Stebo Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 I'd be watching where that convection near KC goes later this morning, that could have some major snowfall rates with it. It has really blossomed in the last hour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luftfeuchtigkeit Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 I woke up at 1am with thunder and lightning. It was awesome. Now I still can't sleep. Measured 5.2" at 2am and 6.0" at 3am. SW side of Madison. I'm starting to get concerned though as the temp has crept up closer to 32 now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 DVN just hoisted blizzard warnings for the metro and increased accumulations into the 4-8" range. Maybe I won't look like such a dummy after all holding to that range in my call the whole time. Should start to see more explosion on the radar in the next few hours as the upr air low begins closing off and things really start getting interesting. Cannot wait to see this unfold.

hawkeye_wx Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Kinda looking like the Cedar Rapids area may be a relative screw zone. We were on the southeast edge of the first piece of the storm and now we are poised to be on the far west edge of the second piece. I don't know exactly how much snow we've received so far because I was very tired and slept through the entire first part, but I'm guessing it may be a few inches. Maybe we can get another few inches from the second deformation zone. It looks like Madison may be one of the big winners because they got a good hit from the first piece and are in a great spot to get hit hard again later. The RAP is really nailing southern WI later with several hours of heavy precip. Edit: Locations just south of CR appear to have not gotten much so far due to warm temps, so they could end up the big losers. At least we've had a few inches(a couple new spotter reports say 4-5 inches in CR). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-L-E-K Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 I'm at the point where nothing would shock me snow totals wise at my house. Anywhere from 1-6" looks possible but now models are backing off the "2nd" defo band getting going and most of the hi res models have the trowal swinging through tomorrow evening, maybe even stalling west of 39 for awhile. But if I had to pick I'd say 3.1" here. Those far east placements of the 2nd defo band never made sense...how often are they that close to the low. Anyways still looks like an inch or so here. Cold sector precip currently looks a little weak but should get going again here soon. Over here in the warm sector...we should easily see 1.5"+ of rain.

turtlehurricane Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Getting a fairly strong band of snow again, temperature hanging right at 32 °F on top of the met building. Looks like the dry slot is coming in though. Definitely not the most organized snowstorm, spread out over a broad area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-L-E-K Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 brutal. You trust these backend storms as much as I do. Run after run looks less and less impressive with the band over NE Illinois later. The trend is clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gosaints Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 About 3.5 inches down here. Heavier band about to move in for probably a couple hours. Might be able to eek out 6.5 or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeye_wx Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Just measured 3.5 inches in Cedar Rapids. There is no drifting at all because the snow is like concrete. One of my bird feeders, a hanging goldfinch sock, was encased in ice and I had to chop it off. This storm is nothing at all like the Groundhog Day blizzard. Definitely a disappointment so far.
