    Kind of a shame to see that nice weekend clipper quickly crap the bed as it enters Iowa. Hopefully the models are too quick to crap it.

    Had some spits of drizzle with the passage of the cool front here. Temp made it up above freezing for a bit at 33.
  3. cyclone77
    Finished with 1.3". About 8-9" on the ground, with the weekend layer being pretty dense.

    Much better flake size the past hour or so even though radar looks less impressive than earlier. Nice dendrites. Up to a little over an inch now. These bigger dendrites look very dry/sparkly on surfaces.

    Yeah unfortunately this one turned into a dog turd duster. Picked up perhaps a half inch of pixie dust. Nice to have daytime snowfall again though.
  6. cyclone77
    Being on the northern portion of the system you kind of worry this could bump a bit south and be just a dog turd duster, but we seem to be holding in the 0.12-0.17 range for precip. 1-2" refresher looking pretty likely here.
  7. cyclone77
    Looking like a 1-1.5" refresher for this area. Be nice to cover up the bare spots created from the 40mph winds early this morning.

    Pretty much a best case scenario for a share the wealth storm system. Nearly every location within our sub was able to get in on some decent snowfall. That's really hard to do. Final total here is 10.5". DVN with 10.6", MLI at 9.2" (1" more than all of last season), and DBQ had 12.3".

    10.3" here as of midnight. Still snowing decently with this final rotating swath of snow. It's now been snowing over 24 hours. Super high quality event.
  10. cyclone77
    After southeasterly winds all day we have now shifted to westerlies. Nice little bonus area of enhanced snow moving in now.
  11. cyclone77
    Sure was nice to use the snowblower and not freeze to death. Snow is wetter feeling than expected. Probably from the wind granulating it. Guessing ratios were pretty close to 10:1. Haven't measured since 5 but may have added a half inch. Snow's been very light the past few hours. DVN was 9.5" as of 6pm, MLI had 8.8".
  12. cyclone77
    9.3 here as of 5pm. Nice dendrites now with southeast winds starting to lighten up.
  13. cyclone77
    7 inches on the nose here as of about 1:45. Flake size has increased with these little enhanced blobs moving overhead from time to time.
  14. cyclone77
    Nice rippage over the past hour or so. Probably up near 6" now. Still 10+ hours to go.
  15. cyclone77
    4.5-5" here. Steady moderate snow.
  16. cyclone77
    That dry pocket was heading this way and I was like nope, not today ma nature and she filled it back in.
  17. cyclone77
    No doubt. MLI was up to 4.9" already as of 6am, so they will blow by the seasonal total by early to mid afternoon.
  18. cyclone77
    Eyeballing from the window it looks to be pushing 3" so far. Still 15+ hours to go of more snow. Best rates and flake size should be with the grand finale wave later this afternoon. Should hopefully stack up pretty good with that. 8-12 still looks doable.
  19. cyclone77
    Light snow has begun here. Let the games begin.
  20. cyclone77
    Top down saturation almost complete. Should be seeing the first flakes before long.
  21. cyclone77
    Probably backing down more towards reality. Still high-end event nonetheless.
  22. cyclone77
    DVN going all in with amounts generally 13 inches or more in the point forecast at locations near the QC. I would probably play it a bit more conservative with 8-12 with isolated higher amounts. Kind of splitting hairs though really as once you get over 8 inches it's a lot of snow regardless.
  23. cyclone77
    That 1 foot swath is about identical to the derecho 2020 swath lol.
  24. cyclone77
    Yep, and ironically it'll be the very first measurable snowfall of 25-26 there lol. Have had 0.3" here.
  25. cyclone77
    Starting to look like 10+ is looking pretty likely now for the QC. Models that seemed to be backing down to reality a few days ago miraculously reversed course. It's always nice to see CAMs and global models both agreeing on big dog totals on every model cycle.
