    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?
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  17. 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.
  19. 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.

    True. The precip type and snow apps are a big plus for Pivotal. Tropical Tidbits does have free 06z/18z runs and 3hr increments.
  21. hawkeye_wx
    Tropical Tidbits just added a bunch of Euro data, including 06z and 18z runs. The ECMWF has made of bunch of their stuff free. Sadly, that does not include precip-type or snowfall maps, but it's still pretty nice.

    There was a heated discussion about the frequency of significant snowstorms in Detroit and Chicago on another thread. I just checked my records and it's pretty ugly. Over the last fifteen winters I have only had four 9" snowstorms. That's it... FOUR!!! My last 9" snowstorm was in early February of 2015, seven years ago. Cedar Rapids is a 1-6" climate.

    We have a modest snow cover, but the lack of deeper, fresh snow helped to keep us only in the low to mid negative teens this morning.
  24. hawkeye_wx
    My three-clipper snow total is 0.2".
  25. hawkeye_wx
    The surface low is passing directly over Cedar Rapids. The temp near my house just jumped to 37º while the temp is in the 20s a couple miles north. All I got out of this system was a light dusting at the end.
