  1. Looks like the Des Moines office really blew it with this system. Widespread 4-6" of snow through much of central IA with no headlines. Ouch.
  2. Tonight's system looks like it will be a mixed-bag of rain/white rain/wet snow with fairly light snow accumulations for the QCA. Looking like a dabber.
  3. Finished with 4.0" here, easily the best/most enjoyable event of the winter. DVN finished with 4.5", MLI had 2.5".
  4. 3.5" here with some very light snow still falling. Lots of moisture in the snow but large flake size definitely helped ratios.
  5. Snow globe action. Trees are caked up and limbs are getting pretty saggy.
  6. It will be once we pass over 3.2", which should be shortly.
  7. We had rates that were probably pushing 2" per hour there for awhile. Already up over 3". Pretty impressive/efficient snowfall late this afternoon.
  8. Easily the heaviest snowfall intensity of the season the past half hour. Pouring large/wet fatties. A bit over 2" of very dense snowfall so far and adding up quickly.
  9. Feeling a little more confident out this way. Gonna bump my 1-3" call up to 3-4" for here/QC, with a good chance this beats our seasonal best snowfall so far (3.2"). Some decent banding may help ratios fight off the slightly warmer ground/marginal temps. It'll be nice to see a daytime snowfall even though it may cut into amounts a bit. Seems like many events this season exclusively happened in the dark of night.
  10. I'll be optimistic and go with 1-3" of slop for here/QC. DVN's northwest/northern portion will dominate again.
  11. A rainer or a sloppy slusher for the QCA points south. Gotta ride seasonal trends.
  12. Picked up 0.11" from last evening's T-showers. MLI now nearly 18" below snowfall seasonal average. ORD a bit over 15" down.
  13. Several rumbles of thunder this evening here.
  14. Nice thundersnow action in southwest MN this afternoon.
  15. Winter isn't done here, we have widespread frost this morning. If you squint your eyes it almost looks like a dusting of snow.
  16. Went to the first few pages of this sub and did a little spot reading. Brings back a lot of memories seeing so many names that we don't see anymore. Also the model images from 12+ years ago kind of cool go see too.
  17. New Euro is now shifting the late week snows up towards MSP. Would guess the following storm will target southern/eastern MI.
  18. Kind of an interesting image here. If you look closely you can see sort of a U-shaped boundary between heavier snowpack and lower snowpack. I remember seeing a feature move south on radar yesterday, almost looked like an outflow boundary moving south against the northward moving precip at the time. It was the transition from rain to snow, where sort of a cold pool had made it down and had changed the precip over to all snow at the surface. Looks like it made it down to about where those arrows are.
  19. This is gonna be a good pick up the 10 million sticks that came down during the winter kind of weekend here. Looks like near 50 today and tomorrow, and well into the 60s on Monday.
  20. Nice cutoff there on the northwest side. Looks like Peoria just barely missed out.
  21. Euro back to trolling the poor souls of northern IL/southeast IA.
  22. Solid overcast out this way today. Winds got a little frisky in the afternoon, gusting to about 25mph. Top 10 event.
