    Final band did better than I thought, picked up 1.3 more inches bringing us to 2.5" for storm. Down to just very light now so prob about it. EDIT: MLI/DVN had 1.8/3.8 at 6pm. Both probably picked up a few tenths since before it shut off.

    Hopefully it tracks far enough north to get us into the warm sector for some 'vection. Don't need anymore 1-2" slushers.
  3. cyclone77
    DVN is sitting in the middle of the enhanced band and their vis is 2.5 miles, MLI at 1.5 miles. Definitely nice to look at though, just not very efficient accumulator.

    It's finally all snow, which is good lol. Nice snow globe action with large, slowly falling flakes. Looks nice but vis reduction/rates pretty meh. May make a run at 2" for total, but the band is pretty transient.

    Picked up 1.2" here. Have had quite a bit of sleet and freezing rain mixing in, and the heavier precip was pretty showery throughout the event. Should have stuck with my original forecast lol.

    Hello dry slot my old friend.
  7. cyclone77
    Yeah things have bumped back northwest a bit with this evening's runs. That's what I get for being optimistic lol. Guess I'll just go with 1-5". With how things have gone the past few seasons we'll probably gonna be on the low end of that. On the bright side we're not missing out on anything noteworthy. No big dogs for anyone this season, except up in MSP, or by a big lake.

    Seems like the mixing issues have bumped a little southeast today. Looking more like a 3-5" type of snow now.
  9. cyclone77
    Due to probable mixing issues along the southeast edge of the heavier snow band I'm gonna go with a first call of 1-3 for here/QC. Need a 75-100 mile bump southeast to get us into the heavier snows, but that's probably not gonna happen. Cedar Rapids to Dubuque, and Madison looking golden per usual.

    Trying to reel it in down this way

    Looks like the same corridor that just cashed in with this past system (CR to Dubuque/Madison) will be ground zero for the Thursday system. Areas just to the southeast will continue the screwage.

    Yeah fantastic day to be sure with full sun, light winds and temps in mid fiddies
  13. cyclone77
    This me about every day looking at the models coming in
  14. cyclone77
    Yeah, prob a miss northwest or a 1-3" slusher.
  15. cyclone77
    On Thursday the Euro has near 70 at LAF and only upper 20s in far northwest IL. Definitely a nice baroclinic zone with this system.
  16. cyclone77
    Oh cool, another miss northwest. Guess I'd rather have that then a near miss just southeast ala GHD3 last season.
  17. cyclone77
    Definitely a big jump in snowfall as you head north. Just in the DVN cwa MLI is at a lowly 11.8" while Dubuque is 28.4". Dubuque is right at normal, while MLI is now down 13.6 inches. I'm just happy that we're 0.2" ahead of MLI lol.

    Unless something better comes along in the next month or so, the 3.2" that fell back in the late January event will be the best event of the season. We'll see what happens but this has the possibility of being the wussiest winter I've seen in my 46 years.
  19. cyclone77
    Missed the accumulating snow by less than 5 miles. A few wet flakes mixed in a times both here and at work. Picked up 1.12" of rain. MLI might have passed us up in seasonal snowfall now. They were at 10.7", and had picked up 0.9" as of noon. Still stuck at 12.0" here.
  20. cyclone77
    Too far east here. The nose of IA looks like where that narrow band of snow falls now. May still get a period of wet snow later this morning but not expecting much if any accum from here points east. The western side of the QC may end up with some accumulations, gonna be close. Heavy rain pouring here. 0.57" so far and climbing quickly.
  21. cyclone77
    Next season 60 inches or bust.
  22. cyclone77
    I think what's making it worse is this is the 2nd one in a row well below average for snow. It'll all even out in the seasons to come but stacking two crappers back to back definitely sucks lol.
  23. cyclone77
    I'd guess 3-5" in the main swath with isolated higher amounts. You guys are probably gonna be pretty much in that. I'd put the spine of the band from Oskaloosa up to about Prairie du Chien. Looks like the best chance at 5+ will be further north towards Prairie du Chien and into southwest WI where the storm maxes out.
  24. cyclone77
    Looks like a solid rainer for the QC, probably 1-1.5". Think we'll see a burst of snow at the end Thu but good chance it's not measurable.
  25. cyclone77
    It's 51 here at nearly 1am. Not too shabby for early-mid Feb.
