    6th day now that the DVN radar is down for maintenance. Wish they would have finished ahead of schedule like they have in the past, but not in the cards this time unfortunately. At least severe isn't threatening while it's down. HRRR shows over an inch of rain for the QC, Euro and other models around 0.5-0.7". Nothing major but a nice little soaker. EDIT: Radar is back in service.

    Haven't looked since yesterday but the Euro was showing 45-50mph gust potential Thu morning. Would look pretty legit if it were to flip over to heavy snow.

    Looks likes 1/2-3/4" of cold rain tomorrow night and Thursday.

    April will be rockin

    Planted daffodils bulbs last October. So far nothing has poked out of the ground. Wonder if they crapped out lol.

    The stuff here is like cement. There's been no melting so far which is impressive for mid March. MLI picked up 0.98" of precip today.
  7. cyclone77
    Down to very light snow. Finished with 2.5" of snow and sleet, minor ice glazing, and probably near an inch of precip in total.

    Rochelle down to 1/8 mile now.

    Yeah that's a heck of a lightning barrage out there by Dekalb. Showing 8 strikes in 2 minutes.

    Heavy snow here. Sky has become much brighter in the past 15 minutes so with the heavy snow falling it's super bright out there. Over 2" now.

    That sucks. Last evening's 00z HRRR run was lol worthy, showing 10"+ in the Cedar Rapids area. I'd be curious to know how much qpf fell here, we've had steady moderate to heavy precip since 7:30. Guessing it's gotta be pushing an inch.
  13. cyclone77
    Shifted over to heavy snow for about 20 minutes, but back to mostly sleet again. Snow rates were well over an inch an hour, as we picked up another half inch in that 20 minutes. If this thing could have stayed all snow we easily would have surpassed 6". Around 1.5" snow/sleet so far.
  14. cyclone77
    80/20 sleet/frz rain. Has turned into sort of an ice storm. Haven't seen snow in over an hour. As per usual WAA aloft can't be denied.
  15. cyclone77
    Pounding sleet. Snow completely ceased. Close to an inch of snow/sleet so far.
  16. cyclone77
    The transition here was sort of bizarre. Dry (normal) flakes started mixing in with the rain/sleet. Usually you get the white rain/partially or mostly melted flakes pouring down first. Dry flakes just started fluttering down in the midst of the rain and sleet. Don't think I've ever seen that before. Snow is getting pretty close to heavy with the ground quickly whitening. EDIT 9:32- Heavy sleet has mixed back in and knocked the snow intensity back quite a bit.
  17. cyclone77
    Mostly snow now here
  18. cyclone77
    Rain mixed with sleet and a few rogue flakes. 0.16" rain so far. Using ILX radar since DVN has been unplugged.

    This one and the next event around the 18th are throw-away events. Minor stat padding at best for snowfall. No convective potential which sucks for mid March. Basically it's looking like the whole stretch from late Feb to late March is a month worth of down time for anything of interest of any kind. Hopefully something of interest shows up sometime in April.
  20. cyclone77
    Every event this winter that had mixing to start had disappointing results for snowfall for this area, so I'm gonna bet against seeing much snow and play the pessimistic role for this one lol.
  21. cyclone77
    Looks like a messy mix for this area. By the time it gets ready to change to mostly snow the event will likely be pretty much done. Kind of a meh event really for this area.
  22. cyclone77
    Made a little modification for Ma's day

    Have my 2nd does of the moderna shot a week from tomorrow. Kind of interested to see if I'll get any of the 2nd vaccine symptoms that some have had. 1st one was a breeze.
  24. cyclone77
    As expected the Iowa convection slowly crapped out by the time it got here. Picked up 0.02", enough to rinse a grain or two of salt off the roads.
  25. cyclone77
    Still in the 60s with 40 mph wind gusts from the south, and dewpoint of 54. Def feels like spring this evening.
