Winds were and are ripping. Unfortunately nothing more than a cold rain here. Really hoping we can cash in on this upcoming pattern. I have 7.8” on the season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCNYILWX Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 +SN BLSN, visibility under 1/4 here, can tell because it's tough to see across the park from my backyard and that's no more than 1/8 mile away to houses on other side.

hawkeye_wx Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 I finished with 5.8". Cedar Rapids was bulls-eyed by the storm five days ago and it was again today. Cedar Rapids is the new Des Moines. This was essentially two storms. The first two inches fell with little wind and were wet and heavy. The next four inches were a blizzard. The driveways and sidewalks collected all the dry stuff that blew around. The shoveling job took three hours (mine and my neighbor's). The piles are rivaling February 2008 when over 2 ft of snow fell and we equaled the season record. My season total is up to 44.8". 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MIstorm97 Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 At 3.1" so far. Should be able to get another inch or so with the cold front. Best event of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Two other storm notes... - The Cedar Rapids airport reported a 51 mph gust. I don't remember hearing any local met mention 50 mph as a possibility. DVN did not issue a blizzard warning, but I believe we did meet the criteria. - Most models had the precip starting as rain here, but we got none. It began as some sleety snow and quickly changed to snow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nwohweather Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Yes. I posted a tweet earlier confirming the 5" in BG.Crazy that nothing was issued. 3-5” across Toledo seems to be the consensus. With not even an advisory... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackstraw Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 6 hours ago, KokomoWX said: It’s pouring snow in Kokomo. . I can attest. Had to go to Marion and it was some heavy heavy stuff. Texas flakes. WAA finally moved in but that 2 hour burst protected our snow pack. I still have 4 inches of concrete on the ground. Was very concerned we'd lose it before this cold spell and have a barren tundra freeze out. Me being a clipper fan, if we've got a nice layer of glacier on the ground and get into a clipper or quasi clipper pattern for 7-10 days that results in a decent winter for us. We get a few weeks of not having to worry about precip types. If they're hybrid clippers just means they're juicier and instead of 1-2 we might get 2-4. 3 of those in a week on top of a 4 or 5 inch glacier, with clippers being normally windy, usually leads to some really nice drifting. I've seen a clipper drop 4 inches on top of a 2 or 3 inch glacier with 40 mph gusts and temps in the teens create 3 foot drifts in spots. Horizontal avalanches is what I call them lol. I love clippers in our climo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cutlew Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Such an interesting storm, some of those vids and pics look pretty intense. I'm up in the northeast corner of WI for this one, no wind or insane rates like you guys farther south but we've gotten 8" since noon. Excited to see how it looks tomorrow morning, gonna be real pretty with all the evergreens coated in snow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frostfern Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Went up to 33 degrees with some drizzle in the past hour. Now a it's ripping snow again. Nice lake-enhanced burst moving inland. Roof dripping has stopped now so I assume the temperature is also dropping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
