    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".

    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.

    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".
  12. hawkeye_wx
    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.
  14. 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.
  15. hawkeye_wx
    First 11" report from just southeast of Cedar Rapids.
  16. hawkeye_wx
    Wow, that's nuts! You are right, my records show 8.2" on Xmas Eve 2010.
  17. hawkeye_wx
    8.3" here, one final band about to move in.
  18. hawkeye_wx
    The lightning did not make it up to Cedar Rapids, really the only box that wasn't checked.
  19. 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.
  20. hawkeye_wx
    Another 2" in the last hour.... 7.6" total.
  21. hawkeye_wx
    It's a shame this is passing through so quickly. The back edge of the real heavy snow is within 20 minutes of me.
  22. hawkeye_wx
    5.6" here at 5pm.
  23. hawkeye_wx
    This is awesome. Our heavy snow (1.5+"/hr) with small flakes just turned into cotton balls. Radar says no mix anywhere close.
  24. hawkeye_wx
    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".
  25. hawkeye_wx
    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.
