Welcome to a weekend winter wonderland
By James Baughn, Armchair Weather Guesser
It seemed to take forever, but the heavy snow finally arrived. During the evening, the snow was piling up at a rate of over 1 inch per hour.
Below are the totals reported to the National Weather Service. The winners of the snow sweepstakes appear to be Stoddard and Wayne counties with reports of up to 9.5 inches.
On Monday I'll take a look at the accuracy, or lack thereof, of the computer model projections leading up to the storm. For now, enjoy the white stuff! And feel free to razz some of the Speak Out regulars who didn't think we would get much.
