  1. HRRR and RAP both give you guys another 0.5" of precip through tomorrow, which should be a good 6-7" easily. Cedar Rapids will not be denied this winter, we all know that lol.
  2. Small flakes now that we're back to light snow, but under the enhanced band that came through flake size was quite nice. Snow rates outside the enhanced bands are pretty poor. This is gonna be a long duration thing, so it's gonna take all night to build up amounts to what we expect/hope. Haven't measured, but looks like a good half inch to inch so far but there's lots of blowing making it hard to tell by glancing out the window.
  3. Pixie dust fest here the past hour or so with maybe a tenth down. Better returns moving in from the south in the next hour will help.
  4. Was just across the river in Le Claire and it was already spitting a few flakes there.
  5. Maybe the Saturday-Sunday system can get Des Moines up over 50" lol. When you're hot you're hawt.
  6. Yeah I think they average somewhere in the 30s. IIRC they've had some pretty crappy winters in the past decade so I guess they were due.
  7. With Des Moines already at 29" of snow for the season, they're looking to exceed 40" by tomorrow as a foot of snow there is looking like a slam dunk. Amazing winter for them.
  8. Looks like the snow won't get going until near sunset unfortunately. Was hoping to see some daytime snow. Still looking good for 6-8" if 12:1 LSR work out. If LSR end up less we'll be more in the 5-6" type range.
  9. It's starting to remind me of the never-ending spam calls about auto warranty expiring 4 times per day.
  10. New Euro actually trended a bit juicier for the QCA, dumping 0.6-0.7" of precip which would fluff up to 7-9".
  11. Yeah it's been great. I'm not a huge snow cover aficionado like Michigansnowfreak but it's been great having solid snow cover through the heart of the winter season.
  12. Final call for here/QC is 6-8" including what falls Wednesday. Nice to not have to worry about rain or ice mixing in for a change lol. Hopefully LM dumps on you guys up in Chi-town to make up for the misery up to this point this season.
  13. Looks like PW is around 12:1 LSR vs 15:1 LSR on WXB per my quick calculations. Will be interesting to see which one wins out.
  14. I know it's not possible, but would love it if we could see what the differences would have been with the full RAOB network for each particular run.
  15. We've seen models go too far in one direction in the past, only to correct back the other direction as we close in on the event. Definitely still time for the pendulum to swing back in the other direction.
  16. And that's on top of 2"+ that fell early this morning lol. Definitely been an Iowa/MN winter up to this point.
  17. NBM through 00z Tue. Nice radar representation along the I-80 corridor.
  18. We've had some ultra dogs over the past 10 years, so I'm good with it. Give me a 6"+ storm in a season and that's good enough for me to get my "fix" lol. Of course would love another 10"+ but those are much harder to come by.
  19. Was pretty confident in a 10" storm yesterday, still could happen but looking more like a 6-9" type storm. Still solid, and will be the best in a few seasons.
