    Finished with 1.9".

    Still a nice snow globe effect out there, as nice dendrites slowly drift down. Looks like about an inch and a half, mostly on grassy/elevated surfaces. Snow is also sticking to the trees, etc. May make a run at 2". Click pic for bigger image. Quick cell pics.

    That's very impressive. Gotta love these compact little vorts. Looks like about a half inch or so, so far. It's only sticking on grassy/elevated surfaces. Nice little snow globe action.

    Very nice dendrites with the enhanced band that just passed through. Can def see how those areas in north IA achieved those amounts.
  5. cyclone77
    Light snow has begun here.
  6. cyclone77
    Yeah wouldn't surprise me given the focused little bands. The key will be to get underneath one for a decent length of time lol.
  7. cyclone77
    Looks like the snow arrived there in time to give you a little daytime snow. Looks like an inch or so is possible here.

    I'm surprised we haven't started a thread for this event. Looks like a real barn burner. EDIT: Speaking of which, we've only had 4 event threads so far and we're now into January LMAO!!

    Everyday I come home from work and check the board hoping something interesting has popped up. Been like groundhog day the past month+. One of these days maybe there'll be something. Sheeesh, what a benign pattern we're stuck in.

    Looks like the next round of light snow will arrive after midnight Fri night, and be out of here by daybreak. The season of the nocturnal nickel and dimers continues. This season def sucks ass, but I guess that's to be expected after such a great season last year.

    Feb will be rockin!
  12. cyclone77
    A day earlier and this would make for a great birthday present lol.
  13. cyclone77
    Picked up 0.2" of snow overnight.

    The extreme warmth in Feb 2017 to me was as impressive, if not more impressive than Morch for this area. At MLI 4 days in a row of 70+, with 5 out of 6 days in a row of 70+. 7 days that month of 69+ degrees. A new all-time record high for the month was set as well as it hit 74 on the 19th. There were 7 new record highs that month.

    Getting a little frizzle atm. Pretty blustery out there today. Looks like a little wave of light snow possible after midnight for a potential dusting. The best way to watch it snow this season...

    Looking forward to the brief round of flurries tomorrow evening, after sunset.

    Pretty spring-like looking sky this afternoon with stratocumulus slowly building up into more convectivy looking towers. Band of low-topped convection developed nearly on top of us in the past hour. Pretty entertaining little evolution.
  18. cyclone77
    Picked up 1.62" yesterday/early this morning. Worked out well as it looks like the next wave will miss east later today/tonight.
  19. cyclone77
    Looks like the main slug of wraparound snows will come Mon night. Hopefully we'll get to see snow fall during the daytime sometime before April.
  20. cyclone77
    Yeah came down nicely this morning. Picked up just under an inch. Pretty foggy out there now.
  21. cyclone77
    The secondary wave on the new 3km NAM looks pretty sweet. Impressive area of heavy snow up in Wisconsin with that by the end of the run. Wish the wave would deepen about 12hrs earlier though so northern IL would get in on that lol.

    You guys have already done a good job pointing out all the stuff from this year/this decade. The most notable thing this year for me was the incredible cold that hit in January. We've had some very stout arctic air masses in the past 10 years, but that one was the harshest, most impressive one I've ever been through. MLI hit -33, and just up the river at Sterling they hit -35. And of course the wind chills that were down in the -50s the night before that.
  23. cyclone77
    Big slap in the face this afternoon with the heavy overcast that rolled in, and temps that dropped into the 30s. Not that cold obviously, but compared to the past several days it was pretty chilly. MLI has had 5 days in a row of 50+.
  24. cyclone77
    It's just after midnight but the temp is still warm enough that the record high at MLI for today is already tied at 56. Cool front will pass and knock temps back later this morning, so another 60+ day is out of the question.
  25. cyclone77
    MLI hit 62 today for the 2nd 60+ day in a row. Incredible 2-day stretch for the holidays. Even this evening it was nice to be outside as temps are still holding in the 50s.
