    Next week's system is the second straight big storm caving south of Iowa. We got no snow before December 28th and essentially nothing after January 16th. What the hell kind of winter is that?

    Last storm, around 5 days out, the GFS was trying to hold onto a big snow for Iowa while the others caved south. Today, about 5 days out, the GFS is trying to hold onto big snow for Iowa while the others have caved south. I'm certainly not optimistic and I won't be expecting anything unless it looks good Sunday.

    First rain of the year here as well, adding up to 0.08".

    I won't complain if we get a big snowstorm over the next month, but I'm ready for thunderstorms, or even a nice 1-2" stratiform soaker.

    Today's Euro is surging 50s into our area early next week. That would feel great after a consistently cool to cold January and early February. Our snow may be nearly gone by mid month.

    I picked up a quick quarter inch from a snow band moving through eastern Iowa last hour. It's not much, but it was nice to see some solid snow again.

    The map is using spotter reports up through 9:45am EST. Perhaps it'll be more accurate later once all the snow is finished and all reports are in.

    Is this one better?

    Yep, we've had snow on the ground since late December.

    Here's a map updated at midnight.

    Those of you about to get 12+ inches over 36 hours, how often will you be clearing your snow boards?
  15. hawkeye_wx
    Nah. I'm interested because it's a big storm within the subforum, but it has little chance to drop much snow up here.
  16. hawkeye_wx
    I recorded 10.5" for that storm.

    It appears the death band is finally dying on radar.

    TWC has a guy in Newport. He's under the weenie band and you can't see anything except him (whiteout).

    Yesterday's ensembles signaled that south may be the way to go. I'm not putting much faith in the nw outlier GFS. A few days ago models were showing a deep western trough and eastern ridge, with a torch surging north into the lakes. Since then, models have gradually transferred energy from the west to the north... now too much pressing for Iowa.

    15" would easily be the biggest snowstorm in my lifetime. It's difficult just to get 10" here.

    The GFS/GEFS came back nw at 06z and is solid for Iowa, but the 00z Euro went way south.
  22. hawkeye_wx
    I haven't read any posts mentioning it, but it appears much of this snow will be falling during the daylight on Saturday, which only adds to the greatness of the storm.

    Some recent model op runs have been good for Iowa, but the model ensembles are suggesting this overrunning/cutter pattern has a better chance of being suppressed to the south of Iowa. I'm hopeful, but not optimistic.
  24. hawkeye_wx
    As good as the op GFS looks, there are a lot of ensemble members that look very different. Many have no snow at all in Iowa.
  25. hawkeye_wx
    True. The precip type and snow apps are a big plus for Pivotal. Tropical Tidbits does have free 06z/18z runs and 3hr increments.
