Finished with 0.44". Not all that far away at DVN they only picked up 0.05". Pretty steep gradient along the northwest fringe, like so many winter events.

Miserable day to be sure lol. Been stuck in the 40s all day beneath a heavy overcast and steady light rain. Thought it would shut off mid-morning but it keeps hanging on. 0.41" so far.

With some work you could clone those out in Photoshop/Lightroom if you shot in raw format.

All I wanna know is if MLB is ever going to give money back to their fans for tickets already purchased? So far there have been no refunds for games that should have already been played. I guess the games are still technically postponed, which is ridiculous cause the games will not be made up, especially with fans in attendance. I have 3 tickets for Yankee game May 24 at Skankee Stadium. Was really looking forward to seeing a game there, even if it isn't the original house that Baby Ruth built. Anyway, what the MLB is pulling right now with their loyal fans in the midst of this financial crisis is enough for me to vow that I will never purchase one of their tickets ever again. I hope more do the same. **** them.

Great shots! Made it to 66 here today. The lawn has really taken off lately. Dandelions are in full bloom across the landscape. Most trees have leafed out, but a few of the stubborn/late leafers are still holding out, waiting for May I guess. Farmers have been out in area fields quite a bit the past week or so. Should start to see corn sprouting in another week or so in certain fields.

Damn. According to the Euro we are done with temps AOB freezing, assuming a real cold snap doesn't show up beyond 10 days. I think our average last freeze is around April 30th IRRC.

Temp shot up 10 degrees in the past hour, from 66 to 76. Pretty impressive late day surge.

Cloudy all day but we still made it into the 70s. Had a few brief showers this morning.

Didn't take long for the fresh snow to vanish today. From winter wonderland to spring in less than 6hrs.

DVN/MLI with 3.3"/4.6". A very nice event to finish out the season to be sure, but the saturating process definitely cut a good inch off the totals.

Picked up 3.4". Trees are caked up nicely.

Well after onset of precip is over 2hrs late and the HRRR is ratcheting down I definitely take notice lol. Hopefully the precip overperforms to make up for the late start.

Looks like the HRRR dropped a tenth of QPF off for you as well, as compared to the earlier runs. Hope the bleeding stops soon. DVN sounding shows a fairly significant dry layer that is taking awhile to saturate. Snow onset is now over 2hrs late for MLI. So much for bucking the trend for the last event. I guess the Mon night event overachieved, but would have liked to see a more substantial event overachieve. Guess we'll have to hope next season isn't so wussy in that regard.

New HRRR has dropped off 0.15" from earlier runs. Original 1-3" call likely would have been sufficient.

Top-down saturation is taking longer than expected. Models have been showing precip beginning here by 10 or so. Looks like at least another hour wait. A little nervous about 4" call for here. Temp still 39.

Already 5-6" reports along the IA/MO border, with quite a ways to go. A couple of 7" reports in the Omaha area as well, with snow still adding up.

Nice WAA look. Thundery showers feeding northeastward into the cold sector. free image hosting

22z RAP has bumped north a bit. Now has 0.5-0.6" for here/QC. Would love to see a last minute uptick to wipe away what happened most of the winter.

That's like a zombie snowman lolz

I'll go 4" here/DVN, and 5-5.5" for MLI. Pretty much right in line with their zone forecasts. Southern DVN cwa is gonna get smoked.

I'll go 12-15" for the Centerville/Bloomfield area of Iowa. Those areas are already getting some snow this morning.

Would love to see a bump north on models tomorrow. If we're gonna get one last snow, don't give me anymore of this 1-3" shit lol, let's go for the big dawg!

18z Euro did bump just a slight bit south. Looks like ground zero for heaviest could be around the Centerville/Ottumwa IA areas. LSRs could be pretty nice underneath the enhanced bands, and most of the snow will be falling at night as well. Wouldn't be surprised to see a footer down there.

Looks like a repeat of early this morning for here. Looks like 1-3" type of event, with the heaviest snows setting up in the southern portion of the DVN cwa.
