    My rain total from the current system is 1.33".

    As cool as it would be to get dumped on in early November, I need a couple weeks to collect the neighbor's oak leaves for my garden.

    The 12z euro is even better than that GFS map above.

    Frankly, there haven't been too many memorable snowstorms here in Cedar Rapids. I barely remember any before this decade. I've never measured a foot.

    The western edge of the clouds is from Waterloo to the Quad Cities, and that's where the highest gusts have been so far. Waterloo: 52 mph Cedar Rapids: 49 mph Iowa City: 53 mph Davenport: 49 mph

    There are some nice reds in my neighborhood, but they're dropping quickly. There is a nice, big, red maple outside of my bedroom window that has perhaps 1/4 of its leaves remaining.

    Anyone know what kind of building code they have in the Marianas?

    59 mph gust reported in Iowa City.

    So far, much of eastern Iowa is seeing gusts to the mid 40s. There are a couple 55+ reports from Waterloo to Mason City.

    We had our first frost this morning.

    I only saw a few flurries last night. Our temperature is, again, lagging behind what the models suggested. We are just now nearing 32 for the first time this season. I'm hoping the brief time near freezing will limit the plant damage.

    I should get my first freeze tomorrow morning. However, the precip part of this system is passing north and south.

    3-5 inches of snow has fallen in the Lincoln-Omaha area.
  14. hawkeye_wx
    Omaha and Lincoln are getting pretty good snow this morning. The NWS just upped Omaha to an advisory.

    Wow, that is spectacular!

    We have not had a frost or freeze, yet. Monday morning is our next chance.

    The CR airport hit 32 early in the night, but we came up short in the city. Clouds moved in by 2am and held us around 34. I did see flakes this morning, but just a few tiny specks that were barely noticeable.

    The local mets were all on tv for four hours this afternoon/evening due to the tornado warnings. However, all they really did was follow wall clouds across the area. One met, Terry Swails, seemed bored by evening and was clearly ready for a break.

    I picked up 1.57" yesterday and, especially, overnight.

    I've been casually paying attention to Leslie. However, I didn't realize until now that it might be snaking around the Atlantic for another 10 days. That's pretty nuts.
  21. hawkeye_wx
    Only 0.67" here overnight. I thought Chicago would do better, but most of it passed north.

    I did very well in September with regard to heavy rainfall. I was pretty excited about the prospect of another multi-day deluge. The first week of October, however, has been a dud. A few days ago very heavy rain set up just north and now tonight it's setting up just south. In between, we've received squat.
  23. hawkeye_wx
    I only picked up 0.21 last evening. All the heavy stuff passed north and east. Models keep pushing back our heavy rain. Now, it's Friday and then again next week.
  24. hawkeye_wx
    I finished September with 9.38" of rain... and that's after 7.36" in August. October should at least start pretty wet.

    Only upper 30s here this morning, with some clouds, so no frost.
