Jan 30th-February 1st 2026 Arctic Blast/ULL Snow OBS Thread.

Yeah it's awesome to see blowing snow don't see it often here at all. I ended about 3.5" well I say ended but it is still snowing lightly. -

Heaviest I've had yet, mostly big flakes at the moment. I'm really surprised because I thought I might miss the edge of the snow almost completely. If it does this all night I'm going to bust big. I'm already passed forecast amount. Approaching warning criteria. -

Yeah I've been getting quarters mixed with smaller flakes. Then an occasional wind gust blows clouds of blowing snow off my roof and it swirls around. I'm at about 2 inches now which was the high end of my MRX forecast. -

It is coming down, I've definitely crossed into heavy snow, I live on a state highway and it's now fully snow covered for the first time since it started, though its also 22 degrees which definitely helps. -

That band appears to disappear as to extends to the south, but I can assume that it goes further south than the radar shows, as the snow has picked up a pretty good tick. Visibility is much lower the snow is very fine but coming down at a good clip, wind whipping it around at times makes it look even more impressive. This feels like this storm is going to really over produce. I reached about an inch total from just the frontal passage snow, and now it's picking up, heaviest it's been since it started. -

Yeah that's kind of what I anticipate is a lull until around 2-3 when snow fills back in and then hangs around. Hangs around longer the further east you are. For most all of this is really bonus snow. -

For me snow has increased a bit from flurries back to the lighter end of light snow. Sent from my Pixel 10 Pro XL using Tapatalk -

The ULL snows haven't begun yet, this was just bonus snow from the frontal passage. I expect several hour lull, with just flurries. -

Yep and I love heavy snow, but I'm also never opposed to a long duration lighter snowfall either. -

Dang I thought it over performed with my nearly half inch! -

Also this Arctic front has all on its own over performed from what most models seemed to show. I expect we'll have a bit of a lull with maybe just flurries after this initial fropa before the actual ULL snows start up. -

Got a nice dusting now, very wind blown snow. If get any appreciable snow I could see there being drifts. -

Seeing my first flurries on the Roane/Meigs line, air still very dry but it's starting to overcome. -
