Last night's 2.2" of snow made for the 3rd highest snow event of the season, and brought us up to an even 16" for the season. DVN/MLI are at 17.7/17.5 for the season. They're both a bit ahead of here because they benefited a bit more from that straight south moving/weird clipper earlier in the season.

What's PR/OT? Peurto Rico? Overtime? I don't get it.
-
Dubuque picked up over 5" today, so they've jumped to over 20" for the season now.
-
Got over 2" here with over 1.5" the past 2 hours.
-
Yeah it's like feathers. Def north of 20:1 LSR.
-
Wow what a difference with this band. Picked up over a half inch in past half hour.
-
lol. Just the casual 0.05"/hr rates. I'm sure Bo is prob jealous.
-
Been snowing for 8.5hrs, up to 0.4" now. For the first time flakes other than pixie dust are falling. Enhanced band moving in now.
-
How much snow have you had up there? Had about 14" here so far not counting what's coming from the current storm. Dubuque only at 15.5" or something. Looks like Rockford below 15" as well. Just a sad, sad winter lol.
-
Pixies most of the afternoon. Maybe a few tenths so far.
-
Call looking money. Gonna have to "ALEK" more often lol.
-
Forgot to mention I saw two robins bouncing around in the backyard yesterday. Looked like they were hunting for worms, but with the ground frozen I'm guessing it was an exercise in futility.
-
Picked up 0.35" of rain today. Did hear thunder for the first time this year which was nice.
-
Speaking of radar the DVN one crapped the bed a few hours ago.
-
Kind of wish we could go for futility records at this point, but unfortunately we've already exceeded them. Prob nickel and dime to a 15-20" pos'er lol.
-
I'm actually glad this one broke the trend and didn't trend southeast. Def don't want all that ice that southern WI/northeast IA appears will get.
-
I gonna pull an ALEK, 3" final call.
-
Your summoning appears to have worked lol. I will have to try that next season.
-
Great day to take down the remaining outdoor xmas lights. A bit windy, but I was on the sheltered side of the house. Up to 51 here, 54 at MLI/DVN. Sioux City torching at 65!
-
Can definitely see how the snowfield downstate is impacting today's temps.
-
You can tell the sun is already getting stronger. Even though it only made it to 23 today, the full sun melted off most of the 0.8" that fell last evening in areas that weren't shaded. Looking forward to the 50s tomorrow. EDIT: May make another run at 60 tomorrow upon further look. Record is 74 though, so we'll be far from that. That 74 happened back in the great Feb torch of '17. Can't believe that's been 5 years ago already.
-
Yep, looks like a rainer Tues, followed by another miss southeast with this storm lol.
-
Well that was fun, picked up 0.8" of snow here in about 55 minutes. Snow was finely granulated which cut down on ratios. Flake size near the end became much larger, and thus visibility actually improved quite a bit in the final 10 mins of snow. Def the best event of Feb for the QCA.
-
Looking pretty legit out there. Vis def under a half mile, with the new dusting of snow whipping around pretty good.
-
Pixies/mist with the leading edge of the squall that just hit here. Getting windy.
