    Taken back in Luther, but this in that area of 110kt velocity northwest of DMX.

    Seems as if Tama county has had the worst winds so far, EM reporting up to 100mph gusts there. At least for DMX's CWA most of the larger cities (DSM/Ames) have siren activation for any warning with 70+

    Hey guys, just dropping in here now to say hello! I'll be moving out to DEN/BOU near the end of June to start at the WFO. Looking forward to some future discussions with you all, and I'm excited to live in a slightly more exciting state! Hopefully you'll be seeing me in more threads around here over the next few months. Any advice on the best places to live would always be appreciated (and maybe the best places to get out to storm chase from too )

    We got down to -7 in Ames this morning, and -1F at DSM. The -7 is a degree off the all time Ames record but shatters a record from 1911 (2F). DSM's is also a record, five degrees colder than the previous one. I'm personally very thankful that this type of anomalous cold didn't come in the dead of January.

    Ended up with around 4" here, depending on which CoCoRaHS station you like in Ames. Not too shabby for a fairly short duration event. Now for the cold!

    Around 1-1.5" in Ames. The 1.2" which fell yesterday night at DMX is a daily snowfall record, breaking the previous record of 0.2" in 1913. Thankfully we didn't have any accumulations on roads, it sounds like traffic got pretty rough in the eastern half of the state.

    How's this one? Obviously very marginal thermals below 850, but I'd favor a zone of 3-6" wherever they can hold on to snow long enough. The NAM is obviously overdone, but something like the 3km NAM doesn't seem too far fetched.

    METAR obs. don't show much all the time, especially if it's windy like it is now.

    You should be able to get ECMWF 850mb DP's on Plymouth's site as well.
