    This. Plenty of times during storms with ten hours of 0.5"/hr snow I've thought, "Yeah, this is nice, but give me some heavy snow." However, this is the first real snow I've actually seen fall this winter so I'm loving it.

    Up to 4.1" here, still snowing at 0.5"/hr. I never even considered more than 4" a possibility.

    There's a report of 14.5" southwest of Ottumwa in Iowa.

    The better northward surge of the moisture helped a lot of people on the forums. There are lot of members in the Lincoln-Omaha-Des Moines-Cedar Rapids-QC-Chicago corridor. While we won't see any heavy snow, I'm certainly satisfied with the daytime light-to-moderate 4-incher.

    At 1pm I measured 3.1". More decent bands have filled in after a lull a couple hours ago.
  6. hawkeye_wx
    Up to 2.3" here.

    I'm at 1.8" at 9:30am. It's nice to finally see some snow again in daylight. I just wish the rates were better. It's only coming down at about 0.3"/hr.

    The trend this evening is quite positive. The dry air feed is backing off compared to some earlier model runs, especially the HRRR. The dry dip into east-central IA is being replaced with a decent moisture surge. I was expecting 2", but now it should be 3", perhaps 4" with a bit of luck.

    And now the euro has the Missouri-Ohio Valley biggie next weekend. Wash, rinse, repeat.

    12z UK... wetter farther north.

    The models are settling on ~0.20" for Cedar Rapids. The dry air is really going to push back against the moisture around here. The GFS has really sharpened the north edge, which should barely get north of CR. If the dry air is more robust than expected, CR could easily drop down to <1".

    The 00z euro ticked south for my area and now the 12z euro jumped even farther south. The euro went from most bullish to driest for CR.

    I'm tired of, seemingly, 90% of our snow events dumping their loads in the middle of the night. As I get older, I just don't feel like getting out of bed at 3am to look at snow in the street light. I want to see beautiful snowflakes pouring down in daylight.

    In addition to the farther north surge with the moisture, it's equally great that models are slowing the system so at least half the snow falls during daylight.

    Tuesday 12z euro

    I picked up 0.63" of rain overnight into this morning.

    Parkey certainly screwed up. However, the bigger issue yesterday is Parkey still scored most of the Bears' points. Six points from the offense is NOT going to win playoff games.

    I finished December with 2.80" of precip, but only 0.7" of snow. I finished 2018 with 47.21" of precip, well above avg.
  20. hawkeye_wx
    Picked up only a tenth or two of snow here. The precip moved out shortly after changing over.

    The latest euro drops a few inches on Cedar Rapids this afternoon, but the HRRR is less aggressive with the changeover. We're still 34 and rain.
  22. hawkeye_wx
    00z euro.... weaker in Iowa, stronger in the lakes.
  23. hawkeye_wx
    I'd like to see some snow falling, but I've never been a big fan of rain to snow systems. If we get a couple inches it'll be heavy slop. Twenty years ago I wouldn't mind cleaning that up, but not so much now.

    12z euro is holding serve, dumping a couple inches in eastern Iowa up to several in southern Wisconsin.
  25. hawkeye_wx
    1.36" of rain here overnight.
