Another look at the February 19 snowstorm. I downloaded the satellite image from yesterday and you can cleanly see the swath of snow cover from the storm. The second image has some notation that I added. The third image is a map of observed snowfall that @rustywx.bsky.social created (thanks Rusty!).

Lincoln is in the middle of a five-day cold wave. Our daily high last Tuesday was 72°F and yesterday was only 21°F. Rapid warmup after Monday but apparently weekends are a problem with colder than normal again next weekend before returning to warmer than normal out thru March 8.

Yesterday's precipitation (melted snow) was 0.40" Lincoln Airport & 0.36" to 0.59" across the city. Snowfall at the airport was 6.3" & from 6.0" to 9.0" across the city. The ground is unfrozen so when this melts it will go into the dry soil. Photos: Two NDOT cameras showing today's snowy landscape.
