  1. Mixing issues had been looking to stay just south of the QCA, but now it's looking like we'll be dealing with that to start. Think we'll very quickly go over to very heavy snow though with the heavy precip. Gonna ride my 6-8"+ call.
  2. The top layer from the most recent layer settled a bit, so down to about 10". Highest I can remember was somewhere around 20".
  3. DVN going with 7:1-10:1 LSR for the cwa which sound pretty solid. I will say that LSRs could be briefly much higher in the first enhanced band. Wouldn't be surprised to see large flakes with that add up very quickly. Gonna ride the 6-8" call but wouldn't be surprised if totals are more than that, especially a bit northeast of here.
  4. Think this system should be more enjoyable than the most recent one with what looks like very nice rates for a period. That should be fun.
  5. -5 this morning, finally the first subzero of the season both here and at MLI.
  6. Definitely like where I'm sitting even though there's a ways to go. This time next week I'll be out back building igloos.
  7. 00z Euro is actually wetter than the 12z for the DVN cwa. Would be another warning criteria event for at least a portion of the cwa.
  8. Pretty close to a foot of snow on the ground, with the bottom 4" a solid glacier with more snows on the way this weekend. About as deep winter as it gets around these parts.
  9. Just mood flakes off and on all day with no additional accum, so 6.3" is the final total.
  10. 6.3". Looks like deep winter out there for sure.
  11. Verbatim the Euro keeps us below freezing until at least Feb 3rd. With now 10" of snow pack (and counting) don't think we'll be seeing the grass again anytime soon. Last time the grass was visible was the morning of Dec 29th.
  12. So much for the 30" in southern IA eh? 4.5" here with snow picking up a bit again.
  13. Back down to light snow after several hours of steady moderate snow at times with very large flakes. Haven't measured in awhile but guessing over 4" now. HRRR/RAP show another 0.2" of precip by late tomorrow so should hopefully be able to squeeze a few more inches out by then, albeit a much much slower pace than what fell this evening.
  14. Think I'll just get ahead of the game and reserve a hotel in Des Moines for Saturday night lol. All kidding aside it'll be nice to have something to track again.
  15. Just under 4" and still ripping. Getting pretty lucky with this localized enhancement the past hour or two. Winds aren't really too gusty, so not all that much blowing/drifting snow unlike earlier.
  16. Snow has been real nice the past few hours. Looks like we should eclipse the 3" mark in the next hour as the dry slot reaches here. Gonna have to rally later tonight and tomorrow to get to that magical 6" mark though. EDIT: DVN just updated their map and lowered totals for the QCA to 3-6"
  17. The gaps between the bands have filled in out this way and the snow has been pretty steady for quite awhile now. Looks like maybe 2" or so.
  18. Snowflakes are surprisingly large considering how gusty the winds are. No granulation at all unless the flakes started out giant cottonballs aloft lol.
  19. As often as I can get away with Back to heavy snow with another enhanced band overhead.
