    I took ~90 measurements in a grid across my backyard and came up with 3.0", which seems about right considering the drifts and scoured areas. The gauge caught 0.40", which means the ratio is terrible, as it always is when the wind is strong. The kuchera map predicted a ratio well above 10. This stuff was a major pain to clean up. It's dense, with a layer of either wet snow or ice on the bottom.

    My NWS forecast says 3-7", but as the models have continued to inch eastward, I am only expecting 2-3 inches now.

    06z Euro is southeast with the heavy secondary defo band
  4. hawkeye_wx
    00z Euro - ratio will probably be lower due to wind

    March 23rd on the Euro

    DVN issued a blizzard warning for their entire area. The snow forecast is 4-8", which seems a bit high, plus wind up to 60 mph.

    The 12z Euro bumped up the defo zone and is the most robust of the models.

    The Euro has low teens across Iowa Monday afternoon, then 70s by Thursday and 80s Friday.

    The 12z Euro is a big shift back west with the secondary defo band. The previous two runs had almost nothing in eastern Iowa.

    Oddly, I just read the DVN discussion and it talks about a winter storm watch for heavy deformation zone snow, with zero mention of the bone-dry Euro. Other non-GFS models are also trending toward the Euro, so I think DVN will have to start walking back the snow talk.

    The Euro continues to trend in the wrong direction for Iowa. At this point it's non-event except for wind. It barely has a flake of snow falling anywhere in the state. I'm expecting the GFS to cave soon.

    The Euro is the most progressive of the models. It doesn't have much of anything for Iowa, rain or snow.

    Multiple models are hinting at a secondary defo zone blowing up across eastern Iowa and northern Illinois as another piece of energy rounds the base of the trough and lifts ne.

    Yeah, potent cold shot, but the Euro has us back in the 70s by Thursday.

    It's good we got our soaker yesterday morning, because we did not get a drop from the cold front passage.

    I got 1.00" of rain this morning. There was a close lightning strike and huge crack of thunder at the leading edge of the rain, around 3am. It knocked my internet out for a few hours.
  19. hawkeye_wx
    It is looking good for an inch of rain here early tomorrow morning, along with some rumbles.

    Last night's Euro has a high of 80º+ next Tuesday ahead of a strong cold front, with a few pockets reaching the mid 80s, before the pattern turns much colder.

    It looks like a pretty gloomy week, but with very little rain.
  22. hawkeye_wx
    Up to 10" fell under that stationary heavy band in far se MN.
  23. hawkeye_wx
    It's looking much more active in March.
  24. hawkeye_wx
    I'm still waiting for the 1000-year storm that drops 12" in my yard. That would be peak crazy.

    38" in Providence is insane. I've lived in eastern Iowa for 50 years and not once have I ever measured 12".
