Well, if you believe the short term models like HRRR we should build another 3" or so the next 5 hrs. That would put me at the lower end of forecast and on track. But, do those bands hold together is the question. They haven't all night in this region. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoMo Posted Friday at 05:21 AM Author Share Posted Friday at 05:21 AM Always so serene on nights when it's snowing. Fresh blanket of snow covering everything and it looks like twilight outside. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MUWX Posted Friday at 05:30 AM Share Posted Friday at 05:30 AM Guessing we are in the 2-3 inch range, radar and high res look pretty good. If we can cash in on some better ratio snow, we might be able to get another 3-5”. I’m optimistic so probably means we won’t get near that much.

NWAflizzard Posted Friday at 05:46 AM Share Posted Friday at 05:46 AM I am in Little Rock for work this week (very rarely down that way anymore). This has to be one of the better snow falls I have seen. It has just been steady most of the day since noon. Big flakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MUWX Posted Friday at 12:39 PM Share Posted Friday at 12:39 PM Pretty good storm here. I’d guess something in the 6-8 inch range just eyeballing what’s on the table on our deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still have the bar at 4" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ole Bucket Posted Friday at 01:34 PM Share Posted Friday at 01:34 PM Coming along fairly well now. Mod snow here I'd say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoMo Posted Friday at 01:42 PM Author Share Posted Friday at 01:42 PM Looks like 5-6" in Joplin. I wasn't sure we'd make it there until the heavier bands started rolling through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schoeppeya Posted Friday at 02:00 PM Share Posted Friday at 02:00 PM Around 7 in the south Tulsa burbs, still snowing. Over performed for sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormdragonwx Posted Friday at 02:54 PM Share Posted Friday at 02:54 PM It must have really came down after I went to bed as I measured just shy of 3 inches. Got just shy of 7 inches on the east side of Fayetteville with the wraparound still moving in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RocketWX Posted Friday at 02:55 PM Share Posted Friday at 02:55 PM I think I saw Wichita officially received 5.9" at the airport. I'm sure amounts vary quite a bit the with the banding nature of this snow. Looks to be about 5" of new snow at my house on the southeast side of Wichita. What an exciting storm considering it looked like we were on the fringe with 1-2" initially forecast. Hi-Res models started picking up on the heavy band of snow over SC Kansas and boy did it come through. Happy to see many others were able to cash in as well!

Just measured between 6-7” total. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoWeatherguy Posted Friday at 03:05 PM Share Posted Friday at 03:05 PM This was one of the best here in NW AR in a good while. It must have hammered down good after midnight. We have about 5.5 out there now still light snow coming. I'd say the NWS forecast was pretty good for this area. HRRR, RAP were spot on. NAM didn't end up that bad, either. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
draco1188 Posted Friday at 03:07 PM Share Posted Friday at 03:07 PM I measured 10 inches IMBY this morning here in Russellville. It has been coming down pretty heavily all morning since with this band slowly pushing through. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoWeatherguy Posted Friday at 03:42 PM Share Posted Friday at 03:42 PM What a beautiful storm this was. And sounds like everyone in this region did very well. We don't get that very often. Enjoy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterSnow Posted Friday at 03:46 PM Share Posted Friday at 03:46 PM My family in southern Tulsa county, OK reported 7 inches. More than I've yet to see in Connecticut this season. Congrats, you all. I know these storms are rare in the region. I know because I lived there not too long ago and it was depressing. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormChazer Posted Friday at 03:58 PM Share Posted Friday at 03:58 PM Checking in after a serene and beautiful snowy night in Tulsa. It looks like we picked up around 5-6 inches of snow in Owasso on the north side of Tulsa and it was still snowing on my way to work this morning, so we might have added another 1/2 inch. Southern side of town got closer to 6-7. It's very rare we get a model trend change in the last 24 hours that drastically IN OUR FAVOR. We went from 1-3 inches predicted in Tulsa, to 4-6 predicted. Other places on this forum got an even more drastic snowfall prediction change. It reminds me of when I was a kid in the early 2000's. I loved the weather just as much back then, but as a 10 year old in 2000, I didn't have access to weather models, etc. I just sat in front of the TV watching the weather channel or every local news station, obsessing over any minor change. So it was easier back then to be surprised by a storm in a good way, because I simply didn't have the models at my fingertips like I do now. So this storm felt like a nice throwback. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ouamber Posted Friday at 04:21 PM Share Posted Friday at 04:21 PM My tantrum the other day must have worked! Absolutely perfect snow! We have about 7 inches here on the south side of Tulsa! Soooo happy! And so are my Pyrenees this morning. Our conversation: Me: "Walker, Missy...come inside!" Them: "Did she say something. Don't hear a thing!" LOL 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the days before weather models were online. A local TV station had a phone number you could call to get the weather forecast via recording from their weatherman. I used to call it about every 5-10 minutes when snow was expected to see if anything had changed or to just hear "The chance of snow is near 100%." Got excited every time. Eventually graduated to watching TWC, still remember some of those elevator/jazz music 'local on the 8's' sounds. Different world today with how easy it is to access the computer models though. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That "weather on the 8's" was classic. Remember it very well. They had some great personalities on TWC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For sure going to be COLD again behind it. Would be a shame to lose all this snowpack when the temps get into the upper 40s next Thurs/Fri and then get 33F, cold rain.. followed by single-digit lows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ole Bucket Posted Friday at 08:01 PM Share Posted Friday at 08:01 PM Yeaaah that's the good stuff man. Nice. Definitely cleared the bar here and the warning criteria materialized. Probably 6" in the end. Still light-to-mod snow out there. 31F. Calm winds. Gorgeous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would update around lunchtime every day. As Nate Bargatze says - I’m from the 1900’s. Bottom line in this reminiscing is: Some of us (me included) are getting old! If you younger folks don’t know what we’re talking about, enjoy your youth!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
