10:1 ratio map caveat as per usual but 18z GFS ensemble mean is a nice thump* along I-80
* as much of a 'thump' as >48 hours of intermittent light-to-moderate snows can be
Feels like the NWS office here is still sticking with the GFS (or at the very least not the NAM), point & click calls for rain & snow becoming all rain tomorrow after an all-snow onset tonight
Weird having both the NAM & Euro showing good snows, not sure what kind of omen that is but it seems kind of tough to see this thing dropping 6” with how ragged & low-amp the event looks to be
1.5" official at the airport, highest storm report in so far is a whopping 3" in the southern suburbs of Omaha
Tough break after 6"+ forecasts around Nebraska City
Starting to wrap up here in Omaha, most riveting ~2.5 hours of the season
Probably an inch or so when it's all set and done, enough to double commute times but not enough to totally cover the grass
Just wouldn't feel right if the SREF / NAM weren't going gangbusters within 72 hours of the event.
Imagine the coworkers wouldn't want to hear about a 1-14" range (set by the ECMWF ENS and RAP, respectively) here in Omaha though so I guess we'll wait & see
