    That reminds me, after Gustav in 2008 crossed Cuba it never got it's act together. Hoping the same for Ida although it's very unlikely.

    Well I'm certainly happy today wasn't a repeat of one year ago for Iowa. SE Wisconsin and northern Illinois not as fortunate. Milwaukee has over 100k customers without power.

    Talk about bad luck. Being out of state on vacation while your home webcam catches a tornado.

    So unless the 0z HRRR pulls a fast one (with a southward moving MCS), I'm not too worried about tomorrow. Who would have thought that we would get possible severe storms on the one year anniversary of the derecho?
  5. Natester
    Unrelated to the heat but the Independence, IA ASOS sensor went kaput on July 23. Wildly fluctuating temperature readings.
  6. Natester
    Wildfire smoke likely reason why temp was below forecast.

    Yeah, although I'm glad we didn't get any freezing rain since it was just barely above freezing right before it switched to snow.
  9. Natester
    Huge jump in accumulated snow totals via 10:1 ratio for here on the 0z HRRR. 0z HRRR says we get a foot but that is very unlikely.
  10. Natester
    First one to call in predicted total. Going to go with 5 inches here although there's a chance it'll bust low based on the HRRR runs but 5 inches total is realistic here.
  11. Natester
    12k NAM caved to the HRRR when it comes to extent of snow in Iowa. NAM3k similarly although it shows a couple hours of sleet in east central Iowa. Also of note that both of the NAMS really diminish the freezing rain threat in Iowa to almost zero. Not so in Illinois and Indiana.

    Glacier still holding strong or has the warmth took a toll on it?
  13. Natester
    At least we don't live in DC where it's known for it's infamous snow hole. Are there any places in the midwest/lakes region that's a snow hole?
  14. Natester
    You know, with long range showing prolonged arctic cold, this could very well give 1912 a run for it's money (12 days of highs at 9F or below). Not saying that it's going to happen but it might.

    Would be a good idea to have the faucet trickling so to prevent the pipes from freezing.
  16. Natester
    It appears that the ice has melted off of the power lines but not from the trees as the trees are snow covered.
  17. Natester
    Our power was flickering from between 4:45 PM and 5:10 PM and CR only got a tenth of an inch of ice.
  18. Natester
    Yeah, dry slot about to enter CR and thus ending the snow. Final call on snow totals here is 2 to 2.5 inches.
  19. Natester
    Did any of the ice on the trees from December 29, 2020 and New Years Day melt before today?
  20. Natester
    Can confirm. About 45 minutes behind schedule.
  21. Natester
    DVN radar back up.
  22. Natester
    Power flickered a few times in a span of 25 minutes. Made me uneasy but at least the flickering has stopped now.
  23. Natester
    DVN radar is down.
  24. Natester
    HRRR continues to insist that east central Iowa getting nearly 6 inches of snow.
  25. Natester
    Back porch is a skating rink. Did not dare set foot outside or else I'd slip and fall. Temp 32F.
