    I picked up 0.9". The enhanced band set up just east of Cedar Rapids.

    We will get very little snow from this, but some freezing drizzle has, unexpectedly, iced up surfaces here.

    This weak system has been all over the place on models (some runs have even shown a dry wave) so I haven't really paid too much attention to it up to now.
  4. hawkeye_wx
    Euro and Canadian for the same period. Around the 25th is what the models are focusing on.

    The pavement only has an inch, but I was surprised to measure 1.8" (including slush) on the snow board. That is in line with other reports from the area. To no one's surprise, the Des Moines area was the winner yet again with about 7". This must be four or five storms this winter in which they've been the winners.

    It's dud city over here. Last night's Euro showing several inches pounding this area this evening was ridiculously wrong. Even the driest models for this area may be too aggressive. All we are getting is light snow that is struggling to accumulate. Even 1" may be tough to get at this point.

    We only have a couple inches of snow cover remaining. The snow did a good job of keeping my area much cooler than central/western Iowa over the last week, but it still lost the fight.

    The more bullish model runs (Euro) for eastern Iowa were rubbish. My area may get an inch or two before the low spins up and pulls the dry slot over eastern Iowa.

    I'd like for the op Euro to be right, but it's mostly on its own. Central IA into MN should get the bulk of the snow. I'd be happy with 2-3".
  10. hawkeye_wx
    Absolutely. Other models still have a dry hole over east-central IA. This is a very interesting, rare system. We aren't going to know where some of the heavier pockets set up until the upper energy finds its exact spin-up location. The latest Euro spins it up pretty tightly over the Quad Cities area.

    This just got more interesting for eastern Iowa. The Euro just added a big blob of heavy snow right over me.

    Tonight's 3k NAM and RDPS have shifted heavier snow totals into eastern Iowa. Meanwhile, the latest HRRR shifted west a bit. The 12k NAM is still west. I would love to get into the windy, snowy deformation zone

    Some solid snow is looking good for areas to my west up through Minnesota. As cyclone said, having the low directly over our area will greatly limit the snow.

    Winter 18-19, we had our snowiest five-week period ever from mid Jan to mid Feb. I picked up 44" during that insane period. I'd gladly take a repeat.

    The GFS and Euro are on different planets Thursday. The GFS has all the energy focused on a strong low up in Canada. Meanwhile, the Euro has no low in Canada at all and has all the energy in the midwest. Other models are in between.
  16. hawkeye_wx
    And the Euro gets even more interesting with the Thursday wave.

    I picked up 8.5" of snow a couple weeks ago, but a tiny bit of melting and a lot of compaction has shrunk it down to about 4".
  18. hawkeye_wx
    Avg is low 30s", I'm at 20".
  19. hawkeye_wx
    Iowa City picked up a solid 4" of snow this afternoon. I did not see a flake in Cedar Rapids. That's about 15 inches in Iowa City this week.
  20. hawkeye_wx
    My snow total is 8.5". The 12" report just south of me sure seems like a lot. This was the most satisfying snowstorm in years.
  21. hawkeye_wx
    First 11" report from just southeast of Cedar Rapids.
  22. hawkeye_wx
    Wow, that's nuts! You are right, my records show 8.2" on Xmas Eve 2010.
  23. hawkeye_wx
    8.3" here, one final band about to move in.
  24. hawkeye_wx
    The lightning did not make it up to Cedar Rapids, really the only box that wasn't checked.
  25. hawkeye_wx
    The winner so far is the Des Moines airport with 9.6". Des Moines has been a big bulls-eye this winter. So has Cedar Rapids.
