Last time I remember southern Minnesota getting over 14'' was May 2013. Aren’t you in Mankato? I thought they did well with one of the February 2019 storms. Either way it’s looking good for both our areas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherbo Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 Snow just starting to arrive imby. Expecting a foot tonight and 4-6" tomorrow. Should see some really nice rates later on so I'll be up late. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrdIowPitMsp Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 What an evening it has been, especially here on the southern half of the metro. Sitting at around 9.5” imby so we should break double digits. Much more impressive there are many reports of 15”+ in the southern suburbs where the heaviest banding from earlier this evening stalled. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madwx Posted December 11, 2021 Author Share Posted December 11, 2021 dusting here this morning. about .2" with maybe a half hour of light snow remaining. this is tied for the biggest event of the winter here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye_wx Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 We received only a dusting in Cedar Rapids, so still no measurable snow this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 Looks like a foot has fallen here so far with a couple more inches likely. Ratios ended up being closer to 8:1 instead of the forecasted 11:1. Storm has not disappointed tho... the snow was so heavy and wet it sounded like rain hitting the windows overnight. There's 24-27" otg. looking out the front door into my yard facing north. I'll snap some more pics when I wake up fully. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrdIowPitMsp Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 What a storm. 11.8” officially imby and the airport. Crazy this will likely be our biggest storm of the year with the rest of the sub in winter-less hell and record warmth on the way. Southern suburbs (5-10 south of me) received 15-18” under that stalled heavy band while northern suburbs where my in-laws live received 3-8” for a big spread south to north across the metro. Ratios ended up around 16-1 so a very light easy to shovel snow. I bought a new 2021 Toyota 4Runner TRD off-road this summer and decided Friday evening was the perfect time to test the 4WD system and drive 40 miles SE for some powder skiing. Well worth it. Things are very wintry around here with deep snowcover, at least for another couple days….. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
