    My snow total is 3.1". The liquid total is 0.48", so the ratio is lousy. It started out dry and cold with instant sticking and blowing. Now everything is soaking wet and it's raining. Kudos to the Euro for nailing this one for my area. From the start it had a colder atmosphere and a blob of 3-4" getting down to Cedar Rapids. Most models had little to no snow here until yesterday's runs.

    It would also be in the teens and very windy during this event.

    Whoa, the Euro is coming in hot and nw this run.

    1" here last hour, 2.3" total.

    Plenty of time, yes. However, there is a clear southeast trend on all models. The new Canadian has also shifted the heavy snow to my southeast... as did the 06z Euro.

    The GFS has now shifted the New Year's storm south, mostly in Missouri and Illinois. The southeast trend needs to stop or I'll end up with nothing.

    1.3" here so far, the first measurable snow of the season.

    Models have consistently had Cedar Rapids on the sw edge of the snow, with a sharp gradient between 0 and 4" over my local area. That is playing out as the mix line is already up to the airport south of the city. If that line doesn't stop I could end up with only 1" while 4" falls 5-10 miles northeast.

    00z Euro for Tuesday's system. Models tonight are showing a potential sneaky moderate event from ne IA into southern WI.

    I am currently getting a thunderstorm with hail. It's mostly pea size or smaller, but there were a few pieces up to 3/8 inch.

    When it's one model vs all others, I'm betting on the others. I expect to see flakes, but not much accumulation here. The Euro's 4" in CR looks like nonsense.

    My area has had four straight above to well above average snow seasons, so we were due for a dud.

    Same here. Mostly gusting to 50 mph, but a couple up to 60 mph.

    It is 69º at 8:20pm, just as the storms are moving into Cedar Rapids.
  15. hawkeye_wx
    75º this afternoon in Iowa City and Moline.

    Cedar Rapids beat today's daily record by 18 degrees.... kinda Morch-like.

    Can someone explain why they create a box, but then include counties that lie entirely well outside the box (like Waterloo/Ottumwa in this case)?
  18. hawkeye_wx
    It's officially 72º in Cedar Rapids. The old December record high temp was 69º.
  19. hawkeye_wx
    It is up to 70º here.
  20. hawkeye_wx
    We received only a dusting in Cedar Rapids, so still no measurable snow this season.
  21. hawkeye_wx
    I picked up a decent 0.45" of rain. I also heard several light rumbles.
  22. hawkeye_wx
    Cedar Rapids' record high on the 15th is 55º and the all-time December record is 69º. The latest GFS and Euro predict 70º.
  23. hawkeye_wx
    All models tonight are south with the Friday system. I don't expect it to sag too much farther south, but I may at least see the first accumulation of the season.
  24. hawkeye_wx
    It's looking increasingly good for southern MN through the UP this weekend. There is good model agreement. I don't mind missing the snow, but models also show much of the rain missing southeast as well. The Euro looks thunderstormy for folks in the Ohio Valley and even up to Michigan.

    It's looking quite good for your region over the next week+.
