OKwx2K4 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Well, I finally got to see some incredibly fine and very light snow. May see one more quick burst of snow sleet mix before this is over. I'm disappointed but oh well I guess. I know there won't be many years that are as bad as this one so at least we're getting it out of the way. Haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NwWhiteOut Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Finally fairly heavy snow/sleet mixture here, looks like a darker band moving through. Hopefully this trend continues from here til the end of this. Looks like its going to be shutting off in tulsa soon, maybe 3 hours or so left here of it if it holds together! Would be awesome to see a few inches of snow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think its going to end just yet for us, its filled in fairly well if it can hold itself together now for the next few hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think its going to end just yet for us, its filled in fairly well if it can hold itself together now for the next few hours. It's still a mix unfortunately. It started off so quietly and snowy and then turned to sleet again. Should be a little more headed your way though. I'll try them out first and send them your way. Haha.

Mine too just switched right back to moderate sleet again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OKwx2K4 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 On the plus side though, it is actually turning the ground white and getting me a day off work in the morning so it didn't totally disappoint me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doramo Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 The radar is showing a heavy band north-west of us and south-east of Joplin .. Jomo and I have been nutmegged . After about three hours of light to almost nothing the snow is again starting to fall a little better than light . Still at 1 1/2 " sleet n snow total though ..

NwWhiteOut Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 It seems like all of us got way way less than what was forecasted and predicted with this. I'll be curious to see when its over if anyone reports anything close to the snowfall totals they were supposed to get. I dont even think in fayetteville here we will hit even a half inch of snow, such a sad sad winter and I hope to never see another like this!!! Im not even sure this storm was warning criteria, advisory yes. Sleet cut all our totals next to nothing, sux! Goodnight everyone, hopefully something can happen before this winter is done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NwWhiteOut Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Had to wake up and check things out, yay finally must have switched over to all snow while I fell asleep for a power nap. Looks like we got about an inch or so of snow lol. Still lightly snowing. Shame I missed that action but oh well just too tired now. Back to bed haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doramo Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 looks to be 3" of snow ( 1/2' of that is sleet)...still snowing a bit . I'm happy as it beats what we have previouly had this winter by an mile .Also will make for some nice pictures to send to my family down Florida way . They will probably think that we had a real snow storm . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wx 24/7 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Have 5" here in Monett... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoWeatherguy Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Ended up with 3" in S Benton Co, AR. Not bad since we were robbed by the sleet most of the night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gusfront Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Ok I was glad to get my slice of winter pie. Now onto spring I wanna get some exercise and mow lawns, how has everyone done on snow and sleet , seems like the warm nose stuck around longer than I thought and got more than just a glaze here on the Northeast side of Joplin . Enough to make some branches sag and fall and bust by backside this morning on the way to the garage hahah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoMo Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Probably around 5-6" here, that last band was pretty intense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NwWhiteOut Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Probably around 5-6" here, that last band was pretty intense. How much sleet did you get there? Congrats on the snow, it finally changed over to all moderate snow here early this morning but didnt last that long. Dropped down a quick inch of snow on top probly 1/4" of sleet or so. Got spared here again for the most part, little mini dry slots kept forming all night it sucked lol....I guess thats what they were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wx 24/7 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Well, it doesn't look like the weather will be calming down much in the next 7-10 days (if this morning's model runs are to be believed). I guess this is what you call a backside winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably lost a couple of inches of snow due to it staying sleet. The only thing that saved me was being in the far northern portion of that organized band of snow. Snow totals just north of here were a lot less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Waterboy Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 That was fun even though it wasn't the jackpot we all wanted! I'm just glad we didn't get shutout for the winter. Now, let's start tracking the next one. Spoken like a true addict!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spot Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Well woke up to over a quarther inch of ice and sleet on top of and a coating of snow..Trees are a little lower today. Could have been a decent snow if the precip would have been all snow. Oh well its the story of winter this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NwWhiteOut Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Sounds like the end of the week could be a washout or really nasty for some again. Heres to hoping right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoMo Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Ended up with around 5" or so although just north of here, they got 3". The sleet and freezing rain below it aren't slick and melts off quickly when exposed to that Feb sun. Not sure about the next storm, looks like one will miss us to the east and the one after that may miss us to the north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep even though its pretty cold out there that blazing fireball just wants to still immediately melt stuff. The roads are just slushy here and have not been touched anywhere for the most part, road conditions are horrible all the time in this city after a storm. So right now it appears we get missed, story of our lives this winter right haha. At least we all got a bit of something last night though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a large disparity between the models and even in the ensembles right now of the next system(s). There's one that will more than likely pass to our east over the KY/TN area, maybe SE MO and NE AR. There's another one that may pass anywhere from our north, to our south, to it being too warm to do anything frozen to it giving us something frozen. I mean there's a lot different Euro ensemble solutions for the next 10 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoMo Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Hmm, the 00z NAM looks a bit stronger with the snow showers tomorrow. Someone might pick up a little bit more snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw that too. Looks like a heavier burst through SE KS, SW MO, and NW AR. Maybe an inch or two. Let's see what the GFS shows shortly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, it's not a very big area, so luck will play an important part. I'm more interested to see what the GFS shows for the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
