  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. And the Euro gets even more interesting with the Thursday wave.
  4. 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".
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. First 11" report from just southeast of Cedar Rapids.
  8. Wow, that's nuts! You are right, my records show 8.2" on Xmas Eve 2010.
  9. 8.3" here, one final band about to move in.
  10. The lightning did not make it up to Cedar Rapids, really the only box that wasn't checked.
  11. 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.
  12. Another 2" in the last hour.... 7.6" total.
  13. It's a shame this is passing through so quickly. The back edge of the real heavy snow is within 20 minutes of me.
  14. This is awesome. Our heavy snow (1.5+"/hr) with small flakes just turned into cotton balls. Radar says no mix anywhere close.
  15. 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".
  16. 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.
  17. The 3kNAM had ZERO snow accumulation in southwest Iowa. That area actually received 7".
  18. Definite trend from the Euro, weakening and shearing east earlier. This system peaks in the southern plains.
  19. 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.
  20. The 00z 3k NAM is very aggressive with the WAA. Even Cedar Rapids only gets a few hours of snow.
