Jonbo Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 All things considered, models did well handling the sharp gradient for Iowa. At least that overnight pivot of snow stayed enough to cover the slop. On a side note, MSP traffic nightmare today it seems, when I glanced at the city on Google Maps.

Geos Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Saw like 5 wet snowflakes this morning, literally. Watched a loop of what the low did last night and once it got east of Des Moines a new primary low formed near South Bend and took off to the NE. The low was very broad, so that map track below; in black, is a general track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nelson Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Snowfall total graph from ARX 18Z GFS on Monday was pretty spot on with placement of the band overall. Maybe a little SE in some areas in terms of the heavier snows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 The early morning piece of energy dumped some heavy snow from central to northeast Iowa(2-4 inches), but only dropped another half inch here. My storm total is 1.4 inches. This has really been a northern Iowa winter. The Waterloo area has received 37 inches of snow so far. I have received only 15.8 inches.

cyclone77 Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 At work today there was a semi that was docking and was completely caked in snow on one side. Kind of weird seeing that with no other snow around anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TugHillMatt Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Anyone have UP totals? The system was severely robbed of moisture from the lame severe the south. Who knows...What we do know is that they put the rulers out in October, and they find them again in May... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchaumburgStormer Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 So this puts us at what, 3 storms of any significant magnitude that have hit the sub this winter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
