gimmesnow Posted January 18, 2023 Report Share Posted January 18, 2023 This is gonna be another huge disappointment, isn't it? 6 inches of snow will be great for snowboarding, but 3-4 isn't going to be good because of the earlier rain, it'll just be some wet snow on top of ice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grizzcoat Posted January 18, 2023 Report Share Posted January 18, 2023 same deal here just W of DSM-- cold rain. Wasting away the potential snow.

Grizzcoat Posted January 18, 2023 Report Share Posted January 18, 2023 I have to admit my failure in cutting down DMX forecast from this morning. MARTIN (the forecaster) was DEAD on. I was wrong in calling him out. IN fact- totals will likely be less than forecasted and I called them out for being too low. Kudos to the pros. They work for NWS for a reason-- and not me (thank goodness) 5 Quote The two loudest sounds known to man: a gun that goes bang when it is supposed to go click and a gun that goes click when it is supposed to go bang.

CentralNebWeather Posted January 18, 2023 Report Share Posted January 18, 2023 No school again tomorrow for us. Just cleared the driveway. Most snow I can remember clearing since the Feb. 1st Blizzard of 2016. Law enforcement reports of 12” or more. That seems right to me, but the wind is also causing some blowing and drifting.

Freezing level is dropping on DMX. The afternoon runs had kept Des Moines as rain through 00z and CR as rain until 01-02z. You probably wont see 6", but 3-4" is very possible for you I think. Still think 2-3" is reasonable here. Quote 2021-22 Snowfall: (Hiawatha) TOTAL: 10.2" (12/28: 3.0") (12/29: 0.8") (1/1: 6.4") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seen snowfall rates of one to 2 inches an hour for a solid four hours. Just when I thought the dry air would win out, we now have switched back over to heavy snow. roughly eye balling 5” here and hoping to continue to add to the amount. Hastings seem to think so. They had a great disco today. Glad you did well! Elsewhere, likely looking at another 1-3hr of hvy snow for most areas between Hwy 6 and Hwy 92. By 6-7PM, the best snw accums will have shifted to areas along and N of Hwy 92 where another 3-4" will be possible. Areas along I-80 can expect about another 1-2". When all is said and done, based on current reports and ideas outlined above...think a significant portion of the CWA along and north of a line from HDE to GRI to OLU will have 12-18" of snow, perhaps higher in the ODX area. Even Hastings, which was essentially snow free thru noon, may wind up with 10-12", which would be very impressive. No other way to put it besides saying this is one of the most intense bursts of snow this forecaster has experienced in this area - particularly in terms of snow rates AND duration of high snow rates.

All of my work clearing the driveway and sidewalks is now being covered back up. Forecast went from virtually nothing to now possibly up to 3”.
