Lol incredible. Fayetteville getting the stiff again.

Must be having some dry air aloft. Radar showing a lot of snow over me but it's not coming down anymore.

Reporting snow here in SE Fayetteville too.

Yup typical 33 and rain again.

I was actually living in Tulsa for the 2009 one. I agree with what you said from what I saw and heard. The 2000 one that hit on Christmas Eve was pretty rough too.

Yeah I got a bad feeling this is gonna become a nasty Ice Storm for my neck of the woods. I remember the one in 2000 that hit around this time of the year.

Still 4 days out and while I have observed TSA is usually pretty cautious and conservative, they already pulled the trigger upping the amounts on the DSP graphic. Personally, I hope this doesn't morph into a crippling ice storm like what some of the models were hinting at.

Currently at work here in the Springdale, AR area. Approaching 2" now after finally changing over around 12pm.

Yeah Dan Skoff at KNWA is saying 8" in NW AR and that it might actually be conservative. All the models are showing at least 6" or more now too. That doesn't happen too often.

As I mentioned in my other post I think the best way to determine the precip accumulations taking into account for melting will be to take the 10:1 parameter and half it. The Kuchera Ratio also looks somewhat accurate to getting the real totals. Also regarding the thundersnow potential, I also do recall an event similar to this back on March 28th, 2009. I was living in Tulsa and we had a thundersnow event that day. It was just above freezing and had heavy wet flakes as a result. Got 9" in a few hours that melted to about 5" at sundown.

NAM, NAM 3k, RAP, HRRR and even the Canadian are saying its happening and upping totals/coverage overall. Might even be getting some convective thundersnow out of this. Temps are also trending colder. Though to be realistic I do think some of these totals seen here are overdoing it. Might cut the totals in half to get our real amounts due to the warm ground temps causing melting and compacting. EDIT: When you go back in and look at the Kuchera Ratio I think those will be closer to our actual amounts.

00z GFS and Euro looking interesting. TV Meteorologists also taking note of it on their social media posts.

LOL yeah...

After going on nearly 6 lackluster winters in a row, I am learning not to get my hopes up for an eventful winter around here. lol

Looks like the NAM pretty much nailed it. Just NW of OKC they have just shy of 2" of ice accumulation! Unbelievable... https://www.facebook.com/colt.forney/posts/10164673026050227

I joked a few days ago about a crippling Ice Storm because ya know... 2020 but now the 0z NAM has come into range with 2+ inches of ice. This along with leaves still being on most trees would be pretty devastating. I do think its being bullish jumping on board with that kind of outcome even though the GFS has been showing some kind of Ice Storm for several days now. Something will happen but 2+ inches of ice seems farfetched.

Unless something springs up towards the beginning of March, I think this season is done.

Yup, believe it when I see it.

Yeah looking pretty disappointing so far. 33 and rain as usual here in the Fayetteville area as well.

Yup as I suspected probably gonna be 33 and rain again for the Fayetteville area. We will see. Stranger things have happened.

Something that has been getting overlooked is concern for icing. SE OK, NW AR, and Southern MO is notorious for getting Ice storms with systems like this due to the terrain as the cold air needs more time to filter into the area thru all the levels. With it being as warm as it has been over the past few days I have my doubts if the cold air will fully arrive in time for any snow SE of I-44. Right now its mostly been the Canadian models showing it but the NAM and GFS have hinted a bit more on it too. Though if I am realistic it will probably be 33 degrees and rain as it has been all season in my area. I will take that over ice.
