    We are expecting 47º with 40 mph wind gusts this afternoon. It should nuke the remaining couple inches of snow cover.

    This would typically be a nice snowstorm this time of year. I might get to shovel some slush at the end.

    Snowpack makes a big difference. This morning northern Iowa was 15-25 below. Southern Iowa was near 0. Cedar Rapids hit -9 with a few inches on the ground.

    I'd give this winter a D. We are not terribly below avg snow, but it has been a nickel & dimer winter, and most of the snow has been at night. There has been no real big snow chance. It's just a very blah winter outside of the pre-Xmas blizzard (only a few inches).

    This was the Euro the night before the event... not good.

    A pretty heavy-looking band has been parked over Madison for a while.
  7. hawkeye_wx
    With the evening band of snow failing to materialize, after being forecasted by every model, my storm total is likely to be only 2.0". This was a pretty big stinker. The south models (I'm looking at you Canadian and Euro) were awful.
  8. hawkeye_wx
    Kind of a stinker over here. The main band only dropped 1.9" in my yard. The tail might drop another half inch later. I finally got into a band with a solid rate this morning, but it lasted about ten minutes. The south models (Canadian, Euro) were wrong for Iowa.

    This band of snow pushing through Cedar Rapids this morning is not even moderate. The flakes are fairly small and the rate is meh. I just measured 0.8" and radar shows the back edge approaching quickly.

    00z Euro
  11. hawkeye_wx
    00z GDPS (Canadian) is still on the south edge of the model range, agreeing with the 18z Euro.
  12. hawkeye_wx
    All the short-term models (hrrr/nam/fv3) are still well north of the 18z Euro.
  13. hawkeye_wx
    The 00z GFS nudged north as well. The south edge in Iowa may be razor sharp. The Chicago area at least gets a late influx of moisture as the wave reaches them, which spreads the love a bit.
  14. hawkeye_wx
    The HRRR is still drifting north.
  15. hawkeye_wx
    The northern stream dominates. The good energy gets stuck in the sw US and then strung out across the south.
  16. hawkeye_wx
    The main storm and secondary energy both disappointed here. I finished with a grand total of one inch.
  17. hawkeye_wx
    The Euro has hardly budged an inch over the last few runs.
  18. hawkeye_wx
    The Iowa NWS offices are saying there should be a favorably-deep DGZ.
  19. hawkeye_wx
    A few of the models overdid the snow here, on the nw edge. I only got 0.6". The trailing energy dropping in from the north now may also produce its snow a bit farther east. I might get another 0.5" tonight.
  20. hawkeye_wx
    The 00z UK has shifted north with the GFS and Euro.
  21. hawkeye_wx
    The 00z Euro has the upper energy digging southward into Iowa pulling some moisture back northwestward through cyclone and into northeast Iowa. Models have been teasing this a bit, but it comes and goes. It wasn't there on the 12z Euro.
  22. hawkeye_wx
    I received 1.1". Models never agreed, but I got about the average of all of them. The wet Euro from a couple days ago was very wrong, but so were the bone-dry CAMs.
  23. hawkeye_wx
    Models have this upper low dipping across the Mexico border. That's simply too far south for Iowa. We need this to move east across NM and into the TX panhandle.
  24. hawkeye_wx
    Unsurprisingly, the 00z Euro did pull back a bit from its 18z run. However, it still has a decent, light event. I'd like to get some insulation on the ground before the cold moves in. I'd take 2".
  25. hawkeye_wx
    The 18z Euro suddenly greatly increased the band of snow up through Cedar Rapids. We went from 1" on the 12z to 3+" on the 18z. The 18z H5 maps show a sharper wave over my area, but it wouldn't surprise me if it's just a one-run blip. Other models are much drier.
