    My 2.5" of graupel/snow melted down to 0.35", so the ratio was a lousy 7:1.

    I finished with a respectable 2.5", within the model range. This is my biggest snowfall since Feb 4th.

    1.9" here, at least half of it having a Dippin Dots texture.

    9-10" has fallen from Omaha north/northeastward. Unfortunately, it appears this will come at the expense of my area. The good snow is lifting northeast toward Waterloo while I've been stuck with just graupel so far. The HRRR continues to dwindle the event over here.

    Yep. It's my fault for not paying attention earlier. The snow was only three inches below the top of the fence, plus rabbits may even be able to get through the larger squares toward the top of the fence. This afternoon I shoveled a bunch of the snow away from the fence.

    Overnight, a rabbit got over the protective fencing (deep snow) and shredded the bottom of my arborvitae. I began installing the fence each fall after rabbits ruined the original arborvitae during the record snow season of 2007-08. Unfortunately, the lower growth does not recover once rabbits eat it down.

    Having been a victim of the derecho, I'm not itching for more severe storms. A solid number of garden-variety storms this year would be ideal.

    00z NAM/3kNAM... pretty meager outside of northern Iowa into se MN.

    Today, this system dumped over a foot of snow in southern Arkansas.

    It has been a good winter here, but it continues to be very difficult to get a double-digit snow event. The 8.5" I received from the storm at the end of December is my highest total since Groundhog Day 2 in 2015.

    1.1" of very cold, dry powder here. It's difficult to get a lot of snow when it's -6º.

    After tonight's weak wave, I may be around 50" for the season. The Cedar Rapids record is ~61" (I tied this in 2007-08). I need one more late-winter biggie.

    The prospect for anything more than another 1-2" fluffer has dwindled for my area. It's still better than nothing, though. It may be the last snow I see for a while.

    Once the pattern relaxes and the wind switches to the south, the wind will have to pass over a lot of snow-covered ground before reaching our area.
  18. hawkeye_wx
    Those of us in Iowa and MN will need a pattern reset to get any additional significant snow.

    The Euro runs, a day or two ago, that showed snow getting pulled back into Iowa were just a tease. The PV lobe is going to hang around longer and put the kibosh on that scenario.
  20. hawkeye_wx
    I picked up 1.3" later this afternoon into evening. 2-4" fell just north.
  21. hawkeye_wx
    There may be some crazy snow cover across the country following this pattern.
  22. hawkeye_wx
    The 00z UK is a carbon copy of the 12z Euro.... gets the PV lobe out of the way, cuts the sw upper energy nw into Iowa.
  23. hawkeye_wx
    Um..... The only problem is the surface front and deep moisture are still well-removed from the upper low center.
  24. hawkeye_wx
    The Euro looks like it's coming way nw with this.

    The period from last weekend through this weekend has turned into a big disappointment.
