UW-weather Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 my forecast from www.midwestweather.org critics out there...lay it on me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtlehurricane Posted March 10, 2013 Author Share Posted March 10, 2013 0.85" liquid so far, stuck at 37 F so the snowpack is still pretty deep. Hopefully the snow band tracks a little SE of current projections. The county just to the northwest has a winter storm warning for 4-7", but we have no advisory in Madison. Currently MKX expects an inch here, but a 50 mile shift could mean 6 inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonbo Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 The moderate rain quickly turned over to heavy wet snow about a half hour ago. Drive home from the east side of DSM to the west side became a nightmare with it ripping hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TugHillMatt Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 storm track thru CHI area, across L mi,and up towards TVC has been amazingly consistent this Winter. Amazingly annoying. Not just this winter...it seems to be a common track in the Midwest, period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchaumburgStormer Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Fog is very very dense today. Areas approaching 1/8th mile visibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-L-E-K Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 definitely some minor flooding on going in the city right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Been a miserable afternoon with upper 30s rain and patchy dense fog. Dry slot quickly approaching though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostfern Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Snow is not melting fast enough. Please rain harder and get rid of it all, it's so gross now! The last 4 inches or so is as dense as hail so it's just not melting very fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iastfan112 Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Normally I view myself as a Central/West subforum member but with the other areas this storm is hitting hardest, I'll post here. Just a bit north and east of Fort Dodge, IA(home for spring break) and we have 4.5 of heavy wet snow down. Visibilities are down around 1/8-1/4 of a mile as well.

SchaumburgStormer Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 About 150-200 feet of visibility. There is a house 250 ft in from of me on the left in this photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daddylonglegs Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Interesting... probably be about an hour here before we change over? 18z gfs came in with lower amts...keeps the heaviest north... thinking 3-5 inches here of concrete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the highest amounts could be between la crossed and roch somewhere maybe 9 inches or so. Morning commute will be a peach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 It's going to take a lot of melt the remaining 9" here. Now it's just incredibly foggy. 0.77" of rain through 7pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 radar is lite up like a christmas tree over NE Iowa...still holding 36F here, but I swear the NWS bluff webcam (33F) is showing snow in the last few frames. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geos Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Some pics of the rain and fog today. Pretty much what it looked like with driving rain and dense fog about 2 hours ago. My other camera doesn't handle fog well, but it makes for an interesting picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turtlehurricane Posted March 11, 2013 Author Share Posted March 11, 2013 Temp dropping steadily as the center of the low swings by, 34.4 F on top of the meteorology building. At least 1.1" rain now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iastfan112 Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 From the looks of radar, western and northern Iowa is getting pounded. Yeah from 2pm-7pm it really ripped here. Still getting good snows now but the intensity is down somewhat. 7-7.5 inches as of 8 pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 My road is completely under water. This is technically a flood plain, so street flooding around here is pretty common during rain storms. This is really bad though, as all the drains are still iced over from where the snow plows left piles. I had to go out front and rescue the large garbage canister the city provides, as it had floated into the street lol. Water came up to my lower shins. That was some cold ass water!! Looks like the rain is pretty much done now. Just drizzling out there. Up to 1.44"/1.86" day/storm. Grass is showing in many areas now, so probably around an inch of slush left.
