    Our local NBC station recently announced a plan to dump all their mets and just use The Weather Channel, but they got backlash and halted the plan... for now.

    We hit 54º today as the clouds moved in. That's three straight days of 50º. Mason City hit 62º today.

    Models still disagree about Cedar Rapids. We could get a half inch or nothing. Most models have trended south, but a few are hanging on.

    It definitely helps that the entire region has been snowless this winter. It would be much worse if I was sitting at 7" and Waterloo and Dubuque were at 35".

    We made it to the low 50s again today.

    Now models are punting the chance of any real snow until mid February. A few more punts are we'll be moving on to spring.

    Our low-water 3" of snow is vanishing quickly today.

    Unsurprisingly, all the snow along the gulf coast is already gone.

    This weak disturbance barely showed up on some models, but it really over-performed across east-central Iowa. It started early this morning and it snowed here all day. My storm total is pretty solid 3.3". The first inch was 10:1 and the next two inches were 20:1.

    This morning's EPS is the first decent-looking run in a long time. In the 10-15 day range, it has a western trough, with snow-producing waves getting ejected into the midwest.

    Another nickel-and-dimer this morning. I've picked up 1.1" so far.. A bit more could fall through this afternoon.

    There are people in New Orleans showing measurements of 12". I have lived in Cedar Rapids for 50 years and I have never measured 12" from any storm.

    I was looking forward to watching heavy snow during the Eagles game, but so far it is rather disappointing. The precip is too scattered.

    It's amazing how stuck the pattern is this winter. It doesn't seem to matter which phase the MJO is in. We just cannot get a trough in the west.

    Man, this winter is really brutal for snow lovers. I can't remember anything like this. An entire winter with little to no hope of anything is astonishing. Day after day, the ensembles out to 15 days are bone dry.

    This is not a snowfall graphic we see very often.
  17. hawkeye_wx
    We way over-performed today, warmed to 53º.

    Houston and New Orleans may get accumulating snow early next week.

    0.9" of snow here this morning.

    Suppression, suppression, suppression... ad infinitum. The 12z deterministic Euro even has a strong deep south snow and ice storm. Ugh.
  21. hawkeye_wx
    Parts of Iowa have still had no measurable snow this winter, and there is little to nothing in sight. Meanwhile, Birmingham and Atlanta are getting 2-3" this morning.
  22. hawkeye_wx
    Models have also really backed off of the extreme cold they were advertising a week ago. Now it just looks like some typical January cold. The latest model runs don't even have any sub-zero lows here.
  23. hawkeye_wx
    The deterministic/op Euro has actually shown a clear south and drier trend from 12z to 18z to 00z today.
  24. hawkeye_wx
    00z GFS.... south on the western end, north on the eastern end. The totals are wildly overdone, but I'm just following the track of the snow path.

    Here's the final Iowa snow map.
