Very nice. Up to 20" for the season. That's doing great considering how this season has gone so far.
-
Feels like I'm in LAF on 2/1/11. Raging sleet shower right now hammering the east windows.
-
Yeah it did. It had been consistently holding it just south of here until 9-10pm, but it did correct northward with yesterday's runs. HRRR seemed to do real well here with the timing of the changeover, with the Euro/RGEM right there as well. I stopped looking at the NAM after it was being so pessimistic run to run lol.
-
Interesting special weather statement from DVN a shot while ago.
-
Mostly freezing rain with a few pingers now here. Went out and removed the snow before it became encased in a crusty layer. Picked up 4.5" snow.
-
Down to light snow now here, and MLI has shifted over to freezing rain. Would have loved for it to last longer, but that was a very nice thumping over the past few hours.
-
Impressive amount of lightning showing up. Wow.
-
Very low vis in heavy snow atm. Looks like a good 3-4" down already. Blowing around more than I thought it would.
-
I'm assuming a lot of that is sleet along the southeast side of that. Nice to see but no way we're getting 10" of snow.
-
New RGEM brings sleet in here/QC 3hrs earlier than previous runs. I'm sticking with my previous call even though it might go down in flames lol.
-
Feeling pretty good about a quick 5-6" before quick shift to sleet. HRRR drops 1.5" precip so could get quite the sleet storm tomorrow eve before changing to frz rain/rain.
-
Thanks for deflating my balloon lol. I'm gonna fine tune my earlier 3-6" call to 5-6".
-
One of the short-term models that has a tendency to be one of the leaders in calling out stronger than expected WAA is the RGEM. It's been consistently further southeast of some other guidance for numerous runs so I'm going to take that as a good sign.
-
HRRR has the party over by 6pm in the QC as sleet moves in. Luckily should snow fairly heavily for several hrs before that happens. Would def like to be further nw where there's a better shot at warning criteria. If we can delay WAA long enough still can't rule it out here though.
-
I'm riding the 2.5km RGEM lol. In all seriousness I'll just go with a general 3-6" for here/QC in agreement with DVN. Hawkeye and crew should clean up again with 8"+ looking quite likely.
-
Picked up 0.7" of snow. Nice to see it look white out there finally.
-
Hit 50 in MLI earlier this afternoon, 47 here. Light snow falling now and back down to 31.
-
This evening's snows crap the bed right at the Mississippi River coming out of Iowa. Seasonal trends won't be denied lol. Cedar Rapids has a shot to break the 1ft mark for the season.
-
I see your Clint Black and raise you Milli Vanilli. In all seriousness, the wide array of changes is going to make each model cycle exciting to watch come in over coming days.
-
It's now been over a month (November 24th) since our heaviest snowfall so far (0.5"). Hopefully we can break the 1" threshold sometime in January.
-
It made me want to run down the street yelling merry Christmas everyone like Jimmy Stewart.
-
Had some mood flakes blowing around under the street lights a little while ago. Nice touch for xmas eve night.

Winter 2020-21 Medium/Long Range Discussion

Because when things are this bad futility potential is the only glimmer of excitement lol. -
Noon yesterday at MLI was at 60 degrees. Today at noon it's 13 with a wind chill of -4.
-
Hopefully we can get some kind of front-end action. Either way I hope we can get a little thunder at least.
