bud2380 Posted November 25, 2018 Report Share Posted November 25, 2018 Just a 5 mile drive south of where I live it is snowing heavily and roads are 100% snow covered. There's a good inch already on the ground in Iowa City. in North Liberty we have light snow with some snow sticking to the grass, but roads are just wet. 5 miles is the cutoff line from heavy snow to light snow. 5 more miles north of me there is hardly any snow. Wow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bud2380 Posted November 25, 2018 Report Share Posted November 25, 2018 The heavier snow band has been parked over Iowa City for hours now. It's just ever so slightly moving north. But it remains just light snow in North Liberty, maybe brief bursts of moderate snow. I just measured 1/2" on my deck. The snow is still not sticking to the roads here.

jaster220 Posted November 25, 2018 Report Share Posted November 25, 2018 Fellow Marshall poster on Amwx: Fun storm to watch unfold. Bad storm to have weak warning to the public that heavy snow is on the way (GRR). I’m going to write them in NWSChat and mention the latest 12z model suit and their thinking. IMO we need a WSW for at least the I-96 - I-94 counties ENE.

Beware anyone to the east riding that north edge. You're likely to be on the wrong side of happy. Crazy storm. just missed out on a historic one here. The north edge is crazy sharp. It's hard to believe the snow has stopped in North Liberty, given they are still on the edge of the yellow on radar. There are no reports from Iowa City yet, but the UofI cam suggests at least 2" per hour, as heavy as I've ever seen on that cam. Of course, here in Cedar Rapids we haven't and won't see a single flake.
