wierdo Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Yeah, I'm at around 5" or so, based on a quick look out my back door. Not a lot, but as I was pointing out on another forum, that's a pretty solid storm around these parts. And I guess I'm not going to Fayetteville any time soon..

WestMichigan Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 I lived in Tulsa for 4 winters and we couldn't buy anything above 4" at a time and maybe 12" per year and now this winter they are smashing records left and right. I hope all of you are enjoying this. Congrats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestMichigan Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 A little bit behind but you can see what a tiny band it really was. This almost looks like the results of some LES in Michigan. 24" in one place and 15 miles away 1". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoMo Posted February 9, 2011 Author Share Posted February 9, 2011 Actually that's pretty bad for those areas as they don't have a lot of snow removal equipment down there. I guess the upside is that it'll be 60 on Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natecast Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Wow, Tulsa just missed getting slammed again, which is probably a good thing for commerce and travel. Here in NW OKC, I picked up about 5" at my house. Not the 8-12" I predicted, but not an epic failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoMo Posted February 9, 2011 Author Share Posted February 9, 2011 I'm thinking we got about 3-4" in Joplin. I don't really have a clear place to measure as the driveway gets drifts and the rest of the yard has trees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natecast Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 The winner is.......the NAM. The loser is..... the GFS. What's crazy is the GFS was remarkably consistent in its' handling of features and QPF fields. Gotta love winter weather forecasting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's crazy is the GFS was remarkably consistent in its' handling of features and QPF fields. Gotta love winter weather forecasting! Yeah the NAM decreased it's QPF field but had the placement of that band nearly dead on a few days in advance. It was initially too moist everywhere. The GFS increased QPF amounts but was too moist and had the placement all wrong in the end favoring areas farther south. The HRRR and RUC did well at picking up trends but was too far N with the band of snow for too many runs until it shifted back south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowGoose69 Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Now for the big meltdown as we get into a warmer pattern and end up on the 'warm' side of the systems passing to our NW. Yeah the patterrn basically goes into the toilet for most of the country, nevermind your area...in NYC we need about 18 more inches for the snowiest winter on record...I'm no longer sure we're going to get it...there is usually a big snow event in your area at the end of most of the stronger La Nina winters in March...they occurred in 1989, 1999, and 2009...the track record is quite remarkable so I'd be surprised if one did not occur this year...they usually favor S KS and S MO as well.

electronicmaji Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Holy ****. Pardon my french. But waking up to 21 inches when all the local weather services predicted 2-4 inches is...wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brettjrob Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Now for the big meltdown as we get into a warmer pattern and end up on the 'warm' side of the systems passing to our NW. Indeed. And after scraping up less than 10" total here from the past two storms, nothing sounds more appealing right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

March is always a toss up. It can be snowing one day and 73 two days later like last year The big plus is this probably helped with the drought.
