Seeing an 11” report as of 12:32 just outside of Davenport

We are still RN- here

Moderate rain now here

Where is cyclone. Those returns have to be yielding 1-2” per hour for the past several hours and it’s not moving 

Cyclone has to be getting destroyed rn

Lots of melting here.

Iowa’s winter 

I think this is definitely it. Hopefully sticks around before backside snows maybe add another 1”. Snow showers tomorrow and Sunday will be nice as arctic air sets in.

I’ve had drizzle for a bit but it’s not doing much to the snow pack. Still 4-5 inches on the ground in IKK

Hope this evening cranks 

I think this was the main show 

Drizzle here now

for sure, we were lucky to stack that little base early this am, hope we can hang on to something decent otg before any potential deformation action later, could be explosive, crossing fingers for another period of +sn 

call still technically in play i guess

Im just happy to put something down before the cold, even if just a few inches 

Lightening up here now. Radar should fill in from the southeast. Under lighter returns expect we mix with rain 

Friend sent me a picture from the loop of a traffic light down 

Extremely blustery here. Lots of branches down. Eyeballing about 2”

don't remember seeing that at all

It has been well modeled by the HRRR. It doesn’t properly fill in until 1-2pm

Massive thunder and lightning here guys. This is sick

Thunder

CMC is also really nice.

It would be nice to see the Euro come on board but this is a possible outcome.

HRRR starting to look warmer aloft and more similar solution to the Euro

GFS continues to run colder aloft resulting in mostly snow for the immediate metro and far more significant totals

You say that like it's a bad thing.

Because it is and it should be discontinued 

SREF is a joke btw. ORD mean was at 5” this AM. 11” now

Things are looking somewhat better for portions of SE MI and I am all for it! Enjoy Chicago Crew! 

I like how “chicago” has become synonymous with “everywhere west of Lake Michigan from Champaign to Green Bay”
