harrisale 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. Wow. Did you take any pics? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 That is a lot of water...especially when nothing can soak in. Wait until the temps drop and it all freezes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Cyclone - nothing quite that extreme here, but there is a few spots in the rural areas where water has accumulated in low spots. This picture shows an example of pooling water in the farm fields. Looks like the cold front is about to push through for you. Might need an icebreaker on your street come morning!

hawkeye_wx Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Storm is done here. The rain was impressive... 2.15". The models today were in agreement there would be no snow along and southeast of Cedar Rapids to Dubuque and they were right. The NWS stubbornly stuck to their snow advisory for this area all day, but I don't know why. Even the Des Moines NWS busted bad as this storm tracked farther nw and the warned area from central to northeast Iowa only got 1-3 inches. It has been a tough week for DMX. The last storm they were expecting squat and got a foot, then this storm they expected 4-8 inches and got squat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Completely snow covered here again... adding up already. Looks like the dry slot is about to shut your snow off as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 18z GFS was north with the highest amts...looks like that will be the case... might only end up with a few sloppy inches here depending on what happens later with the band to the west.

daddylonglegs Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 true dat..i'm on the north side of the city, so it will be close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 DLL - You'll be close to the dry slot for sure. Might end up being a situation where it's snowing like mad on one end of the city, but just flurries on the other. Few showers here now, but really just foggy. Cold front just about to pass through.

daddylonglegs Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 ok...so its still coming down hard....no dry slot here for the time being..if it comes this far north at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iastfan112 Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Up to 9 inches with light snow continuing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Concrete mixer out there...shoveled the driveway...in spots about 2 inches of pure slop...extremely heavy. Its going to be a back breaker in the morning because I don't think the dry slot is getting this far north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Wow. Did you take any pics? Nope, but wish I had now I guess. The road goes under water a few times a year when we get a lot of rain, so didn't think it was all too exciting. This was the first time I had to walk out into it though, and didn't realize how deep the water actually is. 1.89" the final storm total. May get a few flurries tomorrow, but this storm is pretty much done here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyclone77 Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Snowing lightly out there. Not sticking, and won't last long, but it's nice to see after all that cold rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daddylonglegs Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 You need more precip Ended up with 2.5 inches of slop... but i think that deformation band will be through here later...and that may add a few more inches.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisconsinwx Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Fond du Lac looks like it's getting some pretty heavy snow now. It will be a tease watching the defo zone remains just miss to the NW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtlehurricane Posted March 11, 2013 Author Share Posted March 11, 2013 Fond du Lac looks like it's getting some pretty heavy snow now. It will be a tease watching the defo zone remains just miss to the NW. Madison is getting the southern part of that band, decent light snow, 1.25 mile visibility at MSN.

wisconsinwx Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 In a nice band of light to moderate snow now, doubt it will accumulate to more than a dusting due to temps just above freezing, but nice flake size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
