    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.
  4. hawkeye_wx
    Our 11" shrunk by half pretty quickly.
  5. hawkeye_wx
    The globals have been much more stable (and south) than the CAMs.
  6. hawkeye_wx
    The RRFS from 00z to 12z.
  7. hawkeye_wx
    The 00z models were north, but the overnight and morning trend has been back south.

    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.

    The Saturday night clipper has shifted north on several models overnight. The CAMs have shifted significantly north.

    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.
  12. 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.
  14. hawkeye_wx
    I have 10.9 inches. Maybe I could squeeze another 0.1 out of the last light band.

    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.
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. hawkeye_wx
    A pocket of yellow just popped over CR, which should help get me to 10". Large flakes are dumping.
  19. hawkeye_wx
    I just measured 8.4 inches. The final batch of good snow is moving through now.
  20. hawkeye_wx
    Just measured 7.1" in my yard. The heavier snow ahead of the low has moved in. The flakes are still small, but they are dense.
  21. hawkeye_wx
    Snow accumulation has been slow for much of the morning due to light rates and poor flake quality. The best snow is just now getting in here ahead of the low. Reports around CR/IC say about 7", which is probably what I have so far. I had 5.7" a couple+ hours ago.
  22. hawkeye_wx
    Winners and losers so far. Parts of southern Iowa are getting hosed by a persistent dry pocket that models absolutely did not show at all.
  23. hawkeye_wx
    One real nice thing about this system is the wind is actually going to drop through this afternoon as the low passes by to the south and some of the best snow moves in. This should lead to an efficient ratio as the snow won't blow around.
  24. hawkeye_wx
    4.2" here as of 7:15am. The heaviest snow so far, with good-quality flakes, just popped over us. The winners so far have been Fort Dodge to Waterloo, where 8" has fallen. Southern Iowa has been stuck in a big dry pocket this morning, which models did not forecast. My ratio so far is 11.3 to 1, so not bad. The wind is not bad, so the snow in my backyard is very uniform, which I love.

    12z Euro... doesn't get much better for Iowa.
