Heck I think its been even longer for here, we moved to Fayetteville in summer of 2013 and that winter season was the last time I saw measureable snow over that amount too lol. Ever since its been 1" or less that's it. I think one of the following years we got almost 2" from something but man that was a long long time ago it feels now. It is pathetic, really crazy for up there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is pathetic, really crazy for up there! Here’s some interesting history for you for Fayetteville snowfall over the years. Maybe this helps you feel better. Or not... Here are the top 4 maximum snowfall years since records started in 1949. 1. 27” in 2010 2. 23.5” - 1978 3. 20.5 - 1960 4. 20.4 - 2011 That means 2 of the top four record years were within the last 10 years. Unfortunately 3 of the bottom 7 years have occurred since 2012. And 8 of the bottom 10 have occurred since 1998. 2 inches a year keeps you out of the bottom 10 so it doesn’t take much. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having lived through 2 of the 4 best plus the most historic ice storm (in this area, 01-27-2009) of a century and then the weekly blitz that was 2013-14 to end that era, I guess it became pretty hard to remember that a 3" snow here was still pretty special when I was a kid. Also that an 8"+ winter with 2 or more mid to major events rolled in was considered one we'd remember for a long time. What a crazy decade of winters we just walked out of if you think about it. In like a lion in 2010, out like a lamb in 2019. Here's to winter coming back over the next 2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Significant temp difference between the GFS and NAM (no surprise there). The NWS discussions are considerably different as well. Tulsa way more bullish then OKC, Springfield, and Little Rock.

The Waterboy Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 NWS Tulsa: Now to the big challenge of this forecast. For several days, models have brought a strong wave across the Plains just to our south Tuesday with widespread precipitation expected on the system`s north side, that has never been in question. What has been in question was the amount of cold air the system would have to work with. Today`s runs, especially the NAM which tends to handle low level cold air better, have trended colder behind the back door front that will be working its way into the region late Monday into Tuesday. As such, this forecast will trend colder at the surface and will have more snow accumulation across NE OK and NW AR. Raw model snow accumulation forecasts from the NAM and ECMWF suggest that advisory level snow accumulation is possible anywhere north of I-40 Tuesday into Tuesday night. The main question will be the marginal temps near the ground. If it`s a rain/snow mix that would greatly cut the accumulation potential. There is also light icing potential in the terrain of NW AR. Precipitation should come to an end by Wednesday morning as the system moves off to the east. Bottom line, travel impacts from winter weather are possible Tuesday and Tuesday night mainly north of I-40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know if he does that consistently or just hasn't liked the looks of these systems. I know there are some SPC and NHC forecasters who tend to be more conservative than others. He may be one of those in the local SGF office. I really haven't paid that close of attention to know for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ouamber Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 I'm just gonna accept that whatever real snow (3+ inches) we get won't be expected. Expectations stay low so the depression doesn't kick in, lol! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MUWX Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 I really dont know why I pay attention to winter weather anymore.

lokee Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 I did see something earlier this morning in regards to an advisory in that area. Liberal, Ks. has picked up near 15 inches of snow from reports. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
