    Jesus Christ, people, can we please get back on topic? One person mentions JB and we get twenty f'n posts shi**ing on him. Enough!

    I received 1.5" of sleet and no snow from that storm. Thankfully, tomorrow's system won't be a repeat.
  3. hawkeye_wx
    2-3" is what I'm expecting here as well.

    Euro is looking more like the GFS now. Is the GFS really going to win again? It already did best for the last two bigger events.
  5. hawkeye_wx
    12z GFS about the same, good for MN to central WI, lousy for central Iowa to Chicago.
  6. hawkeye_wx
    The GFS, today, has trended toward sharper upper energy, which causes the surface feature to extend up into Minnesota. It seems a bit weird. The other models are not doing this. Any thoughts?

    Euro coming in with a stronger low and a bit less cold again, although still cold enough to give my area a nice thump.
  8. hawkeye_wx
    12z GFS is a bit colder initially, but still ends up far enough north to bring light rain to my area. The 12z Canadian is like the 00z Euro, keeping my area in snow throughout.
  9. hawkeye_wx
    Whoa! 00z Euro is much colder aloft late in the week.

    If we get any snow out of this, it'll probably last five minutes before changing to sleet and freezing rain. Northern Iowa into MN/WI is a much more favorable area.

    Even tonight's minor system was a dud here in Cedar Rapids. I only picked up 0.7".

    This is the latest HRRR for wave 2. Yikes!
  13. hawkeye_wx
    With wave 2 going weak and east, it appears my snow total from this dud will be a measly 1".
  14. hawkeye_wx
    00z Euro
  15. hawkeye_wx
    It looks like I only got about an inch out of this.
  16. hawkeye_wx
    Yep. We needed a few things to go right, but instead they all went wrong. Oh well. At least it was interesting to follow for a week. Maybe we'll have better fortune over the next month.

    The snow/sleet line is on top of Cedar Rapids at the moment. The far north side is getting all snow while I am still all sleet.

    I'm a couple miles west of downtown Cedar Rapids and it has been raining here for quite a while. I certainly wasn't expecting 4+ hours of freezing rain. There are a few pingers, but it's mostly rain. Everything is glazed in ice and icicles are dangling from things like the bird feeder.

    I'm curious why the CAMs (nam/hrrr) are so much farther nw with the wave 2 defo zone than the globals.
  20. hawkeye_wx
    Now the ICON has gone back nw a bit and stronger with wave 2.
  21. hawkeye_wx
    This is a difficult forecast for my area as well. Models are trending nw a bit with the snow/sleet line this evening and overnight. Frankly, it's looking like Cedar Rapids may end up with a bunch of sleet, which sucks. Regarding wave #2, while the globals have trended southeast, the CAMs continue to insist on a farther nw track of the deformation zone, right through Iowa. My guess is I will get very little snow tonight and maybe 2-3" tomorrow.
  22. hawkeye_wx
    Jeez, models.
  23. hawkeye_wx
    Southeast and weak with wave 2, yes, but also juiced and nw with wave 1. It actually has Cedar Rapids/Iowa City getting nothing as the waves split the area.
  24. hawkeye_wx
    The GFS has finally juiced up wave #1, joining the other models.
  25. hawkeye_wx
    Cedar Rapids has hit 57º this afternoon.
