cyclone77 Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Dubuque had about a half inch to an inch a very short time ago, I don't think they will be one of the jackpots. MSN may be though along with the MKE area, with that band moving north. Yeah, I just can't help myself joking around about Dubuque. Probably up around 2" here. Flake size is dramatically less than when we were in the main band. However, it's "pouring" small flakes out there at the moment. Another dry slot is on the way though.

Geos Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Not sure if the HRRR is trying to say a LES band is to focus in here or what. If I get 0.25" more moisture at 20:1 even, that's going to be like 5". Snowing like crazy again though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
