This is quite a storm here. Especially seeing as we probably only have 4-5” of new snow once this is all said and done. Obs/webcams/road conditions suggest blizzard criteria will easily be met across northwestern portions of DVN’s CWA. That, combined with their forecast of only 1-2” for IC and 2-3” for CR, they really dropped the ball with this one. As much as I hate to say it.

This was their story immediately before that, as of 10pm last night. 

While I had not yet bought into the jackpot totals on some models, no models were predicting anything less than 3" in Cedar Rapids.  At the time, my point forecast said 1-3", which didn't really make sense.

This band of snow in Indiana right now has no stations reporting snow under the band-- only stations to the southwest are reporting snow. Maybe it is just a timing thing, or maybe there is significant virga?

Several stations in MI and IN are now report SN- and SN.
