Winter 2020/2021 Short Range Discussion


Chicago Storm

The pavement only has an inch, but I was surprised to measure 1.8" (including slush) on the snow board.  That is in line with other reports from the area.  To no one's surprise, the Des Moines area was the winner yet again with about 7".  This must be four or five storms this winter in which they've been the winners.

Everything here melting on contact pretty much, even with moderate snow earlier. Just had a heavy band come in that I could hear from inside. Thought it was raining, looked out and it was pouring snow and graupel. Got a coating on elevated surfaces and light dusting on the grass in about 4 minutes. Stopped as fast as it started.

The heavier returns are fun.  Noticed something interesting... the lighter returns seemed to have bigger flakes.  The heavier returns were small-medium sized flakes but they were just pouring down.

Noticed the same. 

You can tell when a snow shower went past quite easily by looking at the temperature graph.

Over on the other side of the Midwest, blizzard or near-blizzard conditions have been hitting Omaha to Des Moines. Omaha has had many hours of 1mi visibility or less with gusts above 40 kt, with some damage to trees.

This is just a section of the storm reports from the last 2 days. If I plotted all the Great Plains storm reports, it would be filled with wind reports
