The 21z RAP has rain in western Iowa where every other model has 8" of snow.  I wish it was correct, but it's garbage.  The HRRR and RAP will correct southwestward tomorrow.

never forget the 16" in Cedar Rapids on the last storm!

this thread is the biggest train wreck I have ever seen

Yes but we aren't there so thats apples to oranges. Also most places west of the lakes still have a 6" storm a year. Except for cedar rapids, they are the San Diego of the midwest.

Spot on!

Barely an inch on the ground... and our largest storm is like 4". It isn't a great year.  Yes we have had more than others but it's still not great.

So climo for those west of the lakes?!

Its ass isn’t it!

UK/CMC/Euro all have a similar system at FH126. GFS has a clipper in the UP. 

Wasn't sure where to put this and there isn't really a place for it, but seeing as Stewart has been around since 1999 and is well known by those who read the discussions, I figured it was newsworthy enough to warrant its own (albeit small) thread.

please dont encourage them, they're better off in quarantine

Pattern after about day 7 or so looking mighty mediocre. Looks like a seasonably stagnant pattern dominated by pacific air.

Final total of 6.4"

Every call busting high

I busted low! Somehow. Not really sure how.

looking at 6” outside rn

I will say I cant really remember a time where the dry air on the north side of a system was overmodeled. Big dry slot coming in and eating at the southern side of snow band sure. But even early this morning higher res guidance had the dry air holding on far longer than it actually did.

This your report?

Yea haven't seen many others from the CR area so far so figured I'd throw mine in for once.

Just measured 5.5". Talk about a weenie band right up against the northward cut off of snow totals.

Just dumping. Maybe even 2”/hr right now. Visibility subjectively 1/8mi.

Parachutes right now in Hiawatha. Probably 1-1.5”/hr. 
 

getting extremely lucky with the placement of the northward edge of snow and this weenie band that’s been over Linn County basically all day.

It is snowing here currently. DAB+ so far. 
 

Should be just on the right side of the cut off? Time will tell. 
 

Flake size is very small at my location.

Now this, this would be quite something. My apt in IC gets 10" while my house in CR (where I am now) gets nothing.

Qpf mean has been pretty consistent for ORD. What has changed over time, has been less mixing issues and mostly all snow

I was joking 

idk about yall but im all in on the SREF

18z euro

This thing is falling apart hard on HRRR/RAP for what that's worth.

GEFS really dried up.
