Today's big warmup unfortunately melted a few inches of snow, but it made it possible to finally get all the thick ice off the streets, driveways, and sidewalks.  That stuff sucked.

Impressive warm up today.  MLI made it to 50.  It's not much, but the slightly higher sun angle does seem to make a difference when you're out in on a day like today.  Felt great.  Temps have crashed over 30 degrees since though lol.

Update #3... A foot down and it's pound town.

2' already west of here around Winona..   After today's snow, I will have had nearly 60" the past 2 weeks with 40" of that falling since Tuesday.  UNCLE!

Where the heck is Will?

How in the hell do you even begin to clear a path to get out?

Haha!  Well, I have an awesome 52" ride behind industrial type blower that throws the snow 30-40' into the woods, so I can keep the drive open fairly well... Plus I have a blade on my other quad.  I'll admit, things do seem to be closing in tho.  The back deck and patio all have over 3' on them and were clear a week ago.  Hard to keep up.

Everything hanging in the tree is at least 8 foot off the ground.

The 12z euro has really amped up the Wednesday midwest storm.  Of course, it's dropping another several+ inches across much of Iowa.  It is an epic period for Iowa snow geeks(unless you live in Sioux City).  The only thing that is lacking is real biggie storms.

Expand  

Epic enough I've already kinda forgotten getting locally screwed by the last storm. I still picked up 4.5" which is respectable all in all. Looks like a 3-6" event tomorrow night and another probable 3-6" event in the middle of next week.

Winding down to lighter, more showery snow.  When I went to bed last night, it was snowing with 1-2" in the forecast and then another inch today before noon.  Woke up at 5 and was like wtf!  Finished with an average of 13", maybe another couple inches overnight (20-30" fell just west).  Season total is somewhere between 180-190".  I quit counting weeks ago.

Well, DTX pretty much much sums it up for much of the sub forum......talk about a rock and hard spot, lol. 

Relentless pattern of anticyclonic wave breaking over the NPAC & CWB
over the NATL domain will continue for the duration of the extended
period courtesy of a retracted Pacific jet and active STJ extending
across the USA. This will, at least, result in stagnation of the
current pattern but will more likely favor some degree of longwave
amplification accompanied by a tendency for retrogression of the
mean storm track when energy occasionally ejects from the western US
trough. The forecast is therefore one that migrates toward
increasingly mild outcomes with time. The best chances for snow will
require suppression from the polar jet which will in turn limit
amplification potential and subsequent impact potential while deeper
cyclones will be far more likely to track west of the area and bring
snow-mix-ra transitions. The first manifestations of this tendency
are Sunday`s suppressed low-impact snow potential (discussed above)
followed by 12z NWP depictions of a warmer STJ-influenced system
lifting west of the CWA mid-week next week.

Possibly WI/N. IL, too. Things sure have turned around after the paltry December/early January. hawkeye_wx said it well though, the would-be big dogs have underperformed somewhat (at least for MBY) and that's really what I'm here for.

It is good for Iowa, Minnesota, Northern WI/MI. With some luck maybe down to Chicago but the problem is you have the low go north and then a whoosh of cold air before warmth and low going north. A lot like the pattern in December/early January.

This is fine by me though, if it isn't going to be a big storm then go north and help setup that clash of air masses for spring.

We have a great subforum here, and whenever I glance at one of the other subforums, it only reinforces that fact. However it's pretty clear that what's good for some in the subforum will not be good for others. I distinctly remember all these years when we were getting relentless snow cyclone was getting scraps, but this Winter it's the opposite. Everything is hitting Iowa and western Illinois while we get less.
