁰. Will we make it to 85⁰ and tie the all time February record or go higher and break it?

I am amused seeing the train station platform heavily salted and it being 78 degrees today 😂 Tomorrow looks icy though, so I get it No doubt the salt is drawing tons of moisture, too.

I just had a brief sprinkle of rain at 230 AM. Few little pop up cells scattered across St. Charles County. That's unexpected.

Meh, first couple weeks in March is better than the the first couple weeks in May. Anyway, we can get almost anything at anytime, so it matters little. I say did there was no good time. But maybe some time during October.

Not that there's ever a good time to do it but can't they find a better time to do radar maintenance than at the time where winter storms transition to spring severe weather?

Snow is going away in hurry. My south-facing front lawn is almost bare already (we had 4.25"), while the houses across the street have 2" probably still left in their yard. That sun angle makes a big difference! 39F I'm up to 43⁰. I had close to 6" and any snow not in the shade is gone.

I have to say all forecasters were on top of this, afaiac. I personally think too often the public hangs on every. Single. Word in a forecast. Also way too much gets read into whether theres a headline or not. Its almost as if a wsw is a status symbol. The difference between an inch of snow and 4 inches of snow is pretty negligible in terms of precip amts, and theres so many variables that go into impact level. The high feb sun certainly tempered my expectations. Like tk mentioned 4.5 inches here, and im surprised there was a cottleville location at 6.7? It seems to be an outlier although the nws 3 miles to my south had a pretty close measurement (5.7 iirc?) I just realize now that since we dont get much snow, a small amt of snow brings impacts and with the new luxury of wfh, i take advantage of that. Rain forecasts are given in increments of .1 or .25 or larger. Increments for snow amount to .01 or .02 of water. That's a pretty fine line to hit compared to the rain prediction. I don't think the general public understands that.

Not sure, the data I pulled from AccuWx Pro shows 3.4" It's correct on the daily summary. 3.4"
They must have corrected. That or I'm more senile than I thought.

Lambert recorded 3.4" with 0.39" liquid equivalent(about 9:1 SLR). I'm confused. Why is the NWS daily summary showing 2.1? The snow started Friday morning and ended Friday afternoon.

Anyone have the official snowfall total at Lambert? 2.1" according to the daily summary. But I thought ch. 2 was reporting 3.3" last night.
