Iowawx Posted March 9, 2023 Report Share Posted March 9, 2023 I'd say about 2" so far in CR. A report of 4" in Iowa City. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormy Posted March 9, 2023 Report Share Posted March 9, 2023 Just measured again and surprised it's adding up as much as it did. I'm up to 4" and some spots it's nearing 5" on the grass and frozen part of the driveway. It's so heavy and wet there's barely any drifting despite a decent wind. Chunks are dropping off the trees because of melting. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormy Posted March 9, 2023 Report Share Posted March 9, 2023 I'm thinking it will probably quit accumulating with the lull or lighter snow that's moving in unless redevelopment quickly increases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's pretty impressive considering how the models have overhyped everything this season and how these March snowstorms almost always end up massively disappointing. I'm just hoping most of this falls after the ski hill closes so I can wake up and make some fresh tracks. It's sticking pretty well up here in grass and stuff, took a while to start on the streets. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
