  1. Wasn't keeping stats back then, but I remember that winter being very benign for this area. Come to think of it, just like this POS winter lol.
  2. Days are already getting longer. Have gained about 15 mins back of sunset time. 8 weeks of met winter left, and then it's time to start looking towards spring. Let's hope something worthy of tracking shows up later this month, or in Feb.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Very nice dendrites with the enhanced band that just passed through. Can def see how those areas in north IA achieved those amounts.
  6. 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. Looks like the snow arrived there in time to give you a little daytime snow. Looks like an inch or so is possible here.
  8. 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!!
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. A day earlier and this would make for a great birthday present lol.
  12. Looks like a windy rainer this weekend instead of just a rainer. A few backside flurries would be nice.
  13. The updated (FV3) GFS is the Mitch Trubisky of forecast guidance. The Euro is Tom Brady. The GEM and ICON are Ryan Fitzpatrick and Tim Tebow.
  14. This will be a nice wash all the salt off the roads system.
  15. 12z GFS says congrats to the Iowa crew for the weekend system. Too bad it's the GFS beyond 36hrs..
  16. I'm getting a new yard stick in preparation for The Jan slam about to come.
  17. Looks like the next system of consequence will be next weekend. Looks like it may be a rainer for most of us, but at least it's something.
  18. 18z GFS has a nice hit for Hawkeye around the 270hr mark. Yeah it's about two weeks away, but that's about all there is to talk about lol.
  19. I guess from now on we'll just consider December an off month, and if something of note happens consider it a big win lol.
