    12km NAM showed 2.70" of precip falling as freezing rain in southeast IA near Burlington. Even if 1/3 of that actually glazed up that would still be very significant. Luckily it only has us at around 1.5" of freezing rain lol.

    Gee, thanks lol The amount of QPF being generated on many of the models is extremely impressive for Jan.

    Very nice. That would have made for a nice time lapse with the big city lights lighting up the snow squall rolling in.

    Tonight's model runs that followed the NAM had a tough act to follow to be sure. Wintry side of the storm seems very thread-the-needle like, so it's going to be a few more days before I'd feel comfortable about how things will lay out on the wintry side of the system.

    Hooray, a storm thread! Hopefully me bashing this storm last night jinxed it in a good way lol.

    These positive tilted/southern stream dominant systems always underperform with cold sector precip. Cold sector precip is narrow/fleeting where it occurs. Without a northern stream component to phase with this will be a non-event except for maybe a 25 mile wide area that gets a quick 2-3" of slop.

    zzzzzz

    Was thinking about starting a poll thread asking when will the next storm thread be needed/created. Could just set the over/under for Jan 25 I guess.

    Wasn't keeping stats back then, but I remember that winter being very benign for this area. Come to think of it, just like this POS winter lol.

    Days are already getting longer. Have gained about 15 mins back of sunset time. 8 weeks of met winter left, and then it's time to start looking towards spring. Let's hope something worthy of tracking shows up later this month, or in Feb.

    Finished with 1.9".

    Still a nice snow globe effect out there, as nice dendrites slowly drift down. Looks like about an inch and a half, mostly on grassy/elevated surfaces. Snow is also sticking to the trees, etc. May make a run at 2". Click pic for bigger image. Quick cell pics.

    That's very impressive. Gotta love these compact little vorts. Looks like about a half inch or so, so far. It's only sticking on grassy/elevated surfaces. Nice little snow globe action.
  14. cyclone77
    Very nice dendrites with the enhanced band that just passed through. Can def see how those areas in north IA achieved those amounts.
  15. cyclone77
    Light snow has begun here.
  16. cyclone77
    Yeah wouldn't surprise me given the focused little bands. The key will be to get underneath one for a decent length of time lol.
  17. cyclone77
    Looks like the snow arrived there in time to give you a little daytime snow. Looks like an inch or so is possible here.
  18. cyclone77
    I'm surprised we haven't started a thread for this event. Looks like a real barn burner. EDIT: Speaking of which, we've only had 4 event threads so far and we're now into January LMAO!!

    Everyday I come home from work and check the board hoping something interesting has popped up. Been like groundhog day the past month+. One of these days maybe there'll be something. Sheeesh, what a benign pattern we're stuck in.
  20. cyclone77
    Looks like the next round of light snow will arrive after midnight Fri night, and be out of here by daybreak. The season of the nocturnal nickel and dimers continues. This season def sucks ass, but I guess that's to be expected after such a great season last year.
  21. cyclone77
    Feb will be rockin!
  22. cyclone77
    A day earlier and this would make for a great birthday present lol.
  23. cyclone77
    Picked up 0.2" of snow overnight.
  24. cyclone77
    The extreme warmth in Feb 2017 to me was as impressive, if not more impressive than Morch for this area. At MLI 4 days in a row of 70+, with 5 out of 6 days in a row of 70+. 7 days that month of 69+ degrees. A new all-time record high for the month was set as well as it hit 74 on the 19th. There were 7 new record highs that month.

    Getting a little frizzle atm. Pretty blustery out there today. Looks like a little wave of light snow possible after midnight for a potential dusting. The best way to watch it snow this season...
