Tom Posted December 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 It started snowing here just after 9:00am. Temps overnight hovered around the freezing mark. Once the snow started, it began accumulating on the deck/grass/elevated surfaces. Surprised this little system keeps increasing snow totals. Hope this is a sign of things to come! Gosh I miss snow! Nice bigger/fatter flakes falling as well which makes it nice to see.

Tom Posted December 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 Nice to hear a lot of us on here getting some good snowfall. Gotta say, this system wasn't looking nearly as impressive as this thing is turning out to be. Too bad its going to warm up to near 40F next couple days.

Hawkeye Posted December 4, 2016 Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 3.5" here, maybe another 1 to go. We seem to have exited the better flake growth region, as our moderate size flakes have become fairly small. I'd have loved to be under that yellow band this morning in the Quad Cities. 1 Quote season snowfall: 34.8" '22-23: 30.2" '21-22: 27.1" '20-21: 52.5" '19-20: 36.2" '18-19: 50.2" '17-18: 39.5" Average snowfall: ~30" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westMJim Posted December 4, 2016 Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 Waiting for the snow to move in. The Temperature here is 38° and the reading at the airport is 36° the DP is 25° so that should bring down the temperature once the snow starts here. Also with the later start time the snow should continue until after sun set and that should add to the total (if we can get the temperature down) on the other hand it has not been below freezing here since November 23rd so the ground is still “warm” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
