  1. Light rain/snow mix here at the moment.
  2. Models have bumped the main snow swath north in the DVN area for tonight/tomorrow. Looking more like a 1" type event for this area, and probably a DAB or DAB+ at MLI. Cedar Rapids area looks to be the jackpot in the DVN area per usual.
  3. We had teflon snow here today, non-stick. It didn't snow hard enough to overcome the wet/warm ground, so nothing measurable here, or at MLI and DVN. MLI's seasonal snowfall will remain at 6.7". Final rain total here of 1.12"
  4. Looking like 60s here Sunday and Monday, then 70s Tuesday and Wednesday.
  5. 0.93" storm total so far here. Dead calm under the surface low atm.
  6. 0.30" so far here, as the rain has been pretty light and showery. Looking like a good shot at an inch of wet slop tomorrow afternoon to go along with the 50mph winds.
  7. Two worthless DAB+ events this week will chip into the 3.1" buffer at MLI's futility chase. Kind of a shame but not surprising. Hopefully they both underperform like all other systems have this season. Biggest threat is Thu night/Fri, when 1.5-2" looks possible.
  8. Not in our sub, but pretty impressive conditions down in western TX/southeast NM. Temps near 80, with dews in the -10s producing humidity values of 2% in several locations. Also 60-70mph winds whipping up a nice dust storm.
  9. So March and probably April is doing what it's supposed to do. Why can't we get Dec-Feb to do the same? lol
  10. Looking like another day with 50+mph winds on Wednesday behind the departing storm system.
  11. Almost identical actually( MLI & DVN), both are 22 miles away as the crow flies. Temp wise this area is more similar to MLI as both here and at MLI are in the Rock River valley.
  12. The late afternoon sky had a brownish haze from all the lofted dirt from the high winds out west. Had a nice period of 50-55mph winds around these parts as well. Surprised to see a few trees species have swollen buds from the past few days of 50s and 60s. Guess the sap must already be flowing upward despite the bitter cold last week.
  13. Likely overdoing everything per usual. Cut the excitement by about 30-50% and there's the final solution if seasonal trends persist. Early guess for here is a nice soaker followed by a few wet flakes.
  14. MLI now 2 feet of snow below normal. Futility record getting more and more probable.
  15. Looking forward to the first thunder of the year next Tuesday.
  16. Was hoping that would make it here but it's crapping the bed on approach. First Iowa sloppy seconds of the year, check.
  17. Made it to 50 here, MLI hit 51. DVN has 52 in the point for tomorrow and Tue. Will bust low pretty badly.
  18. Temps overachieving again as the last of the snow melts away. Should make a run at 50 today, and it now looks like 60 is attainable both tomorrow and Tuesday. Probably in the 60s on Friday. So long POS winter.
  19. Temps overachieved here today, made it to 35. 50s Monday and maybe pushing 60 Tue and Wed.
  20. Today's -4 here was our 7th subzero day of the month. Had 6 days in January, so 13 total for the season. Coldest was -14 back in January.
  21. One more below zero day tomorrow, then sayonara to all this arctic BS. Looking forward to the 50s next week. Zero snow in sight the next 10 days.
  22. High clouds never cleared the area and cut into max cooling potential a bit. Still managed to get down to -12 so far. Looking like a nice streak of 50s starting Monday next week. May even make a run at 60 Wednesday. Should take care of this 2-3" snowpack very quickly. Thinking we have a good chance at overachieving temps as we head into March with such a widespread dry landscape. Hopefully 70s are less than a month away.
  23. Temps overachieved here this morning with -7. Good chance we make a run at -15 tonight for the coldest night of the season. Coldest so far was -14 back on Jan 21st.
