How much for you today

At least 5" or 6"   Hard to tell because of drifts and all .  We have one area where the it was 1/2" where the wind funneled between two buildings. Some drifts are near 2 ft deep . The flat area that I measured snow depth before was affected by the wind . So I  measured it in a wind protected area that was away from drifts and got the 5" in one spot and 6" in another .  So maybe call it 5.5" ???

Man its gonna be a cold cold night, Temp is just rapidly falling off. Both my weather stations already say -2 on them!!! I havent seen cold like this in a very very long time, crazy to think we may be in the  upper 40's/50's by weeks end lol

The last time I experienced this kind of cold was 1989 . I think the temp was 14 below zero . But that was in a January Edit ( December ). The record cold for West Plains, MO for February is 7 below . We might break that tonight .

SN and -5F, cannot believe it’s still snowing 

It has finally slowed down to flurries but wow what an snow event . 

Snowing moderate when I thought it would be over....I ain't  complaining mind you . I will get a final measurement tomorrow , as it is too dark now. Besides it is  2 degrees outside 

I measured 6" on the flattest non drift area I could find . Still snowing lightly . Temp at 3 degrees .   

 This must be the Grand Finally" as big flakes coming down now . Couple more hours like this and we will reach 6" easily . NWS adjusted tonight's low temp from -1 to -5 below .  I'm thinking it will be more like -10 myself .  Record lows tonight anybody?   

Current Temp per my Davis weather station is a toasty 1 degree .  It was -1 this morning . I think the NWS's Springfield forecast high of 7 degrees isn't going to happen. So how low could it get tonight?  

We have close to 5" of snow and we  may end up with 6" as lit looks like the last bit coming up from Arkansas is moderate in appearance to the radar . I am one happy snow loving nut  

Maybe there is hope after all  .Yes!  A Winter Storm Warning for our area....This is the first WSW in several years .

Yes. Different criteria. SW Mo requires 6+, Arkansas requires 4. 

Thanks.....

Have a question about Mountain Home,  Arkansas calling expected snow accumulation of 3-5 inches a Winter Storm Warning vs  Dora, Missouri  calling snow accumulation of 4-6 inches a Winter Weather advisory ?  A higher accumulation expected in Dora , Mo  obviously but it isn't called a Winter Storm Warning. Hmmmmm? Does Arkansas and Missouri have  to meet different criteria ?

* AMOUNTS: Heavy snow is expected Sunday through much of
  Monday...with snowfall amounts of 3 to 5 inches expected.
  Locally higher amounts are possible...especially in the higher
  terrain.

Currently light snow coming down supposed to be dreezing frizzle   

2:45 pm  and the temp is 24 ...one would think that tomorrows above freezing temp isn't gonna happen also thus more ice can be expected .

Nice snow yesterday...about 2" here and places east of us got nearly 3" of the white stuff .  So far this is the most total snow we've had in 6 years...a whole 3.5"...pitiful but I'll take it . We have 6 more weeks to go and am hoping that Feb will be a snow block buster .   cheers!

nothing but flakes here as the temp has hovered 34ish .  I hope the next event moves far enough north to produce a nice accumulation of snow.

WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 9 PM THIS
EVENING TO 3 PM CST THURSDAY...

Looking like I won't have a horse in this race unless things change 170 miles, lol.

But there's definitely potential for you Arkansas and SOMO folks!

 

6Z GFS

6ZEuro Paints it more North.

I would like for the ECMWF  scenario to happen and have me fingers crossed.  We've had two non-winter weather advisory/winter storm watch snows so far . 1 1/2"    and on the 2nd 2021 near 1/2" respectively ....wasn't much but sure was fun to watch .  It has been ages since we've had a winter storm watch and very few winter advisory's to speak of .   One of these days it will happen....I Hope!  

Merry Christmas and a happy Snowy New Year to all.

Decided to put "Winter" in quotes because you never know. Looks like a La Nina year this year. I've heard 2007-2008 a lot come up in analog discussions. That year had sharp Arctic airmasses push through from time to time and get hung up along I-44. Hoping for more of a -AO this year. 

I do not remember the year , but I remember that winter , and it was frustrating to see so many good chances end up "Along the I-44 corridor "  and we got the 1" or less snows if any .  Anyway I trust that this year will be the year that breaks the no to little snow barrier . 

Nice brisk cold front moving over as we speak . Has anybody thought about starting the 2020 -2021 winter weather yet?  It is getting close to that time again . I'm looking forward to having a nice winter this year .   Nice Winter = lots of snow
