    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.

    The first wave trended sw and I ended up with a paltry 0.5".

    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.

    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.
  6. hawkeye_wx
    I finished with 5.6 inches. I have almost reached last winter's snow total on December 7th.
  7. hawkeye_wx
    Another inch in the last hour, now up to 4".
  8. hawkeye_wx
    I have received 3 inches in a little over 3 hours.

    One location in far nw Iowa got 9.4" this afternoon. Fort Dodge and Ames got 5.5".

    Earlier today, the CAMs were predicting a 6+" band along hw30 from central to eastern Iowa. As the afternoon has progressed, these models have shifted northeast and dried out. It looks more like 3-5 (hopefully still that much) across east-central Iowa.

    DVN just upgraded my area to a winter storm warning and 5-7". I'm not expecting 7, but 5 would be nice.

    Our 11" shrunk by half pretty quickly.
  13. hawkeye_wx
    The globals have been much more stable (and south) than the CAMs.
  14. hawkeye_wx
    The RRFS from 00z to 12z.
  15. hawkeye_wx
    The 00z models were north, but the overnight and morning trend has been back south.
  16. hawkeye_wx
    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.
  17. hawkeye_wx
    The Saturday night clipper has shifted north on several models overnight. The CAMs have shifted significantly north.
  18. hawkeye_wx
    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.
  20. hawkeye_wx
    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.
  22. hawkeye_wx
    I have 10.9 inches. Maybe I could squeeze another 0.1 out of the last light band.
  23. hawkeye_wx
    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.
  24. hawkeye_wx
    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.
  25. hawkeye_wx
    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.
