Bellona

Fine, I'll just be a lurker from now on, since apparently everyone else can post 3000 snowfall maps but, hey, **** me right?

Seems to me locals and at least DVN NWS feel highway 20 will be the best icing opportunity. Ice is horrible to forecast though so honestly, it's a crap shoot.

Ice potential. Euro also never has Waterloo above freezing. Kinda wavers on precipitation there for a bit then ramps it up later on.

I'm stuck in 12 hours of sleet on GFS. Had a sleet storm early 2000s here and it was awful.

I've noticed several models never have central Iowa getting above freezing tomorrow. I've gone from 37, 36, 34, to 33 for a high according to click.

I'm still thinking a good ice event at your place down here. Around a quarter inch or so. With the winds that might cause some problems.

Do you remember Ian Leonard at KWWL? They could have forecast 5 feet of snow and he would always say, 'flurries'.

Woo...my gosh.

Since sleet doesn't come up much....are their methods for sleet accural like snow? 10:1, 5:1? Or is it more of a whatever falls type of thing?

This is going to be an amazing storm for you!! I'm still thinking the ice potential for your house down here and myself still looks good.

La Crosse has issued for their counties in Northeast Iowa. 6 inches of snow and up to a quarter inch ice. That snowfall seems a bit high unless you are very close to the border.

That gfs run would spell a sleet storm for the Waterloo area. Seems to be the only model that has the freezing rain much further south.

I'm even going to pffft to that. Still even a third of that would be significant.

Dmx suggesting warning criteria could be met for fzr/sleet. Could have convective elements, etc. I'm trying to stifle my excitement.

And we expect pictures!!
