    -6 here before temps rose towards daybreak. The weekend snow brought us to 16.1" already for the season. As they say in baseball, keep the line moving.
  2. cyclone77
    Fresh snow working it's magic. Already at -5 here.
  3. cyclone77
    MLI with 2.2", DVN had 3.2". Ended up with 3.8" here. Luckily the freezing rain didn't last too long.
  4. cyclone77
    Freezing rain is now mixing in here as well. 1-3" call for QC was money.

    Thinking we may have a hard time attaining the 3" mark. Precip upstream is looking pretty showery, and we just aren't getting the high rate/low vis type stuff that they got out in Iowa all day. Storm is definitely on the decline. Still a nice lil' refresher though.

    Saw that. Gonna be a close call here, but thinking we should stay all snow. Flake size has increased finally with enhanced radar returns moving in now. May really see it ramp up in intensity in the next hour or so. Up to about an inch now.
  7. cyclone77
    Took awhile but it's pouring pretty nicely now, smallish flakes. Looks like a half inch or so.
  8. cyclone77
    A few tenths so far here after 2 hours. Been extremely light so far, but better radar returns are incoming.
  9. cyclone77
    Top down saturation complete. Pixie dust has commenced here.

    Our county as well. Point has 4.8" here, but some 6" amounts in the north part of the county. Models generally average 0.25-0.35" here. Looking like a solid 3"er with maybe a bit more if ratios play ball.
  11. cyclone77
    Very true.
  12. cyclone77
    Always nice to have the windshield wiper effect on the models 12hrs before the first flakes.
  13. cyclone77
    Wagons north on the 00z guidance. Also seem to be much drier than previous model cycles for the northwestern half of Iowa. The Des Moines office are probably pulling their hair out this evening. I'd probably favor a 1-3" call for the QC. 2-4" up along the 20 corridor in Iowa.

    DVN playing this one conservative after getting burned by the last system when they called for 12-15". Most areas ended up 8-12". No advisory east of the MS River.
  15. cyclone77
    Impressive. Was expecting to crash towards -10 in the evening, but the southerlies arrived a few hours ahead of what models had been showing. Only made it down to +1.
  16. cyclone77
    Just like summer, looking forward to some Iowa sloppy seconds Sat night/Sunday. 1-2" refresher looking likely. Euro likely overdoing amounts in the 48-72hr ranger per usual.
  17. cyclone77
    Stacking pretty nicely. Let's keep it going!
  18. cyclone77
    -5 this morning here. First subzero of the season. EDIT: Made it down to -6 later on..
  19. cyclone77
    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.
  20. cyclone77
    Had some spits of drizzle with the passage of the cool front here. Temp made it up above freezing for a bit at 33.
  21. cyclone77
    Finished with 1.3". About 8-9" on the ground, with the weekend layer being pretty dense.
  22. cyclone77
    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.
  23. cyclone77
    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.
  24. 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.
  25. 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.
