Yeah its about 4 hours ahead of schedule, you can already see the snow developing south of here

Greenfield Indiana

Temps around 30 for the highest snowfall rates on GFS. Snow is going to stick if below freezing and 1" per hour.

I think rates will be high enough to overcome the warm ground quite quickly and the diurnal effects won't really come into play here as most of this hits overnight and early tomorrow morning.

It's sticking in Detroit, we will see much higher rates than over there.

This is 3km on pivotal, that map is snow depth change.

I remember when this pandemic first started and all the doctors/scientists were saying that Covid-19 does not mutate rapidly like the flu virus does. They were quite wrong about that one. Seems there is a different mutation every day.

Euro has less QPF then the other models

I don't agree with it either but its their personal choice. Those vaccinated cannot get severely sick, and those that refuse the vaccine have made their choice and accept the risks. I think you're right and we hit 60-65% vaccinations countrywide. I think that will be enough though along with prior infections for herd immunity.

You can get herd immunity through infection as well, like we have throughout history with almost every other pandemic.

All snow falling in St. Louis at 1:12 PM. I don't think we have to worry about our precip. type. That airmass is plenty cold for pure snow.

Whats more rare May 7th 1989 or Oct. storm 2006, not in terms of snowfall just time of year? I think I ran the numbers before and they were pretty close.

I don't think we touch May 7th, but I think we have a chance at 2nd place all time for late snows.

Extremely rare event for WNY

To show how rare this is.
