The ICON reminds me of the old GEM that was always over-amped with a major cold bias. Come on everyone The Germans want to throw us a bone..lol they know how starved we are..hey I'm in Waterloo and part German big German population here..I'll keep hope alive...well if it fails I'll just head over to the Stubborn German in town and drown my Winter sorrows.. Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

Full sunshine in Godfrey this afternoon. 48hrs ago models had it ripping snow. Unbelievably poor model performance. Full sunshine in far north St. Peters, too. Started getting breaks in the clouds about 10 AM or so.

I planted tomato and pepper seeds yesterday. Yeah, I’m starting to go in that direction too. My mom (when she was alive) was a school teacher. She would plant her tomatoes, cauliflower, broccoli, all those kinds of crops when she would have the day off for President's Day. Of course she kept them in house until it got warmer.

As Chris said several days ago this sounds very much like a March or April snow event

C’mon man there is not even a remote chance that anyone’s lawn will be remotely close to needing mowed in the CWA in 2 weeks. I think you misunderstood him. He is cutting the grass... he just wants to mow down the mole hills. No way grass will be growing... especially with colder air slowly swinging back our way. So he's making mole burger?

Waiting to hear the spring peepers before I believe! I've been hearing a few cardinals chirping around in the morning for a couple of weeks. This morning I heard some other birds joining the cardinals. So spring is not far off.

If we get any hail tonight can we consider it very large, exceptionally heavy, exceptionally solid snowflakes?

3-6" of heavy WET snow but never gets deeper than 0.5-1.5" due to ground temps and melting. Hasn't that been the story of just about all our snow this winter?

I'm sure Iowa will enjoy their snow storm next week...once again it looks like the N stream doesn't want to play ball and get the cold air in place ahead of the storm. That would be number 6 or 7 this winter for Iowa

Been there already. Wasn't impressed. The drinks were the big to-do and they were overpriced and fru-fru. The food was a couple of levels above standard national chains, but we didn't think it was worth the money. Thanks for that. I was super curious. My wife and I don't eat out near like we used to but always willing to try something new or recommended. We don't drink anymore either, not sure if that's showing causation or if that's just background noise.🤔🤪🤪😁 My wife never drank and I don't any more. So the fancy drinks weren't a big draw for us either.

I don't have 'first hand' knowledge, BUT, went to Firebird's after the Train Show on Sat and was told we would have a 4.5 hour wait. This was at 4:30pm. We could have set 7 of us at 2 separate 3-4 chair tables but that is no fun. We asked about call in reservations and was told that was a 5 day waiting period. WTH So it 'must' be pretty good. Pretty pricey too. If you go, post back a review please. Been there already. Wasn't impressed. The drinks were the big to-do and they were overpriced and fru-fru.

On the bright side we only have 50 days till spring. The days are getting longer, rt? Generally I get up about 630 am. After last week's clouds this morning I noticed there was some daylight on the horizon at 630. First time since last fall.

Completely off topic...
Does anyone know of a good non-chain steakhouse or seafood restaurant near I-70 in the St. Charles, St. Peters, O'Fallon area?

I used to follow JB when I was younger, no longer do. As for our weather looks like dense fog and also mist here and there is going to stick around until our third round of rain bubbles up from the SW to the NE after 9am (10-11am in the STL metro tomorrow. There may be some fog that lingers tomorrow afternoon but it should dissipate. It's taking awhile for the ground to warm. There was still hard frost about 2" down yesterday. Definitely a slow thaw. Hard to thaw the ground with no sun. Even a weak winter sun is better than none.

Is the rain that falls in the next few days going to help the drought? Or is the ground too frozen from the last ten days that the rain won't soak in?

That fire truck video was on the 5 o’clock news along with interviews! I'd bet it's making the news all over the country, if not much of the world, in the next few days.

35⁰ for the last couple of hours. North facing driveway and sidewalk are still ice covered. Street is looking pretty clear; mostly dry.

Then there is the 00z NAM which is nearly bone dry through 10am. 00z NAM3k is almost bone dry too. So it's not just snow that leaves St. Louis out in the cold?

Oh, sure when we're getting snow and we don't want temperatures to rise then they go above freezing in a hurry. But when we're getting ice and we want them to rise that's when they take their sweet time going above freezing.

Estimating 1½ inches here given the wind. Grass is mostly covered. Streets are mostly just wet, especially since the salt truck came through without the blade down.

Still snowing at 1 AM and the wind is starting to pick up. I'm looking through my cameras which are in night mode so it's a little hard to see but I think the grass is covered.

Snow a few counties to the northwest of the metro area. But no mPING reports in that area. Is that virga?
