What Joe Bastardi says about the rest of winter " The Worst Is Yet To Come )    (listen to the 1:17 mark)     https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1vJlv6yzLTo

Ozark County upgraded to winter  Ice storm warning last night . Had to take my dog out to the skating rink this morning . Hadn't measured but at least 1/4" and 31°  @ 9:25am .  

 Freezing rain isn't liked for those who have to drive in it but I'm retired and I don't have drive in it . I feel for those who do as it is very treacherous . But as for freezing rain it is very beautiful to see with the sun sparkling on it . But really I love freezing rain, snow, sleet. freezing fog etc. I really don't like  extreme cold though . 

Got 1" snow and school is out  here also . Reason here is due to most families live on dirt roads and of course the road department don't do the dirt roads , only pavement.  Due to the cold (no snow melt)  school will not be back in session until the dirt  roads are safe . Which will probably be Thursday . 

34 and sleet here currently . Making the ramp outback a little slippery.

All 3 models agreeing on a system swinging through next weekend. Euro and Canadian say snow, GFS says no. Just rain.

GFS continues to bomb out around the 10th with that storm. 

That is a ways out yet so maybe the cold will coincide with the moisture .  I hope, I hope, I hope  .

We got another surprise snow after midnight last night . About 3/8s inch . Not much but I'm glad for what I got . 

We had 1/4th inch here but it melted quickly . Was fun watching the big snow flakes .

Will this above normal and dry ever end?  No snow in sight Yuck

I'm still hanging in for one more bout with winter presip  until I hear the fat lady sing   .   

Doug Heady long range forecast .    

1/2" of snow today with some sleet . Huge burst of half dollar size flakes at the end   Nice . DOT finally salted my road this morning so I was able to make a quick run to Dollar Gen before the short lived snow/sleet hit . The road out front is back to hazardous again. Some local talk of pending freezing rain event  tomorrow night into Thursday Hmmmm?  

It's pouring sleet and snow currently @ 19 degrees .   Over and inch of accumulation . And still no sight of DOT.....Hmmmm? It looks like I'll have to chance and driving SLOWLY to the Dollar Gen three miles away to get some things tomorrow ..

20.2 degrees and sleeting here and the roads are white with ice. Look Out folks! 

27 and freezing drizzle .     NWS winter weather advisory

Still holding at 32 here, very hard to measure as it compacts down quick. The car has almost 4" on it now, Abt 3.5" on the ground. It's let up a while ago to light snow, more to come? And amber, sorry you didn't get any snow

About the same here with temp holding at 31.9 and snow total about  3.5  to  4" depending where I measure  .

Nothing but rain in Tulsa while all other directions around us getting snow….I’ve had the rug swept out under my feet before, but this one stings a little more than others.

I know the feeling all too well . I trust that snow will still happen for you. 

Temp 31.8  snowing moderately . Accumulation 1" so far .  It took longer than I thought for the transition from light rain/sleet  to all snow but it is cranking currently .    Now that the temp hit freezing the  snow should start mounting up quickly ....I hope . Too bad the snow  is coming down at night as I would have loved seeing this during the day but we are happy (ecstatic )  non the less . 

NWS Snowfall reports   -    

Snow total 2.75 " measured in non wind blown and away from areas that gathered drift .  

I got brave enough to go outside to measure snow depth....2 1/2"  . Snow is tapering off a bit currently but still coming down .  We may end up with 3" or so if snow continues 'till after 4pm like weather service is saying ......WHITE CHRISTMAS at last!  

 How is everyone else fairing?

moderate to heavy  snow 5 degrees 36 mph wind gust brrrrr!    Over an inch accumulation and rising 

Just started snow here about 25 minutes ago . Intensity is increasing with temp of 21 and falling quickly with winds to 25mph so far .And I'm loving it 

Got an inch here with big flakes but with melting it is hard to accumulate . Right at 32 here now so maybe it won't be gone by daylight .
