    Snowing much better now with this 15+ DBZ band. Flakes are still small, but not pixies anymore. We'd been under 6-12 DBZ returns the entire time up until recently.

    It's been snowing since noon and we have maybe 0.3" lol. A buddy down in Galva said it's snowing pretty good there, so the rates are prob a lot better in the enhanced bands. We've been sort of stuck in a mini-screw zone the whole time as well which doesn't help.

    Lol @ the WxBell Euro kuchera. 50.3" near the IA/MO border.

    Map is low-balling it here. Have a good 12-13" otg. Yeah the lengthy streak is pretty impressive, with no end in sight. Got down to -4 this morning.

    Pixie dust with a fairly bright sky, dusting so far. Has the look of a DAB+ type event. Perhaps flake quality vastly improves in the more enhanced bands, like down by Galesburg atm.

    Pretty poor run to run continuity by some of the guidance with this little wave. 3km NAM went from about 0.17" to 0.04" of precip for the QCA, which would be a substantial difference with 20:1+ LSR snowfall lol. I think a general 1-3" is the safest call, but 4" of fluff can't be ruled out if the "wetter" runs that have showed up from time to time are correct.

    Yeah looks like a nice 2-3" refesher for this area. #buildtheglacier

    They pulled the plows here in this part of Whiteside County earlier this evening as they just couldn't keep up with the redrifting of snow. The road here is currently drifted shut, with a good 2ft of snow all the way across the road from the open field just to the north. Hopefully the plows are back out by early morning.

    Respect the block.

    The final band added another inch to bring us up close to 4" for the event. Not bad considering we "wasted" 0.31" on rain earlier this morning. MLI has 0.69" total precip for the day. Back end of the snow is almost here.

    It looks like a legit blizzard with this last band. Enough snow had fallen, and with the heavy falling snow it's pretty gnarly out there. Hit a few spots on the way home where it was a complete whiteout, and the falling snow was quite light at the time. Can only imagine how bad it is right about now out there.
  12. cyclone77
    This band coming through right now looks pretty legit. Pretty low vis with lots of blowing snow and heavy snow falling as well. Picked up 0.31" rain this morning, and 2.8" of snow so far.
  13. cyclone77
    Looks like a good chunk of the DVN cwa has a legit shot at achieving 20"+ snow cover by next week. Euro shows 10-15" of snow to fall on an existing 10-15" of snow cover. The multi-layers of ice mixed in with the snowpack, and additional heavy cover to come means we won't be seeing the grass for quite a long time it would seem.

    Looks like a solid 2-4" refresher for the QCA after a short period of rain. The rain will make layer number 3 of ice within the snowpack lol.

    This crappy cell pic out the back window doesn't do it justice on how awesome it looked this morning. Very heavy rime icing after that very dense ground fog overnight. Really made for an enchanting drive into work this am lol.
  16. cyclone77
    Man there was so much new material to read when I got home it was almost overwhelming lol. Nice turnaround from earlier in the winter.
  17. cyclone77
    GEM would be a nice hit for the snow-starved southeast MI crew, and downstate IL as well.
  18. cyclone77
    Extremely thick shallow/ground fog the past few hours. Visibility is about as low as I've ever seen it at ground level, yet you can look up and see the stars. About 11" of glacier in place, with 2-4" refresher on the way Thu in time for the arctic intrusion. Should help to make the most of the cold air masses en route.

    I think the futility talk at the time is one way to make oneself feel a bit better about how horrible things are going at the time. Since if things continue on as bad at least there would be something to show for it at the end. I consider it a momentary coping method lol.

    Current snow depth and snow water equivalent. Over 2" of water in the snowpack over a pretty nice sized area.
  22. cyclone77
    Added another half inch yesterday afternoon/evening to bring the storm total up to 3.0". Not what we hoped for, but nice refresher (with another layer of ice in the snowpack to boot). DVN put out this map yesterday morning. Amounts in the CR are a little light, as the 6" reports came in after this map was made.
  23. cyclone77
    Going to pick up a new snow blower tomorrow so I've probably jinxed us into sub 3" snows the rest of the season lol.

    Spreadin' the wealth.

    Nice mood flakes atm. Biggest impact from this system here was the ice. Caused some sporadic power outages in the area, which I didn't expect.
