  1. 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.
  2. Nice rippage over the past hour or so. Probably up near 6" now. Still 10+ hours to go.
  3. That dry pocket was heading this way and I was like nope, not today ma nature and she filled it back in.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Light snow has begun here. Let the games begin.
  7. Top down saturation almost complete. Should be seeing the first flakes before long.
  8. Probably backing down more towards reality. Still high-end event nonetheless.
  9. 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.
  10. That 1 foot swath is about identical to the derecho 2020 swath lol.
  11. Yep, and ironically it'll be the very first measurable snowfall of 25-26 there lol. Have had 0.3" here.
  12. 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.
  13. Can't recall any other warning criteria events here when the winds were from the southeast predominately. Gonna be kind of strange lol.
  14. So nice to be tracking a system where we don't have to worry about the timing of a changeover, dry tongue issues, and moisture robbing 'vection.
  15. Feeling pretty confident about 5-7" here and the QC. Seems like higher totals are drifting back toward reality as we get closer.
  16. Those were some warning criteria winds today. Several locations well over 55mph multiple times. Cedar Rapids hit 64mph, Iowa City hit 63mph. MLI/DVN hit 57/56mph.
  17. No doubt. I noticed driving into work this am that a lot of the clingers that were on the oaks were ripped off overnight.
  18. A lot of folks will be putting up their Christmas trees Fri-Sat so this will be like movie like timing for that lol.
  19. 50-55mph wind gusts have arrived. DVN/MLI have gusted to 56/53mph. Cedar Rapids has hit 60mph. A stark contrast to the calm/dense fog environment we had at this time yesterday morning.
  20. We had about a foot of snow a few days after Turkey Day back in 2018. Picked up a half inch of rain in the morning and switched over to very heavy wet snow. Best November event for snow I've ever seen here hands down.
  21. Yeah 18z Euro gets the rain up to I-80 in IL now. Another bump north and Eurythmics will be playing at ALEK's lol.
