Pilotwx Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 From what I can see on the radar someone in the path of the storm may see more than 2 feet easily! Good luck and post some pictures and videos ( want to see some thunder snow videos)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowGoose69 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Tulsa reporting TSSN, the radar to their south is crazy, I'd be surprised if they don't break their 13 inch record from 3/8/94 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you. It should be a record-setting blizzard in some places such as Tulsa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backdoorfront Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 This storm will be measured by the depth of the drifts, very few actual measurements of the snow depth will be possible. First snow at 5:35 am in Southern Boone county. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoWeatherguy Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Just switched over to predominately snow here in Monett the last few minutes. Prolly 1-2 in of sleet out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowGoose69 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 SnowGoose mentioned 10" in another thread in Tulsa so far. The problem is that I now realized the official Tulsa records may be from the NWS and not the airport...they had only 6.0 as of 6am...maybe 7-8 as of 7am so they may be less likely to reach 13.

JoMo Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Sounds like you're good to go over there now. Yep, judging by the radar and recent increases in reflectivity, it's about to really pick up. Not to mention the storm is deepening over NE TX/SW AR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked outside when I got up and it was white out with a 'foggy' look which was heavy snow. Basically how it happened here also. I just passed out on the sofa last night I couldnt hold my eyes open. Got a few hours of sleep at least lol. I saw some lightning out in the distance last night walking the dog it was cool. Woke up and it looked foggy and said wow thats not fog its snowwww. Anyways i swear in an area of the front porch out of the wind there looks to be 7" out there allready! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavarreDon Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Seems to have switched to a sleet/snow mix here. EDIT: And back to all snow 5" snow Just got off the phone with my Mom. She lives on W. Zora St & has a unofficial 6" She sez the flakes look to be dime to pea size so it looks like the area is seeing some good ratios already. Gotta say the 5:00 am AFD by Springfield is most impressive! Congrats guys. Hear is the part of the AFD: AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO 503 AM CST TUE FEB 1 2011 ...PARALYZING BLIZZARD COMMENCING... ...UPDATE TO AVIATION DISCUSSION BELOW... .DISCUSSION... A HISTORIC WINTER STORM IS NOW TAKING SHAPE ACROSS THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN PLAINS REGION. RECENT OBSERVATIONS ACROSS CENTRAL AND EASTERN OKLAHOMA INDICATE THAT BLIZZARD CONDITIONS ARE ALREADY DEVELOPING. SNOWFALL RATES OF 2 TO 3 INCHES PER HOUR HAVE RECENTLY BEEN REPORTED IN CENTRAL OKLAHOMA. MEANWHILE...SUSTAINED WINDS AND GUSTS HAVE REALLY INCREASED EARLY THIS MORNING NEAR THE INTERSTATE 35 CORRIDOR. SUSTAINED WINDS OF 30 KNOTS WITH GUSTS AROUND 40 KNOTS ARE ONGOING AS LOW PRESSURE IS BEGINNING TO DEEPEN ACROSS CENTRAL TEXAS.CONDITIONS WILL GET MUCH WORSE ACROSS SOUTHEAST KANSAS AND THE MISSOURI OZARKS AS WE HEAD INTO THIS MORNING. AS FOR THE PREDAWN PERIOD...PLEASE REFER TO THE PREVIOUS DISCUSSION ISSUED AT 311 AM. FROM THE 12 TO 18Z RANGE...LARGE SCALE LIFT WILL MAXIMIZE AS A STRONG JET COUPLING STRUCTURE DEVELOPS. ADDITIONALLY...STRONG UPPER LEVEL SHORT WAVE ENERGY WILL BEGIN TO EJECT OUT OF THE CENTRAL PLAINS AND TAKE ON A NEGATIVE TILT...CREATING A STRONGLY DIFFLUENT FLOW. MEANWHILE...INTENSE PRESSURE ADVECTION WILL CONTINUE IN THE LOW TO MID LEVELS...MAXIMIZING DEEP TROPOSPHERIC ASCENT. WIDESPREAD HEAVY SNOW IS THEREFORE EXPECTED THIS MORNING ALONG AND NORTH OF THE INTERSTATE 44 CORRIDOR. CONVECTIVE ELEMENTS WILL CONTINUE WITHIN THE MAIN AREA OF HEAVY SNOW...RESULTING IN 2 TO 3 INCH PER HOUR SNOW RATES. SOUTH OF THE INTERSTATE...A WINTRY MIX WILL CONTINUE AS A WARM NOSE PERSISTS. DO THINK THIS WARM NOSE WILL BEGIN TO LOSE ITS PUNCH STARTING LATER THIS MORNING AS AN 850 MB LOW APPROACHES SOUTH CENTRAL MISSOURI. THEREFORE THINK THE TRANSITION FROM SLEET AND FREEZING RAIN TO SNOW WILL BEGIN SOUTH OF THE INTERSTATE. AS WE HEAD INTO THIS AFTERNOON...THE MAIN JET COUPLING STRUCTURE WILL SHIFT INTO CENTRAL AND NORTHERN MISSOURI. HOWEVER...STRONG UPPER LEVEL LIFT WILL CONTINUE ACROSS SOUTHERN MISSOURI AS THE REGION IS IMPACTED BY THE LEFT EXIT REGION OF A STRENGTHENING UPPER LEVEL JET. THEREFORE THINK THE HEAVY SNOW WILL PERSIST OVER MOST AREAS. ONE EXCEPTION TO THAT MAY BE SOUTH CENTRAL MISSOURI WHERE PRECIPITATION WILL BE A LITTLE SLOWER TO TRANSITION TO SNOW. ADDITIONALLY...A DRY SLOT MAY WORK NORTH INTO THE AREA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
