Hawkeye Posted January 15, 2018 Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 The system overperformed in central Iowa and underperformed here a bit. I finished with 1.5 inches from 0.10" of liquid... so 15 to 1 ratio. Oddly, DVN's late evening graphic upgraded us to 3-4 inches for some reason.

Grizzcoat Posted January 15, 2018 Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 2.1" here just W of DSM. Way under done by the NWS which makes up for the bogus WSW last week when less then 1" fell.

Tom Posted January 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 how much has ORD reported? Edit... nevermind just saw 1.8 as of 7 amI looked at the past radar trends and the bands of snow were weakening just as they approached my area and literally a county to my west cashed in on the higher totals.

Hawkeye Posted January 15, 2018 Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 This was kind of a let down system. I finished with 1.7 inches for a total. The corridor from Waterloo through our area got the least amount, while a band farther west and south got more. Oh well, it's just a quick-moving nighttime clipper.

East Dubzz Posted January 15, 2018 Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 Think about 2.5” was the amount around Dubuque. That’s not official, but based on local observations and a measurement with my finger, that’s a rough estimate. Alright, unless we’re going to get bombarded with a big storm, enough of these systems.
