We've waited for this event (ugh) for about five days and so far it's going about as planned. Schools are down, the Y is down, I'm in booth #12. I thought we would see 3-4 inches but it may be closer to 6 when it tapers off this evening. I forgive the Y on this one. G'town P'way is crawling on the southbound side. May ride this commute out right here. One village in northeastern Oklahoma got 25 inches; another in northwestern Arkansas got 19. This is a real snow storm anywhere. Little Rock popped up to 3 miles a bit after the hour (3pm), so the end of the accumulating stuff isn't that far away but there is or are a couple of hours of good flakes to come. Each one weighs about a pound. It was interesting that the HPC guidance backed off on our prospects for four inches this morning. All through the wait for this event (ugh) the gfs was less enthusiastic than the nam as far as qpf's were concerned. At least we could assure the hillbillies at the airline of the internet that it would be measurable. I would bet a large Coke™ that we will only have light intensity snow here at Suite 114 from here on (4:10pm). If we got anything wrong, it looks like it will be the early departure of accumulating snowfall. I'm fine with that.
We here at the Institute worried about the weight of God's fluffy gift on our roof, til we remembered we didn't have one. Forward, to our doom. We will work from home tomorrow and give thanks.
