3.5" last night generally around Kansas City, which puts KCI in the area 26" for the winter. My TV station and the competitors had all predicted around 26" for the whole winter. So that will be blown out of the water. Ten more inches, and 2018-2019 will be a top ten snowfall season. We could easily receive that much Saturday if the predicted storm jogs 50 miles south or so. We have more storms on tap Tuesday and the following weekend March 1-2 (supposedly the return of the November blizzard).
We received a couple quick inches of snow here in Indy overnight. By 8AM it was up to 34 degrees with a heavy mist. Neighborhoods are slushy, sloppy mess but most of the main roads are now in good shape. North is definitely worse where it hasn't warmed above freezing yet and is more rural.
That's like 6-7C above average in a very stable part of the world, it's very notable
Not really, it's normal to go down to -5.7°C one night in February and up to 13.3°C one day. Exceptional, but not extreme. It was 16.5°C on this day 2 years ago and 18.1°C on 23 February 1990. My nearest city, Worcester reached 19.6°C on 13 February 1998. It's going to be 16°C on Saturday, that's extreme.
With the Jet stream continuing to stay dipped in the West as been most of this winter, Pacific influence continues to wreak havoc on systems in the Northeast introducing warm Pacific air in the moisture. No full snow event continue.
see loop below.
In motion last 4 hours. Some moisture coming from the gulf now but note the flow is from the pacific thanks to that dipping Jet down to Mexico!
Note the moisture avoiding the blocking SouthEast Ridge
That SER is no joke!
Later this week... Jet stream continues to be dipped over the Rockies. Unreal. How warm with Ohio Valley get?
2/3rds of the Great Lakes are frozen. Very little of Lake Michigan is, but that will change next week with a late season Arctic blast.
