Welcome, Sparky!  I was hoping you would find this forum and post your observations from sw of Iowa City.  (You probably know I was Dan-CR on Schnack's chat).

Post-mortem final storm totals map out of GRR. I count no fewer than 12 counties that should've been a Watch-to-Warning scenario based solely on snowfall in a 12 hr window. I feel cheated out of the pink label headline..once again. Will throw my protest letter on the growing pile I have over the past few years (sigh)

Your NWS office makes me appreciate how good mine is.  WOW!

I will add that as suspected the best stuff was just one county north. Initially felt that rates and dynamics would combine to pull that 540 line that 30 miles south much quicker than what happened. Probably a combination of several things happening at once. The storm was losing strength and dynamics weren't like they were west of here. The "cold" air wasn't a January arctic mass, and the WAA was able to stall off the transition and temp drop by a good 2-3 hrs. Oh well, other than my peeve with the NWS office, generally happy because we did get a decent snowstorm when all was said and done.

Hi everyone.... this is my first time posting on here though I've been lurking on this forum for several years already. It seems I'm to busy to keep up with all the comments so decided I don't have time to figure out this site or post anything either, plus I had problems logging in. I also used to be on Schnack's chat and I'm sure Hawkeye knows me yet! I live approximately 15 miles sw of downtown Ia City. I just wanted to comment belatedly that I was in the jack zone from this snowstorm (just barely) and ended up with right around 12"!! Liquid equivalent 1.63" includes 0.20" rain before changeover. A good old fashioned snowstorm for sure! Looks and feels like mid winter.

Welcome Sparky.
