    Tonight's Euro.... -14º at noon Monday here in Iowa.
  2. hawkeye_wx
    My January snow total is 18.7". My season total is up to 39.0". I did not measure the snow depth in the backyard, but it's deep.
  3. hawkeye_wx
    My final storm total is 6.4" (6.1" if I use the snow board total that has compacted since 7pm). I'm shocked we ended up with that much.
  4. hawkeye_wx
    An intense band this morning has my total up to 5.9". This morning's snow is high-ratio stuff. This is way beyond what I expected. We have a shot at 7".
  5. hawkeye_wx
    4.6" here with more solid snow building over us this morning. This is as good as we could have done.
  6. hawkeye_wx
    I'm up to 3.1" thanks to a real nice band that has parked over Cedar Rapids for a few hours. While hlcater has been screwed down in Iowa City, up in Cedar Rapids we've done about as well as we could have.

    How's this for a pattern? Big storm or not, tonight's GFS and Euro are bringing some very cold air down into the CONUS around this period, with high temps below zero across the midwest. 00z Euro next weekend

    I'm up to 2" with the best snow of the night currently falling. One nice thing about getting a solid glaze before the snow is I can measure anywhere and not just on my snow boards.

    The backside deformation zone is filling in across eastern Iowa. It's not heavy, but it's solid accumulating snow that will continue all night.
  10. hawkeye_wx
    I've received about an inch since it began around 7pm.
  11. hawkeye_wx
    Snow is picking up here, into moderate territory. A long-duration light to moderate snow through Sunday morning may get us to 3-4".
  12. hawkeye_wx
    We've switched to light snow. It's possible we could still pile up 3-4" if the deformation zone works out favorably.
  13. hawkeye_wx
    A few flakes are finally beginning to mix in over here.
  14. hawkeye_wx
    Unfortunately, today's models were too aggressive with the switch to snow over here. They had it all snow by 6pm, but it's still all sleet.
  15. hawkeye_wx
    We have very slowly risen to near 32º now, still raining. The HRRR and NAMs insist we will switch to snow over the next hour.
  16. hawkeye_wx
    For the last several runs, the HRRR has the light, but solid, deformation zone parking over Cedar Rapids/Iowa City through mid morning tomorrow.
  17. hawkeye_wx
    The solid rain has arrived here. It's still 31º, so there is a shiny glaze covering the snow.
  18. hawkeye_wx
    The HRRR is ramping the snowfall back up for east-central Iowa. The 18z is the best run since yesterday.
  19. hawkeye_wx
    ... and the GFSv16, Canadian, and UK. If the northern stream outruns/bypasses the southern stream, which is what models are beginning to show, then anything could happen after that. The southern wave could get dragged along and sheared (tonight's UK), or it could hang way back and get picked up by the next northern stream wave (other models).

    The 18z Euro is the first Euro run to move Cedar Rapids out of the 6+" 10:1 snowfall. On top of that, the 00z HRRR is even warmer once again and, like the NAMs, brings plain rain up into Cedar Rapids. This formerly "locked-in" snow event is fading fast over here. Perfect low track, strong storm, but not enough cold air.
  21. hawkeye_wx
    Yep. I'm not expecting more than a few inches of slop. Bummer.
  22. hawkeye_wx
    3k NAM says forget the mixing, let's just go with rain.
  23. hawkeye_wx
    The HRRR has a 7:1 ratio over here. That'll be fun to clean.
  24. hawkeye_wx
    18z HRRR... last evening this model had all snow down to I-80 in eastern Iowa at this time. Meanwhile, the Euro still does have all snow. One of them is very wrong.
  25. hawkeye_wx
    The CAMs keep warming it up over here and lowering snow totals, but the globals, particularly the GFSv16 and Euro, won't budge from their colder and snowier solutions. 12z Euro 10:1
