Our 11" shrunk by half pretty quickly.

The globals have been much more stable (and south) than the CAMs.

The RRFS from 00z to 12z.

The 00z models were north, but the overnight and morning trend has been back south.

The Euro is holding steady with its snow band through Iowa. In general, the global models are farther south and the CAMs are farther north.

The Saturday night clipper has shifted north on several models overnight. The CAMs have shifted significantly north.

It's a very active pattern over the next couple weeks. There will be an alternating series of brief mild and cold surges. The Euro is showing quite a temp contrast a week from now between the plains and lakes.

12z Euro is still hot with the weekend clipper for my area. This system is short-lived, though. It blows up in Siouxland and craps out after leaving Iowa.

Got down to -8º here, with some -teens across northern Iowa. Models are amping up the weekend clipper. The latest Euro is fairly robust.

My total is 11.0". This storm had a lot of good qualities. One negative is it was mostly light to moderate snow, with only a couple brief bursts of heavy rates, which is why I was not able to get to a foot.

I have 10.9 inches. Maybe I could squeeze another 0.1 out of the last light band.

Looking at my records that go back to 2007, I had never even come close to getting double-digit snow in November, until this year.

Yeah, but that stuff will be very light and gradually lift north as it moves east. The latest CAMs have about another inch falling here over the next four hours.

The nice, fluffy flakes from the recent heavy pocket boosted my total to 10.2 inches. Unfortunately, that was it for the good snow, so once again I will not get a 12" storm.

A pocket of yellow just popped over CR, which should help get me to 10". Large flakes are dumping.
