    This morning the heavy snow dropped our temp from 34 to 33, but then it held there until the front came through.

    Conditions are deteriorating rapidly over here. We went from beautiful, relatively calm snow to significant blowing and very low visibility.

    The front just came through a little while ago and the wind has picked up from the west. My snow total is up to 2.1".

    This has to be 2+"/hr snow we're getting right now. It's too bad I am getting toward the back end of this band.

    A nice band of yellow on radar has popped over Cedar Rapids. It's dumping pretty good... probably even better a mile or two south/east of me.

    We've had a mix of sleety-snow and snow for the last hour, but it's changing to snow... about on schedule. The question for us has always been how robust will the precip shield be? Given the current look on radar, I don't think the higher totals some models have been spitting out will happen.

    Both NAMs and both GFSs are going nuts around here with a very intense snow band dropping several inches. Other models are in the 3-4" range. Meanwhile, the NWS forecast has 1-3".

    The 00z NAMs have suddenly thrown a 5-8" band over eastern Iowa, but the 00z HRRR has nothing like that. The HRRR is more in line with other models showing a few inches around here.

    The GFSv16 is MUCH weaker with the Monday wave.

    The latest models show the arctic cold parking over the northern US for at least ten days. That would be impressive.

    Here's the Euro kuchera map for the next week, which includes four systems (Thursday wave, weak Sat wave, better Sun wave, best Mon wave)
  12. hawkeye_wx
    The 00z Euro is pretty similar to the UK
  13. hawkeye_wx
    There is definitely a south trend. The UK has finally sunk a few inches down into Chicagoland.
  14. hawkeye_wx
    00z GFS is holding pretty steady.
  15. hawkeye_wx
    Even the 3k NAM is nothing like the 12k NAM. As Purdue mentioned, another 24 hours for the various pieces of energy to present themselves will help.
  16. hawkeye_wx
    12z NAM has jumped nw big time. Models will need more time to figure this out.

    Tonight's Euro with a nice surprise for northern Illinois. It's very similar to other models with its shifting of the energy southward, but while other models have more snow focused on Iowa, the Euro is east.

    The January temp departure graphic is deceptive. If I saw that before the month began I'd probably think it would be a lousy month. Instead, it was my second snowiest January over the last fourteen years, with consistent snow cover for the entire month.

    Tonight's Euro.... -14º at noon Monday here in Iowa.
  20. 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.
  21. 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.
  22. 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".
  23. hawkeye_wx
    4.6" here with more solid snow building over us this morning. This is as good as we could have done.
  24. 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.
  25. hawkeye_wx
    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
