Winter 2025-26 Short Range Discussion
hawkeye_wx replied to SchaumburgStormer's topic in Lakes/Ohio Valley
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. -
Winter 2025-26 Medium/Long Range Discussion
hawkeye_wx replied to michsnowfreak's topic in Lakes/Ohio Valley
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.

Nov 28-30th Post Turkey Day Winter Storm
hawkeye_wx replied to Chicago Storm's topic in Lakes/Ohio Valley
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. -

I just measured 8.4 inches. The final batch of good snow is moving through now. -

Just measured 7.1" in my yard. The heavier snow ahead of the low has moved in. The flakes are still small, but they are dense. -

hawkeye_wx replied to Chicago Storm's topic in Lakes/Ohio Valley
Snow accumulation has been slow for much of the morning due to light rates and poor flake quality. The best snow is just now getting in here ahead of the low. Reports around CR/IC say about 7", which is probably what I have so far. I had 5.7" a couple+ hours ago. -

Winners and losers so far. Parts of southern Iowa are getting hosed by a persistent dry pocket that models absolutely did not show at all.
