    After southeasterly winds all day we have now shifted to westerlies. Nice little bonus area of enhanced snow moving in now.

    Sure was nice to use the snowblower and not freeze to death. Snow is wetter feeling than expected. Probably from the wind granulating it. Guessing ratios were pretty close to 10:1. Haven't measured since 5 but may have added a half inch. Snow's been very light the past few hours. DVN was 9.5" as of 6pm, MLI had 8.8".

    9.3 here as of 5pm. Nice dendrites now with southeast winds starting to lighten up.

    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.
  5. cyclone77
    Nice rippage over the past hour or so. Probably up near 6" now. Still 10+ hours to go.
  6. cyclone77
    4.5-5" here. Steady moderate snow.
  7. cyclone77
    That dry pocket was heading this way and I was like nope, not today ma nature and she filled it back in.
  8. cyclone77
    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.
  9. cyclone77
    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.
  10. cyclone77
    Light snow has begun here. Let the games begin.
  11. cyclone77
    Top down saturation almost complete. Should be seeing the first flakes before long.
  12. cyclone77
    Probably backing down more towards reality. Still high-end event nonetheless.
  13. cyclone77
    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.

    That 1 foot swath is about identical to the derecho 2020 swath lol.
  15. cyclone77
    Yep, and ironically it'll be the very first measurable snowfall of 25-26 there lol. Have had 0.3" here.
  16. cyclone77
    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.

    HRRR 18z is a beautiful sight to behold.
  18. cyclone77
    Can't recall any other warning criteria events here when the winds were from the southeast predominately. Gonna be kind of strange lol.
  19. cyclone77
    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.
  20. cyclone77
    Feeling pretty confident about 5-7" here and the QC. Seems like higher totals are drifting back toward reality as we get closer.
  21. cyclone77
    Custom mini screw hole for here. Pass lol
  22. cyclone77
    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.
  23. cyclone77
    Guessing the cat is the Euro.
  24. cyclone77
    No doubt. I noticed driving into work this am that a lot of the clingers that were on the oaks were ripped off overnight.
  25. cyclone77
    A lot of folks will be putting up their Christmas trees Fri-Sat so this will be like movie like timing for that lol.
