    I am nearing a half inch as well. Most of the rain is very light. I don't think we'll make an inch here. I heard a little rumble just before 3am, but that's it. We will probably have to wait until April for any real thunderstorm activity.

    Cedar Rapids also made it to 70º.

    The storm just off the east coast today is expected to drop from the 990s to the 960s in only twelve hours.

    We reached 59º yesterday, as models suggested. However, the two previous days, and also today, we've been several degrees short of the expected high. It had looked like we were done with 30s, but today we're stuck at only 34º.

    I like to see people try to forecast winter, but the skill just isn't there. You may as well flip a coin, but err on the warm side.

    A couple robins also showed up here today. The last of the January glacier is finally melting off of the lawn. That glacier was pretty resilient. Because the January snowfall was glazed in ice, which make measuring future snow very easy, I left my snow boards deep under the snow. They are just now emerging.

    Their March temperature outlook is mild and great. However, their 3-month outlook has the upper midwest at only average, which means they think April/May will be cold. I'd rather have a cold March and mild late spring.

    Today was better than yesterday, but we still under-performed by a fair amount, only reaching about 44º.

    Only 1.7" fell in my yard this month. That single snowfall, on Feb 12, was the only measurable snow in the entire month.

    The Euro has trended much farther south with the midweek system. All the heavy rain has been moved to the Tennessee Valley/deep South.

    I try to be as accurate as possible. Often, I wait 8 or more hours to clear my snow board because I don't want to feel like I'm just trying to win a spotter competition. When there is wind and the snow is drifting, I often end up measuring less than surrounding spotters.

    It appears a progressive northern stream will keep much, if not all, of the active weather and precip south and east of the upper midwest over the next couple weeks. The only thing to look forward to is a mild weekend.

    The theme of winter 2019-20.

    00z UK..... wow.

    What I don't get is why the heck DMX issued a watch for freakin' Ames and Des Moines. By the time this watch was issued, I don't think a single model had more than an inch of snow falling there.

    12z Euro

    12z UK is back south and weaker. The UK is caving to the UK.

    The UK continues to slowly improve. The western end of the snow band has shifted further north. It's still not as robust as other models.

    00z Canadian

    Through the 12z run, a solid surface low was shown lifting north into northern Illinois. As the phasing has faded/delayed, that low is gone.

    DMX has issued a watch for Ames and Des Moines even though the models show little if any snow falling there.
  24. hawkeye_wx
    It seems the UK was the only model to see early on that the two waves would be too far apart. The other models are finally seeing it. The Euro may be the king, but it's the king of Turdistan. It has been just about as bad this winter as every other model.
