Hawkeye Posted January 12, 2019 Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 I just measured 3.4" at 2:15. Should coast our way to 4.0". Surprised for sure. I should hit 4" at 3pm.

Hawkeye Posted January 12, 2019 Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 I don't think we're going to make 5". After the 4.6" measurement the rate dropped considerably. Now, it's barely snowing.

ToastedRavs Posted January 13, 2019 Report Share Posted January 13, 2019 20 miles between Des Moines airport and Indianola, Iowa. I am basically in the middle, yet further west. Anyways, Indianola has 7.2, I am at 6.1 and airport at 5.3. Northern parts of Des Moines at 4.4. While southern Iowa got near or over a foot. Models did pretty well all things considered for the Des Moines metro. Although the 12+ totals weren't predicted. Sadly this total nearly tripled my total from this winter so far, so I will gladly take it! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was concerned with the short range models were showing nothing for here. looks like the NAM did a really good job Dittos for here. Last night only 1 SR model RGEM had any snow here at all. Peeps say ignore globals and ride SR models yet the EC and GFS both showed snow and were correct. Measured the 1/2" I posted about earlier and still lightly snowing. Went to Kzoo and even I-94 was snow covered due to a slow response by MDOT. Don't think they were expecting anything tbh. GRR this morning had lowered my chances of snow to 40% so I wasn't expecting it tbh. Got a bone tossed my way tho so no complaints. With the wind blowing snow off the roofs of buildings and stinging my face it really felt like January. Also, while all the Marshall plow piles from Nov disappeared with that last warm rainer there was actually still a 10 ft pile at a store lot in Kzoo from the November storm.
