Gosaints gonna need a yardstick

[Money]

That's a ton of heavy convection developing in northern Iowa

[james1976]

You are gonna be in the defo zone the entire system.

[Money]

Down to 32 degrees now

[james1976]

Dry air killing it for the cities. Wow. They were in the zone yesterday

[Grizzcoat]

SVR Thunderstorm near ATLantic IA--- quarter size hail

[GDR]

Gosaints is going to be buried in

[Bellona]

Sleetstorm here!!! Thunder and lots of wind too!

[Hawkeye]

A line of cells with small hail passed through here late this evening, so I at least got something interesting from this system.  The rest of the night looks pretty quiet.

[Money]

gosaints, how's the storm??

[gosaints]

More thundersnow... Eyeballing between 6 and 8 now...

[Snowshoe]

Awoke to thunder, sleet and freezing rain here in the Wisconsin Dells. Tried to capture the action in video.

RAP/HRRR show another 7-9 inches for you this aft

[bud2380]

The surface low is in northeast Missouri which is normally a good spot for central and eastern Iowa, but there is no precip with the low. It sure appears that many in warnings and advisories got much less snow than anticipated. The defo band doesn't seem overly impresssive either. Maybe a couple more inches from that for most. DMX says 1-4" more especially towards the Minnesota border.

[Madtown]

...dry air wins again...?

[gosaints]

Many measurements this morning. 10 is my best guess. many reports in rochester over double digits

[St Paul Storm]

0.0" here in St Paul. My call of 2-4" a few days ago was WAY too high. Congrats gosaints.

[james1976]

Half inch of slop here. Major bust

[gosaints]

Defo band while not.looking overly impressive should bump us to a foot or more

[Tom]

Had a severe thunderstorm wake me up at 4:30am with loud claps of thunder and hail hitting my skylight.  The February to Remember continues to impress...

[Tom]

Slow moving defo band in E NE looks like it may drop a couple inches.  Temps are in the mid 20's show it should accumulate pretty good.

[Tom]

Is it coming down pretty good near OMA/LNK???  Would assume its more powdery snow with temps in the mid 20's.

[jcwxguy]

It's not that heavy at all in Lincoln, at least where I am

[NEJeremy]

It just started snowing again lightly here. It's been fun to watch the 30+dbz returns fade away as it makes it's way to Omaha. I'm guessing won't be too impressive. sigh....

[Tom]

Only 1-2" reports in NE IA and 12" near Rochester, MN...talk about a tight gradient...

Pretty light here in omaha. 2" on the grassy areas, roads are mainly wet with frozen slush on side streets. Ground temps were just too high to support much accumulation.

 

I'd be surprised if we get another inch out of this band.

[Jaycee]

Ripping pretty good here in NW Lincoln. Parking lot at work is an ice rink.

[james1976]

[gabel23]

I haven't taken my official measurement but did go out and measure 5" in the grass. This one storm matched my season total to date.

[james1976]

Defo band is crawling

[gimmesnow]

Wow, wunderground and weather channel changed today's rain to snow for me, and it's going to be cold enough to blow snow over the weekend. I guess I can stop being such a cranky old man now.

[NEJeremy]

this band is definitely over performing for us I'd say. Still coming down pretty hard. It's not sticking on the roads but on the grass is definitely piling up. The heavier returns keep redeveloping over town and there has been some redevelopment to the north of us as well that will drop down

And someone was complaining its fading away as it reached the Omaha dome...

[Tom]

Looks like the defo band keeps redeveloping over NE...

It's probably snowing the hardest it has all season right now and it's been doing that for a good 20-30 minutes. Fat flakes and a stiff north wind!

[gabel23]

I ended up with 5" but it compacted to about 3" on my snowboard. Biggest snow of the season, hopefully next winter we can get some decent snows early in the season as this wont stick around for long.

[Tom]

Detroit about to get rocked by a severe T-storm...hunker down Niko!

[St Paul Storm]

Some of those t-warned cells in northern lower MI are heading right into sub 32F temps. That looks wild on radar.

[Money]

Freezing drizzle causing a mess on roads here

 

Accidents all over and they are closing a lot of roads

[St Paul Storm]

Amazing gradient of the snow in S MN south of the TC metro. Kenyon, MN received 15.2" while Farmington 25 miles north of there got nothing.
