cyclone77 Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 new obs should be in soon but it could be still fighting some dry air. Probably. We're up to 15dBZ overhead here now, and most people wouldn't even realize it's snowing it's so light. Not even enough to notice on the sidewalk yet.

dilly84 Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 Sickening looking at the radar for people over here lol. The way it's coming together looks so much like the radar on pd2, just a shame its not anywhere near close to the same end result lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Global_Warmer Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 I don't want to do this..but I have to go with 3-5 inches for the stl metro. St. Charles St. Louis, Monroe, and St. Clair counties. to many potential factors that can raise the bar. I think some places could hit 6-8 in the STL area that get under a mesoband or even some convection. Both Hi-res models have over .30 QPF some places upwards of .40. the in house WRF in stl also has .30 qpf. with that said will go with .20 to .30 but think that wil get everyone in the metro with 3 inches..and possibly upwards of 5. ratios in the 13/15-1 range as this goes on.

hawkeye_wx Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 Another good band has moved over CR and it's snowing fairly hard. The flakes a bit larger than earlier. I just quickly reached out onto the deck and measure almost 1.5 inches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyclone77 Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 Snow intensity has ramped up pretty good over the last 15 minutes. Flake size is still pretty small, but it's pouring down pretty good out there. Already whitened up the streets and sidewalks pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 Hmm.... there is a new snow report of 1.7 inches from a spotter described as "2 W Cedar Rapids". That is exactly what my location is. It would really suck if there is a new spotter right on top of me. What are the odds the third spotter report in the entire state, at 1am, has my exact same location? This latest band of good snow moved through quickly. It has tapered off quite a bit as we are now on the southern edge of the snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This latest band of good snow moved through quickly. It has tapered off quite a bit as we are now on the southern edge of the snow. The more spotters the better right? May complicate things a bit though if you have slightly different measuring methods. Latest (6z) RUC cranks out over a half inch of QPF just northwest of the QC by noon. Shows about 0.4" here. I'm still thinking 4" here, but if we can get this band to stall on us for awhile then maybe we can sneak in some higher totals. I guess we'll see how it goes lol.

Justin Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 It was snowing very, very heavily here earlier, but has really tapered off since that time. Looking at the radar we may be in a bit of trouble here reaching the higher end amounts. Looks to me like just North and Northwest of the Quad Cities will make out quite well... pretty horrific looking area moving in now of weak/no returns.

Sidewinder Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 Well if it pans out, this month should at least rank third in the most snow in December for Indy. Our forecast went from 1-4" to 4-5". The GFS didn't do so bad with this three days ago, it just isn't going to be the 8-14" gusher we'd all hoped for.

Honestly having snow is nice but I like storms more, not necessarily having snow on the ground. Pict or it didn't happen I will try to get a pic of some of the piles tomorrow. Probably about 3.5" tonite, big gradients though as a pretty heavy band developed and bisected the metro early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never been big on tracking anything other than winter events. Was the biggest thing that kept me from going and getting a Met degree. Who wants to hire someone only interested in winter weather. I can only think of one person who's main focus is winter. Kocin. So I just didn't figure it'd be my best option to go to school to be a met lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there is a whole field that is dedicated to winter weather; transportation road weather industry relies on road weather forecasting and conditions in winter...whether it is private weather forecasting or state agencies like DOT's, or some combo of both.

Yea but what to do in the summer time lol.. Idk.. I'm just glad this block will be gone. It goes away and a major storm already in the horizon. Heavy rain with some decent icing/snow on the back side lol. Could be a fun one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 The overnight hours evolved as I expected... the good band of snow around midnight lifted northeast and left a large part of east-central and southeast Iowa with little to no snow the rest of the night. That's just the way this month has gone. My total was about 1.7 inches when I went to bed and it's still only 2.1 inches. There is a band of heavy snow currently sinking southeast across the area. The snow rate must be high because just north of Cedar Rapids there are reports of 6 inches. The heavy band is actually right on top of me now, but there is hardly a flurry falling.

baroclinic_instability Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 I was so transfixed with the potential EC crippling HECS Nor'easter, I haven't been keeping up with weather in our region. Nice event shaping up across parts of IA. Hopefully a primer to armageddon for New Years. Drink up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
