  1. Yesterday's rain knocked the snowpack down a good inch back to about 17". Already getting that mangy look. Should make a run at 40 today, and be into the 40s tomorrow. Mid-upper 40s look possible by the weekend.
  2. A bit over 32" here. Amounts go up quickly west of here, with MLI over 40", Cedar Rapids over 50". We average somewhere between 30-35" a season so we're already at average for the season.
  3. 0.19" of rain so far, but it's winding down more towards a drizzle now. Up to 34, first time above freezing since Feb 4th.
  4. Only a T of snow here today. 80/20 rain/snow right now. Worst bust of the season in a season with underperformers.
  5. I don't even know what to call the stuff that's coming down right now. It's too small to even call pixie dust. I guess frozen microbes would be a better term. Man this thing sure turned into a pos. Funny to think that I was thinking there may even be a chance at T-snow earlier lol. If we end up getting 1/3" out of this I'd consider it a win at this point.
  6. Yeah radar looks pretty terrible in southern IA/northern MO. That's what I get for being optimistic earlier lol. I'll enjoy my 1" of slop and bring on the thaw tomorrow I guess.
  7. Up to 30 degrees for the first time since Feb 4th.
  8. I'm actually kind of torn. Usually once snow starts to get that mangy look and it's getting to this time of the year I'm ready for it to get out as well. Since our snow cover streak will be a solid 2 months next week I'm kind of hoping it hangs around as long as it can. If models started showing a 65 degree torch with convection it'd be hard to root against that though lol.
  9. Omaha also down to 1/8 mile now. 4-5" reports coming out of that area already. Models generally have 0.2-0.3" of precip for here/QC. I think the kuchera ratios area actually too pessimistic along the I-80 corridor where in some cases they have it <10:1. Think there's a good chance at 12-14:1 if we get into some good banding, so 3-4" looks possible.
  10. Have a rainer next Sat, and then another one next Tue on the op Euro, with temps above freezing each day starting tomorrow. Safe to say the snow depth will be at it's peak later today/this evening, and then all downhill from there.
  11. Council Bluffs down to 1/8 mile in some pretty hefty snow. Several other sites at 1/4 mile.
  12. That sucks. They gotta be getting pretty desperate with such a prolonged deep snow cover.
  13. Made it down to 1 above. Bounced up to 29 this afternoon which felt pretty nice compared to late.
  14. Looks like clouds are gonna coc k block our chance at a 15th consecutive day of below zero. Persistent clouds continue to back-build along the I-80 corridor, and that's kept our temps up near 10 above. About 15 miles north where it's clear they are already below zero. 14 days in a row below zero is still very impressive for this area, especially in Feb.
  15. Looks like a quick hitting inch or two here followed by the thaw.
  16. Yeah it's been fantastic since late Dec. Only complaint if one was to get picky was not getting in on any of the big dogs (6.3" heaviest event), but like I said in another thread we had a couple huge snows in early and late 2018 so it's all good.
  17. Was just thinking that this morning, you can definitely tell a difference already. Made it to -7 here, -8 @ MLI.
  18. Down to -1, which makes day 14 in a row below zero. What a remarkable stretch. Hard to believe we didn't have a single subzero day until Jan 28th, and now we get this crazy stretch.
  19. It's at work, the health professionals are coming out to the facility to issue them so pretty easy on my end lol.
  20. Scheduled for my 1st vaccine Saturday.
  21. Today's 19 was the toastiest day since Feb 4th when we actually were above freezing for a bit (34).
  22. -4 here this morning, colder than everywhere around. 13th consecutive day below zero.
  23. Didn't really expect much from this but ended up with a half inch of fresh snow. Snowpack is all sparkly and shimmery again.
  24. Have 33/36/40/38 in the point for Sun-Wed. Let the thaw begin.
