NwWhiteOut Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Yeah. Same in Adair county. Must be an elevation thing. Yea it has to be, I really have no clue...just moved to arkansas a few months ago from missouri. Missouri was kinda the same though where I lived, it would be raining/mix at my place then you cross the county line 8 miles north and it was snowing lol. Was pretty crazy there also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoWeatherguy Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Yea man its horrible now, it wasnt so bad all day just mainly the bridges and overpasses. The ground was still warm I guess from the previous few days in the upper 60's lol. People are panicking bad here, I guess this isnt a normal thing in this area idk and all the past ice storms I guess I can see why. Whats your thinking for this to change over to snow down my way later on tonight? I gotta think this cold air intrusion will make it there by this second wave later tonite. Should b all snow then.

JoMo Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Back edge just passed me. Unless there's something I don't know about coming west of that. Its over for me. :-( Very unhappy with it. Round 1... There may be a round 1.5 for you down there.. lol..... Round 2 starts later. It's still snowing after this at 8 AM from around OKC east.

The Waterboy Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Just measured right at 3" in downtown Rogers. That's all happened since about 5:00 when it switched over. I would say a majority of it has been in the last 1 1/2 hours since the heavy snow started. Looking forward to round 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoMo Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 AREA FORECAST DISCUSSIONNATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SPRINGFIELD MO 822 PM CST Thu Dec 5 2013 ...Evening Update for Ongoing Winter Storm... .UPDATE... Issued at 805 CST THU DEC 5 2013 The winter storm continues to impact the region this evening. The wintry mix of precipitation that impacted portions of the area today has changed over to all snow early this evening except for far south central Missouri where a mix continues. This mix of wintry precipitation will change over to all snow by midnight tonight if not sooner. The snowfall is currently occurring along and south of Interstate 44 with a lull in the snow occurring north of the Interstate 44 corridor. Light to moderate snow will continue to affect southern Missouri south of Interstate 44 this evening, with the snow expected to expand northward during the overnight hours into Friday morning. The snow will then taper off from west to east Friday afternoon coming to an end late Friday afternoon. IR satellite imagery is showing cooling cloud tops across Oklahoma into Texas ahead of the upper level trough swinging east into the plains. A strong upper level jet is also developing to the north with the area being in the right entrance region of the jet. This will result in the light to moderate snow continuing through the overnight hours into Friday morning. Temperatures are currently in the 20s and will drop into the teens overnight. These cold temperatures will allow high snow to liquid ratios with 15:1 if not higher snow ratios occurring tonight into Friday morning. With the snow expected to continue this evening along with the high snow ratios...we have increased snow amounts some. Storm total snow falls including what fell this afternoon are now expected to be 1 to 3 inches north of Highway 54, 3 to 6 inches south of Highway 54 to north of Interstate 44, with 6 to 10 inches generally along and south of Interstate 44 with locally higher amounts to 12 inches possible across far southern and south central Missouri.

NJ_Ken Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 I am now at home on far northern edge of Oklahoma City (near Quail Springs mall if you happen to be local). We are still getting very light snow at the moment and roads are pretty horrendous. I didn't measure but I would say we've gotten a solid 2" of (mostly) snow here so far. Earlier in the evening I was on the south side of OKC and, at that point (around 6:30 pm), they had gotten mostly ice. There was perhaps a half inch of sleet on the ground and a mix of sleet and freezing rain was still falling there. FWIW, NWS OUN has been right on the money so far, including correctly nailing the snow/sleet/freezing rain line running right through the middle of OKC. Big thumbs up to them.

Ozarkwx Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Sleet storms are awful... mainly because you think of how much more snow you could have if it wasn't sleet. I know... I still think it has to change over sometime,, Exactly! Looking at about an inch of sleet/snow, although nearby over the MO border, it is closer to 3". I guess the glass half full attitude works best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ouamber Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Why does it seem like the storm moved further north putting more of us in heavier sleet than what was originally predicted? The ground is covered, but only got an inch of snow, rest is sleet! Bummer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoMo Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 AREA FORECAST DISCUSSIONNATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TULSA OK 851 PM CST THU DEC 5 2013 ...UPDATE... .DISCUSSION... WIDESPREAD LIGHT TO MODERATE PRECIPITATION CONTINUES FROM NW AR INTO SE OK...WITH A GRADUAL EROSION OF HEAVIER PRECIP ACROSS NE OK. MEANWHILE...CLOUD TOPS CONTINUE TO COOL ACROSS NW TX AS LIFT INCREASES AHEAD OF THE NEXT WAVE WHICH WILL TRACK ACROSS THE REGION LATE TONIGHT INTO FRIDAY. THERE IS LIKELY TO BE LITTLE IF ANY BREAK IN PRECIP ACROSS SE OK BEFORE PRECIP COVERAGE AND INTENSITY INCREASES AGAIN LATER TONIGHT. DRY LOW LEVELS WILL CONTINUE TO LIMIT PRECIP EXPANSE ALONG AREAS NEAR THE OK/KS BORDER. THIS IS HANDLED WELL WITH CURRENT OVERNIGHT POPS. PRECIP TYPE HAS BEEN A BIT ERRATIC THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...WITH A BAND OF VERY HEAVY SLEET HAVING ALREADY MOVED THROUGH EAST CENTRAL OK INTO NW AR. THE NORTHERN PERIPHERY OF THIS BAND CHANGED TO A ZONE OF HEAVY SNOW WITH QUICK ACCUMULATIONS OF 2-5 INCHES OBSERVED ACROSS LOCATIONS NEAR THE AR/MO BORDER. FURTHER SOUTHEAST...A SIGNIFICANT ICE STORM CONTINUES UNDERWAY ESPECIALLY ACROSS PORTIONS OF SEBASTIAN AND LE FLORE COUNTIES. THE TREND WILL BE TOWARD THE COLUMN COOLING AND THE FZRA ZONE SHIFTING A BIT FURTHER SOUTHWARD...WHILE SLEET AND SNOW BECOME MOST DOMINANT OVERNIGHT INTO FRIDAY. THE 00Z KFWD SOUNDING REVEALED THE MAGNITUDE OF THE LOW LEVEL AIRMASS BY PUSHING THE COLD LAYER TOWARD -6 C BENEATH THE WARM NOSE. THIS FAVORS A REFREEZE OF PRECIP TOWARD SLEET AND GIVEN THIS THE ICE TOTALS HAVE BEEN LOWERED FROM PITTSBURGH/HASKELL/LATIMER COUNTIES. ACCORDINGLY THE ICE STORM WARNING WILL BE ADJUSTED TO A WINTER STORM WARNING FOR THESE COUNTIES. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOWEVER...DO HAVE THE SLEET SNOW TRANSITION ACROSS THENWRN COUNTIES SOONER...AS WELL AS SOME LOCATIONS SEEING THEFREEZING RAIN TO SLEET TRANSITION A BIT SOONER. AXIS OF HEAVIESTFZRA WILL STILL BE FROM WEST CENTRAL SECTIONS...INTO CENTRAL ANDNERN SECTIONS OF THE CWA THROUGH THE SUNRISE TIME FRAME.

THIS COULD ALSO BE THE CASEIN AREAS THAT ARE SEEING THE FZRA AND SLEET...AND EVEN NOT OUT OFTHE QUESTION IN THE SNOWFALL AS THERE IS SOME VERY WEAK CONVECTIVEINSTABILITY WELL ALOFT IN THOSE REGIONS.

One day its 70 and the next, well look its snowing/zr and sleet lol. It never ceases to amaze me out here for sure! I do miss the massive snow storms though, nothing like howling 40mph+ winds with gobs of snow so large you cant see a thing and drifts up to your shoulders....was awesome and Im glad for the memories. Would have been nice to have cameras and camcorders back then like we have now days for remembering and sharing stuff, I have a short term memory and probly forget most all the storms except the monster ones.

brettjrob Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Round 2 is just about underway for C OK. Starting out as a PL/SN mix in SE Norman, but reports of all SN as close as Moore. Reflectivity upstream on KFDR bodes well for at least the next few hours. May the column-max 0 C line be ever in our favor... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ouamber Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Lol, I am sleep deprived this week!!

I know I am being an emotional woman, but dang it, I got spoiled thinking GHD Blizzard would become the norm for us. WRONG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
