Look at Base Radar PTracker, everything is way more south.

Whats streaming over us will probably be it till it moves east.

Sure would like to see that hold up and make it to the MS coast later tonight or early morning...

Precip has completely stopped here

BigB, it was a great run

definitely everything closed down tomorrow, these roads are undrivable. It was fun! Even got a snowman out of it!

Well, other than the fact that I only saw a few flakes, this storm ended up a lot better than I thought it was when I got up this morning. Radar looked amazing about 7am but it wasn't long before the dry slot made itself known. Maybe it was for the best. If we had gotten 4-5 hours of freezing rain we may have had horrible power outages. The sleet at least looks like snow from a window and doesn't weigh down anything. I have another day off from school. I suppose Thursday isn't out of the question on being canceled. If not much melting happens tomorrow then the roads may have to remain closed as everything will refreeze Wed night.

where do you attend school big b?

#627 Postby **BigB0882** » Tue Jan 28, 2014 8:11 pm

I am a teacher over in Brusly. They need the MS bridge open as most of us teacher are in BR and the inter coastal has to be open for the buses.

Base reflectivity shows lots of precip in BR but nothings falling. Weird.

Got excited, one of the radars showed snow over BTR but nothing outside. Must be like windnrain mentioned.

Well we hoped for the best and got about what many of thought would really happen in the back of our minds.

For me this was pretty equivalent to what we got last week. Just came down harder in a much shorter time but equaled out the same. Already don't trust any models during hurricane season and this will be the last time I go all in with them for winter storms as well, at least for down here. :wink:

Should have known better.

High risk high reward unfortunately. That warm nose took a toll.

Yeah….bad last 7-8 months for models in the south

#633 Postby **BigB0882** » Tue Jan 28, 2014 9:00 pm

I feel like we got a lot more but maybe because I am a little north of you, Cyclone. Much more of the ground is covered. It was almost all sleet this go round whereas last time was a lot more freezing rain. Maybe the same QPF but it appears like it was more because it piled up. The streets also are horrible, even the surface roads.

I think we've learned a lot this round about temperature profiles didn't we?

, not to trust the crazy snow amount maps until you check what they are showing over your heads! It's not the model's fault though they don't tell us if it's snowing or sleeting or whatnot they just show qpf and temp profiles. It's the interpreter in this case those who made the maps using not so good algorithms.

We definitely go ta lot more in Baton Rouge. Weather.com says its snowing... nothing falling outside though.

#636 Postby **BigB0882** » Tue Jan 28, 2014 9:16 pm

Yeah, weather.com showing snow but nothing falling here near Oak Hills.

windnrain · #637 Postby **windnrain** » Tue Jan 28, 2014 9:18 pm

I'll go outside to check soon tough. Even base reflectivity is showing stuff falling and there's decent precip/moisture west of us.

windnrain · #638 Postby **windnrain** » Tue Jan 28, 2014 9:19 pm

I wanna give props to GFS by the way. QPF is at .38" right now. GFS predicted EXACTLY that.

#639 Postby **JSDS** » Tue Jan 28, 2014 9:21 pm

After a period with nothing, I'm getting very, very light snow. I can see it, but it's so light I can't feel it. I don't know if it's cranking up again, or if this is the tail end of everything.

Are my eye's decieving me, or is this another dose of heavy precip developing? Hopefully snow this time! http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/goes/comp/ceus/flash-wv.html
