  1. Peoria looking like the better spot to be for the first wave. Northern IL is trending towards a dog turd duster on the globals.
  2. Yeah the snowpack took a surprisingly big hit. Nice squalls moving in from the north. Ready 2 squall.
  3. It's 46 degrees warmer right now than it was two nights ago at this time. 41 degrees right now vs -5 Sunday evening.
  4. I'm loving this pattern. Been years it seems since we've seen clippers parading like this. Also, the Pac hybrids are nice as well if we can get more of them. Seems like there's a better chance for a widespread score compared to a big cutter with widespread p-type/dry slot concerns.
  5. Expecting some wind driven sprinkles here, followed by a few passing snow showers late tonight. Biggest story here will be 40+mph winds later tonight/tomorrow.
  6. -6 here before temps rose towards daybreak. The weekend snow brought us to 16.1" already for the season. As they say in baseball, keep the line moving.
  7. Fresh snow working it's magic. Already at -5 here.
  8. MLI with 2.2", DVN had 3.2". Ended up with 3.8" here. Luckily the freezing rain didn't last too long.
  9. Freezing rain is now mixing in here as well. 1-3" call for QC was money.
  10. Thinking we may have a hard time attaining the 3" mark. Precip upstream is looking pretty showery, and we just aren't getting the high rate/low vis type stuff that they got out in Iowa all day. Storm is definitely on the decline. Still a nice lil' refresher though.
  11. Saw that. Gonna be a close call here, but thinking we should stay all snow. Flake size has increased finally with enhanced radar returns moving in now. May really see it ramp up in intensity in the next hour or so. Up to about an inch now.
  12. Took awhile but it's pouring pretty nicely now, smallish flakes. Looks like a half inch or so.
  13. A few tenths so far here after 2 hours. Been extremely light so far, but better radar returns are incoming.
  14. Top down saturation complete. Pixie dust has commenced here.
  15. Our county as well. Point has 4.8" here, but some 6" amounts in the north part of the county. Models generally average 0.25-0.35" here. Looking like a solid 3"er with maybe a bit more if ratios play ball.
  16. Always nice to have the windshield wiper effect on the models 12hrs before the first flakes.
  17. Wagons north on the 00z guidance. Also seem to be much drier than previous model cycles for the northwestern half of Iowa. The Des Moines office are probably pulling their hair out this evening. I'd probably favor a 1-3" call for the QC. 2-4" up along the 20 corridor in Iowa.
  18. DVN playing this one conservative after getting burned by the last system when they called for 12-15". Most areas ended up 8-12". No advisory east of the MS River.
  19. Impressive. Was expecting to crash towards -10 in the evening, but the southerlies arrived a few hours ahead of what models had been showing. Only made it down to +1.
  20. Just like summer, looking forward to some Iowa sloppy seconds Sat night/Sunday. 1-2" refresher looking likely. Euro likely overdoing amounts in the 48-72hr ranger per usual.
  21. -5 this morning here. First subzero of the season. EDIT: Made it down to -6 later on..
  22. Kind of a shame to see that nice weekend clipper quickly crap the bed as it enters Iowa. Hopefully the models are too quick to crap it.
