Yeah radar looks pretty terrible in southern IA/northern MO. That's what I get for being optimistic earlier lol. I'll enjoy my 1" of slop and bring on the thaw tomorrow I guess.
I'm actually kind of torn. Usually once snow starts to get that mangy look and it's getting to this time of the year I'm ready for it to get out as well. Since our snow cover streak will be a solid 2 months next week I'm kind of hoping it hangs around as long as it can. If models started showing a 65 degree torch with convection it'd be hard to root against that though lol.
Omaha also down to 1/8 mile now. 4-5" reports coming out of that area already.
Models generally have 0.2-0.3" of precip for here/QC. I think the kuchera ratios area actually too pessimistic along the I-80 corridor where in some cases they have it <10:1. Think there's a good chance at 12-14:1 if we get into some good banding, so 3-4" looks possible.
Have a rainer next Sat, and then another one next Tue on the op Euro, with temps above freezing each day starting tomorrow. Safe to say the snow depth will be at it's peak later today/this evening, and then all downhill from there.
Looks like clouds are gonna coc k block our chance at a 15th consecutive day of below zero. Persistent clouds continue to back-build along the I-80 corridor, and that's kept our temps up near 10 above. About 15 miles north where it's clear they are already below zero. 14 days in a row below zero is still very impressive for this area, especially in Feb.
Yeah it's been fantastic since late Dec. Only complaint if one was to get picky was not getting in on any of the big dogs (6.3" heaviest event), but like I said in another thread we had a couple huge snows in early and late 2018 so it's all good.
Down to -1, which makes day 14 in a row below zero. What a remarkable stretch. Hard to believe we didn't have a single subzero day until Jan 28th, and now we get this crazy stretch.
Kind of sucks coming home from work and seeing so few posts in a storm thread. Kind of got spoiled and got used to it lol. Need something else good to track before I start getting the shakes.
Snowpack hasn't budged since the snow a few days ago, still at about 18". Normally you'd see at least a bit of settling/sublimation in that amount of time. Stout 'pack.
