The Ole Bucket

I could complain that we didn't get more, but what's the point? A decent result here in southeast Missouri (about 6") and bitterly cold this morning.

Likely going to score a quick inch this morning here in SEMO before the main event.

Well since it completely plasters my backyard I would say now

A foot of pure powder IMBY according to the 18Z GFS (Kuchera) I would gladly take half of that!

This is a forecast if I've ever seen one for next Tuesday.. Cloudy with snow showers becoming a steady accumulating snow later on. Very cold. High 16F. Winds NNE at 10 to 15 mph. Chance of snow 80%. Snow accumulating 3 to 5 inches.

This is real #LOCKITIN stuff right now

I will absolutely have what the 12Z GFS is having for next Tuesday.

They might be on course for the record

Got family in north Florida. No way that Kuchera map verifies for Duval/St Johns county.. right?!

12z GFS today still likes a storm next Thursday. And then gets wacky around 300hr with an absolute bomb

18z GFS is wild for next week.

There have been no disappointments in the other regional boards so far. Even the despondent Midwest folks who have been hosed so far this winter are slightly happy! Here in SEMO we're on course for at least 6" IMBY. Maybe 7 as it keeps trucking as I post this.

Yeaaah that's the good stuff man. Nice. Definitely cleared the bar here and the warning criteria materialized. Probably 6" in the end. Still light-to-mod snow out there. 31F. Calm winds. Gorgeous.

This one seems like big boom/bust potential. Signal is there but of course the track is what is gonna matter most. For sure going to be COLD again behind it. Would be a shame to lose all this snowpack when the temps get into the upper 40s next Thurs/Fri and then get 33F, cold rain.. followed by single-digit lows.
