Ozarkwx Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Took a few pics from my iPhone but don't know how to upload them from my phone. Can someone help. 1. Download or email them to your computer. Remember where you saved them. 2. Start a post on the forum like you usually do and select at the bottom of the message box "use full editor" or something like that 3. On the full editor, you will notice an "attachments " section. Click Browse and select the photo from your computer, and click "attach this file." 4. Once it is uploaded to the site, you will notice a link off to the right with words like "add to post." Click that and it will insert attachment into the message. 5. You can cut/paste/move the attachment around as desired like any other text. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArkieOkie Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 I haven't measured, but it looks like we have about 4 inches out there. I have NEVER seen it snow this hard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoMo Posted February 9, 2011 Author Share Posted February 9, 2011 lol Tulsa: ALL IN ALL...THE NAM WHICH WAS AN OUTLIER COMING INTO THE EVENT WAS THE BETTER MODEL FOR THIS STORM...GO FIGURE.

Ozarkwx Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 It is not like there weren't some clues that this had the potential to bust quite high somewhere. 1. Thundersnow over pac nw monday. 2. Heavy snow in KS tuesday. 3. Super high ratios. 4. Frontogenic forcing andthermal gradient off the charts last evening. 5. The NAM may be on crack at H72, but inside the sweet zone (30 hours or less) it is not quite so erratic (I like to think of the NAM as a teenager, never truly reliable but sometimes awesome when you least expect it, lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmt Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 lol Tulsa: ALL IN ALL...THE NAM WHICH WAS AN OUTLIER COMING INTO THE EVENT WAS THE BETTER MODEL FOR THIS STORM...GO FIGURE. And 2 weeks without trash service is a little much. Just read that the city of Joplin tried to run residential service today but the snow stopped them. Also canceled for tomorrow. My area is actually the last to get trash service, because they have to back down the street to reach us and they always say that is too dangerous.

The GFS had the right idea and was steady all along. NAM must be useful for overrunning events though, even if it's totals were too high for a lot of areas outside the band of snow. GFS/GGEM did really badly with this storm. RGEM did pretty well as well. Not sure about the Euro. NAM nailed the band from pretty far out actually: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's good to see that even after the Blizzard, 3" of snow can still shut Joplin down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoldenEagle Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 NW Arkansas wins again, while the folks in Central AR will probably only get a moderate snow event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoMo Posted February 9, 2011 Author Share Posted February 9, 2011 NW Arkansas wins again, while the folks in Central AR will probably only get a moderate snow event. Yeah you all have the Ozarks working against you a lot of times. Tough to get cold air down there, a trough usually forms west of the Ozarks, and then you have to worry about moisture issues.

Wx 24/7 Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 I just measured again. Very hard to get an accurate account with the drifting going on. My average was 5.25". That pales in comparison with NW AR but is much higher than I was anticipating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That pales in comparison with NW AR but is much higher than I was anticipating. Same here its way more then what I was expecting as well. Not much wind here and all the spots i measures were about or a little above 4.5". Havent seen a single snow plow yet in town. We have 2wd so lost another day of work. This county is horrible when it comes to plowing roads and this town well it usually takes them about 3 days after a storm to even touch our road lol.

Ozarkwx Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 SemiWeather where are you? boomer! okie333 whats it doing out your window? Spot still coming down? Still snowing moderate/heavily with 1/4 mi visibility in Eureka Springs, which is 40 miles east of Rogers/Bentonville near MO border. Right in the middle of the tight gradient between the monster snows to the south and the lighter snows to the north. Will go measure in a while.

That pales in comparison with NW AR but is much higher than I was anticipating. I'd say you're pretty close. I measured 3" around 7AM before going to work so figured we were close to that now. I'll check at lunch to see what I come up with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SNOWFALL RATES SHOULD REACH 1 INCH PER HOUR ACROSS CNTRL AND ERN AR...NW MS AND WRN TN. A MIX OF RAIN...SLEET AND SNOW SHOULD EXIST FROM FAR NE TX EWD ACROSS FAR NRN LA INTO WCNTRL MS. A LARGE AREA OF SNOW IS CURRENTLY ONGOING ACROSS ERN OK AND AR LOCATED ALONG AND TO THE EAST OF A WELL-DEFINED INVERTED SFC TROUGH. EAST OF THE SFC TROUGH SFC WINDS ARE NELY WHICH COMBINED WITH WARM ADVECTION AND STRONG ISENTROPIC LIFT WILL CREATE CONDITIONS FAVORABLE FOR HEAVY SNOW THIS AFTERNOON. THE HEAVIEST SNOW IS LOCATED IN ERN OK AND NW AR JUST AHEAD OF A VORTICITY MAX IN NE OK. THE ASSOCIATED UPPER-LEVEL TROUGH WILL MOVE EWD ACROSS OK INCREASING LARGE-SCALE ASCENT ACROSS THE OZARKS.
