Avg is low 30s", I'm at 20".
-
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.
-
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.
-
First 11" report from just southeast of Cedar Rapids.
-
Wow, that's nuts! You are right, my records show 8.2" on Xmas Eve 2010.
-
8.3" here, one final band about to move in.
-
The lightning did not make it up to Cedar Rapids, really the only box that wasn't checked.
-
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.
-
Another 2" in the last hour.... 7.6" total.
-
It's a shame this is passing through so quickly. The back edge of the real heavy snow is within 20 minutes of me.
-
5.6" here at 5pm.
-
This is awesome. Our heavy snow (1.5+"/hr) with small flakes just turned into cotton balls. Radar says no mix anywhere close.
-
Up to 3.9" here, 1.7" last hour. There is no mix approaching highway 30 (Cedar Rapids), so we should easily go past 6".
-
Pretty heavy snow here, up to 2.2".... 1.4" last hour. The rate has peaked in the last 15 minutes. It is dry and fluffy, blowing quite a bit.
-
The 3kNAM had ZERO snow accumulation in southwest Iowa. That area actually received 7".
-
Coming down pretty good in Cedar Rapids.
-
Definite trend from the Euro, weakening and shearing east earlier. This system peaks in the southern plains.
-
Final Euro for wave #1.
-
Most models are looking good for Cedar Rapids. The NAM continues to insist WAA aloft will surge up through the area and kill snow totals.
-
UK not budging
-
The 00z 3k NAM is very aggressive with the WAA. Even Cedar Rapids only gets a few hours of snow.
-
NAM still surging the sleet and freezing rain into Cedar Rapids to southern Wisconsin.
-
Yes, this is pretty ugly. Other models show something similar.
-
This would be a dream storm, but 2+"/hr for several hours, which is what the HRRR is forecasting, is not realistic for Iowa. We are not Binghampton.
-
Honest question. Does WAA ever underperform and sleet stays farther south during setups like this?
