Some models had pushed all precip southeast of Cedar Rapids, but scattered patches of sleet and light snow are moving through the area... enough to coat the pavement and cause DVN to issue an advisory.

Could be a valuable ob for folks downstream in the coming hours.  Thanks.

Think maybe that could be part of issue with models shifting south? Or was that mostly because of weaker south sfc low?

What I posted was not meant to imply anything in regards to where the surface low is going to track.  I didn't check the current frontal position.  That could be spot on for all I know.  Just noticed that temps behind it are not dropping off as quickly, which is probably going to further reduce the already questionable freezing rain prospects over the next several hours.

Yet another gift from this POS storm. Lol. PUNT

SE trend like ice cream. Too much made him sick but he's not the only one who ate from that bowl.

eh I've seen far bigger collapses in the days when your only resource was 312-976-1212(NWS Chicago) and the local TV Mets who were conditioned to only forecast 1-3,2-4, and 4 inches or more. Many times waiting on the snowstorm, looking at the sky for the storm that was never coming. Nowadays, when you have one model all in, and 2or 3 all out you know the game can go either way. It was pretty clear two days ago when the american models burped where we were headed. Real hilarity, is wife's school called a snow day yesterday at 4pm. As a kid, it would have taken 20" for me to sniff an off day...like the 1979 blizzard....and even that took until 7 am.
