First flakes starting to fall

Those are some anomalies in the south-central Plains next week...high temps 40 to 45°F below average

Not missing much. I wonder if this power outages is impacting the chiefs too

That’s how it felt outside my house last night while the radar was green all around me and nothing was falling

You could do it. We’ll have chances right through the start of March

I’m throwing in the towel on me getting 60” from the stretch between February 2-March 20. BOOOOOOOO

Would be nice. But I'm not going to complain too much about these last few events, we have to take what we can get. We wanted an active weather pattern and we've certainly got it. If the next 6 weeks is a slew of 3-6" events...I'll gladly take it.

Glad you posted 3.5"...that's about what I was getting but I didn't really have an accurate way to measure. The yard still had a good solid 1-2" of iced snow so I used a table I have but it doesn't have a snow board so I wasn't sure if I would have been off by a bit...but when I measured I got about 3.5". I should have went with the 3-6 I wanted too

Yeah not sure what was going on with that.

This one had a lot of flags present, plus we have a long-standing history of knowing how these events roll. Unless you’re into the heaviest banding for a longer duration, go low. Once again Bufkit, NAM, GFS, and HRRR (as we got into its range) did a phenomenal job illustrating how this would pan out. Now, bufkit isn’t the holy gospel, if the model doesn’t have banding go over that location say, well then it will be way off, however, that’s something you factor in when making a forecast. Anyways, just like last week, most locations on bufkit literally had 2-3 hours of heavy snow with rates ~1”+ per hour, outside that window rates were barely even 0.50” per hour and hardly even above 0.2”. QPF maps have to be used with extreme caution in these fast moving events too. You really have to nail down, of that QPF how much is being maximized efficiently?

Not sure I even ended up with 4-5” here but anyways, I think this storm went about as well as it could have forecasting wise. I love these storms because there are so many different processes involved and it really takes a good bit of time to digest everything and then try and simulate in your head how things will play out.

woah wtf happened to the radar

Now it’s dumping, snow growth improving big time. This is easily going to be 1”+ per hour stuff

Yeah one second nothing and the next it was heavy pixie dust

SNOW!!!! Finally!!!! it’s crappy flakes but it’s like pixie dust…heavy pixy dust

How in the hell is it not snowing here? This is absolutely BS…this is fooked. This is highway robbery

Not even a single flake yet

You can probably go to bed by 2

Still waiting here. If it’s doing anything it’s flurries. Have a kitty on my lap so can’t get up and get to the window for a closer look

upper-level divergence is increasing and nose of strong mid-level jet streak punching in This should (hopefully aid in filling things in a bit more, especially south

Essentially, majority of the snow really falls in a 3 hour period (like 99.9%).

It’s mesoanalysis time

Looks like things could aligning great for the jackpot zone area. Be fun to watch that 700-500 area of fronto continue strengthening

I keep peeping out the window waiting to see flakes
