0.41" today, up to almost 3" for March now.
-
Appreciate it. Interestingly the observation location switched back and forth from the weather bureau in Davenport, to the QC airport (where MLI currently is) several times. Guessing that weather bureau ob of 2.5" is included in the seasonal total, but would have to see the rest of the data for that season from both locations. The current location of DVN is well north of the old weather bureau location (up in Mt. Joy Iowa) and didn't open until 1995.

The neighbor is outside taking down their snow fence this morning. Now we're going to get a blizzard in April.
-
Interesting possible omission of snowfall, but no way to know for sure. Luckily there's still a decent chance we can stay under 9.9" and beat existing questionable record anyway.
-
50-55mph winds from band of showers moving through the area just now. MLI hit 56mph, DVN hit 50mph. Starting to feel like we live on top of Mt. Washington lol.

Fall/Winter '24 Banter and Complaints Go Here
cyclone77 replied to IWXwx's topic in Lakes/Ohio Valley
Yeah, have about 10000 sticks down to pick up from the past 4 months. Been waiting for a calmer period but it seems to be very windy everyday. -
Snow total at MLI ended up being 0.8", 0.5" at DVN. MLI now up to 8.2" for the season, with 1.6" futility buffer remaining. Lawns are starting to green up now with the recent rains/warmth.
-
Up to 8 confirmed tors by LOT now.
-
DVN dropping the ball not reporting final results.
-
Kind of like garbage time points in the 4th quarter to the losing team in the NFL lol.
-
0.5" here. No report from MLI or DVN for some reason.
-
Rain mixing with wet snow here now. Picked up 0.79" of rain today.
-
Hailer #2 of the day. Fun little system.
-
The Euro definitely gets an F- for it's handling of the placement of the warm front today. We were supposed to make 70, but will likely stay in the 40s with a stiff northeast wind. This must be what it feels like to live along LM in May lol.
-
We're probably gonna have to start paying TX property taxes if we keep getting more of their dirt. Have a dirty looking sky overhead with a muddy rain shower at the moment. Nice arc of storms starting to evolve out over southeastern IA, and down into MO.
-
Nice hailer and a quick 0.45" from noisy elevated cell just now. Looks like the warm front will stall near or just south of here now, so 70s are out. 1-3" of snow tonight.
-
My prediction for new day 1
-
The latest guidance has bumped the best secondary deform a bit east/southeast, so hoping to escape with no more than an inch. Should be an entertaining day. 70s with a chance for severe, including a non-zero tornado risk. Then several hours later it will be snowing and sticking.
-
Some models show the tiniest deformation zone known to man streaking 2-3" of snow through this area tomorrow night, effectively ending the futility chase. How sad would that be? Either way will easily be the worst winter possible in anyone's lifetime, but it would have been nice to have the futility record to show for it lol.
-
MLI. DVN has only been around for 30 years or so, so doesn't have the historical records like MLI, which has been around since 1880 or something.

2025 Short Range Severe Weather Discussion
cyclone77 replied to Chicago Storm's topic in Lakes/Ohio Valley
Hi-res popping a beautiful string of pearls from the surface low southeastward in a nice arc. If moisture can pool enough in front of that triple point a few tors would definitely be possible. -
Haha yeah, it's not surprising. All winter when it was cold most of the time we couldn't buy a flake, and now every system comes out wants to snow on us lol. Luckily still a 2.4" cushion to work with, so if we can get past this storm with 2" or less still have a good shot.
-
Looking like 70s to snow in about 6-7 hours Wednesday/Wednesday night. Perhaps another 1-2".
-
MLI with just 0.6" overnight (only 0.2" at DVN as well), so still 2.4" of buffer left to achieve seasonal futility. Looks like we'll rebound to the 60s already tomorrow, and then back to back 70s for Tue/Wed. Gotta love March.
-
A bunch of angry robins cheepin' out back this morning, as the grass is covered with a pretty thick blanket of wet snow. Picked up 1.5" here. All of the paved areas are completely snow free. Don't think I've ever seen it go from the 80s to accumulating snow here before in such a short amount of time.
