bud2380 Posted March 24, 2018 Report Share Posted March 24, 2018 Dry slot about to move in here. That’s gonna kill snow accumulations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hlcater Posted March 24, 2018 Report Share Posted March 24, 2018 HRRR has us getting 12 more inches. Can’t say I buy that. Might even get dry slotted. Fitting. No idea how much we have. Upon inspection, it looks to be 4-5”. Been several bouts of sleet though, go figure.

bud2380 Posted March 24, 2018 Report Share Posted March 24, 2018 We have about 2.5” of concrete here. Snow really picking up right now with big flakes. Too bad that dry slot is about to take over. Some big snow totals in isolated spots. 7” in Monticello and 4.9” in Lone Tree which is south of Iowa City which is odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hlcater Posted March 24, 2018 Report Share Posted March 24, 2018 For some reason I still have a bit of sleet mixing in as well, despite CC saying there is no sleet. Makes no sense.

james1976 Posted March 24, 2018 Report Share Posted March 24, 2018 Surprised that temps are in the upper 20's near Waterloo while just east you guys have mixed precip. James' place is getting crushed right now. I think that area will be the winners as temps are colder with better fluff factor.One of the biggest snowstorms to ever hit my area and i have to be out of state.

hlcater Posted March 24, 2018 Report Share Posted March 24, 2018 Interesting that Vinton only has 2.5" I would be sure they'd have more than that. Also looks like the pivot point is along hwy-20 in west central iowa. Looks like we're gonna be fighting a dry slot while that band comes back south, if it comes back south 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...
bud2380 Posted March 24, 2018 Report Share Posted March 24, 2018 Snow has filled in a bit to my west. Looks like the dry slot will hold off for now but accumulations are hard to come by right now. Temp right at 32 and windy is not making for much accumulation. We maybe got another 1/2” now to be around 3”. Not sure we can get more than 2” more on the ground unless snow rates start to really pick up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bud2380 Posted March 24, 2018 Report Share Posted March 24, 2018 Sure looks like we’re gonna miss out on the pivot down here. Double whammy if that happens.

Hawkeye Posted March 24, 2018 Report Share Posted March 24, 2018 Well, this is a complex storm. I went to sleep at 2am, with a batch of sleet moving in, confident this would be a bust. While it was obvious a few models failed to see the warm wedge pushing the heavy snow north and east, and we aren't going to see the real big totals that were possible, it's still a decent storm. I had about 4 inches a couple hours ago, and we've had at least another inch since then. For a while, an hour ago, while I was outside blowing, it was aboslute pound town and near blizzard. Radar has filled in again, but it's not snowing that hard now. Of course the Mason City area would get crushed. They've had many foot+ biggies up there in the past. Of course the bullseye veers and misses us. I may never see a foot of snow in my entire life. 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...
bud2380 Posted March 24, 2018 Report Share Posted March 24, 2018 It’s accumu much better than I realized here. I went in the back yard and took several measurements. Got between 4-7” with an average of 5” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St Paul Storm Posted March 24, 2018 Report Share Posted March 24, 2018 Money’s call of max 4-6”/5-7” didn’t pan out so well. Congrats to those cashing in on this. Very impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bud2380 Posted March 24, 2018 Report Share Posted March 24, 2018 I pray this lull doesn’t last long. If this fills back in and pivots well get 3-5” more and finish with 8-10”. I’d be very impressed with that 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawkeye Posted March 24, 2018 Report Share Posted March 24, 2018 We're approaching midday now, so I hope we can keep the rates up enough to counteract the sun.

Hawkeye said he had 5-6” so 8” is a lock there. I might already be running up on 8”, but I’m not sure how optimistic that is, I might be over guessing. Bud should get at least 6” I would think.

Iowawx Posted March 24, 2018 Report Share Posted March 24, 2018 Airport total in CR so far is 6.3. I’m thinking 8-12 looks like a good bet based on radar. When I looked at map at 10:30am the airport had 5.0 so it seems to be falling at about an inch per hour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hlcater Posted March 24, 2018 Report Share Posted March 24, 2018 I just saw that and thought the same. I'm just hoping for 8".I think 8" is a lock here. Like I said, I already have 7-8" although the blowing has made it somewhat difficult to estimate and measure. Someone in far SW CR is only reporting 3.5-4". Absolutely insane gradient even in Linn County alone. Coggon and Prairieburg are easily at 8" by now.
