    It appears the Bears game Sunday night, while cold, may be perfectly timed to have relatively low wind.

    Kamchatka would be an interesting place to live. In addition to the extreme weather, it is also one of the most volcanically active places on Earth.

    1.1 inches of snow here overnight, our first inch since mid December.

    I really have not disliked the dry and mild conditions over the last couple weeks. It has allowed the street and sidewalk construction at the end of my street to be completed. I live near the end of a dead end street. They just installed a hammerhead turnaround, which will make it much easier for trucks to turn around, including snow plows. There was a port-o-potty on my property, which was finally removed yesterday.

    Models continue to show little to no snow sw of the great lakes region through the end of January. Are the plains going to get any snow this winter?

    I received 0.80" of rain this afternoon. As expected, areas just west/north got the 1+".

    Most models have pushed the heavier rain northwest of me today as the dry slot really shoots up into eastern Iowa and nw Illinois.

    The fog has really held down our temp this week. Yesterday, mid to upper 40s turned into 30s. Today, it's in the upper 50s in Ottumwa, but we are still in the upper 30s. It is finally sunny, but there is not enough time left to heat up too much.

    The GFS and Euro have flipped with the late-week system coming from the sw. The GFS had widespread rain while the Euro missed well southeast. Now the Euro is wet and the GFS is suppressed and dry. The latest GFS doesn't have a flake or drop through Jan 20th.

    Apparently, the Euro weeklies are showing plenty of snow and cold across the midwest from mid January to early February.

    Models continue to be very boring and dry through mid January for much of the middle of the country.

    My gauge collected 0.10" of melted snow, but I was only able to measure about 0.8" of snow in the grass.

    The Cedar Rapids airport gusted to 63 mph.
  14. hawkeye_wx
    I got a solid 0.47" of rain, which is more than what most models were predicting. The temp has crashed from 43º to 25º just in a few hours.

    Yeah, models are out through the first week of January and there is nothing. We'll probably end up with a 1-to-2-week period of snow and cold later in January or February and that'll be it for winter. That seems to be the way it works now.

    Models continue to fade the Christimas warmth. A few days ago, the GFS and Euro had low 60s up to Cedar Rapids. Now, both are down to low 40s, and the 60s are way down in Missouri. Friday is looking much cooler, too.
  17. hawkeye_wx
    Not a flake here.

    A few model runs here and there had been throwing in a day in the 50s or even 60s here over the next couple weeks, but they have moderated the warmup. The latest Euro and GFS have a couple days in the 40s, but then it's just a bunch of 30s with a few 20s thrown in, so it's mostly relatively mild, but no blow torch. The snow will still melt off.

    The HRRR had dropped us all the way down to <1", but we actually got a bit of heavy snow on the northern edge this morning and I picked up a nice, fluffy 2 inches. I'll take it. There is a 6" report just sw of Iowa City. That area, just one county to my sw, has received 8-10 inches from the two clippers.
  20. hawkeye_wx
    The first wave trended sw and I ended up with a paltry 0.5".
  21. hawkeye_wx
    It appears we could get a couple more refresher snows before the bottom drops out next weekend. The Euro has a -35º wind chill here Sunday morning.
  22. hawkeye_wx
    Despite being a light, fluffy snow, my 5.6" oddly has a slightly lower ratio than last weekend's wetter 11". I'm not sure how that happened.
  23. hawkeye_wx
    I finished with 5.6 inches. I have almost reached last winter's snow total on December 7th.
  24. hawkeye_wx
    Another inch in the last hour, now up to 4".
  25. hawkeye_wx
    I have received 3 inches in a little over 3 hours.
