    So much for the 30" in southern IA eh? 4.5" here with snow picking up a bit again.
  2. cyclone77
    Back down to light snow after several hours of steady moderate snow at times with very large flakes. Haven't measured in awhile but guessing over 4" now. HRRR/RAP show another 0.2" of precip by late tomorrow so should hopefully be able to squeeze a few more inches out by then, albeit a much much slower pace than what fell this evening.

    Think I'll just get ahead of the game and reserve a hotel in Des Moines for Saturday night lol. All kidding aside it'll be nice to have something to track again.

    Just under 4" and still ripping. Getting pretty lucky with this localized enhancement the past hour or two. Winds aren't really too gusty, so not all that much blowing/drifting snow unlike earlier.
  5. cyclone77
    Pouring very large flakes.

    Snow has been real nice the past few hours. Looks like we should eclipse the 3" mark in the next hour as the dry slot reaches here. Gonna have to rally later tonight and tomorrow to get to that magical 6" mark though. EDIT: DVN just updated their map and lowered totals for the QCA to 3-6"

    The gaps between the bands have filled in out this way and the snow has been pretty steady for quite awhile now. Looks like maybe 2" or so.
  8. cyclone77
    Snowflakes are surprisingly large considering how gusty the winds are. No granulation at all unless the flakes started out giant cottonballs aloft lol.
  9. cyclone77
    As often as I can get away with Back to heavy snow with another enhanced band overhead.
  10. cyclone77
    HRRR and RAP both give you guys another 0.5" of precip through tomorrow, which should be a good 6-7" easily. Cedar Rapids will not be denied this winter, we all know that lol.

    Small flakes now that we're back to light snow, but under the enhanced band that came through flake size was quite nice. Snow rates outside the enhanced bands are pretty poor. This is gonna be a long duration thing, so it's gonna take all night to build up amounts to what we expect/hope. Haven't measured, but looks like a good half inch to inch so far but there's lots of blowing making it hard to tell by glancing out the window.

    Heavy snow falling atm.
  13. cyclone77
    Pixie dust fest here the past hour or so with maybe a tenth down. Better returns moving in from the south in the next hour will help.
  14. cyclone77
    And light snow has now commenced here.
  15. cyclone77
    Was just across the river in Le Claire and it was already spitting a few flakes there.
  16. cyclone77
    Maybe the Saturday-Sunday system can get Des Moines up over 50" lol. When you're hot you're hawt.

    Fish represents warning criteria event.
  18. cyclone77
    Yeah I think they average somewhere in the 30s. IIRC they've had some pretty crappy winters in the past decade so I guess they were due.
  19. cyclone77
    With Des Moines already at 29" of snow for the season, they're looking to exceed 40" by tomorrow as a foot of snow there is looking like a slam dunk. Amazing winter for them.
  20. cyclone77
    Looks like the snow won't get going until near sunset unfortunately. Was hoping to see some daytime snow. Still looking good for 6-8" if 12:1 LSR work out. If LSR end up less we'll be more in the 5-6" type range.

    It's starting to remind me of the never-ending spam calls about auto warranty expiring 4 times per day.

    New Euro actually trended a bit juicier for the QCA, dumping 0.6-0.7" of precip which would fluff up to 7-9".
  24. cyclone77
    Yeah it's been great. I'm not a huge snow cover aficionado like Michigansnowfreak but it's been great having solid snow cover through the heart of the winter season.

    0.2" for north Alabama.
