dubuque473 Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 Hard to tell what I have so far but we picked up a decent amount, nothing crazy. With these 2 snowfalls, chance of record lows Thursday, chance of a clipper on Friday...sitting on a nice snowpack. I am happy. 1 Quote Dubuque 2007-2008 Winter 78.1" Total snowfall February Snowfall 32.5" City salt usage : 12,211 tons Days of measurable snow : 40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VMB443 Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 Snowing now really good. Was wrong on my earlier estimate - I’d say we had a good three to three and a half already. Schools haven’t been closed, we’ll see if that ends up being a mistake. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 When I went to bed last night, the massive flakes switched to light rain around 10:15pm. After looking at the radar loop, it didn't look like much rain fell throughout the night. However, to my delight, I'm waking up to big snow flakes falling from the sky! Pretty lucky to be getting snow falling right now as I thought for sure I'd be getting rain. Measured a little over 1" of slop...hoping to score a couple inches from this main wave of snow through the morning hours. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a turnaround us peeps in the heartland have enjoyed since Winter finally decided to arrive around Jan 11th. #BuildTheGlacier...even though we have not seen that "Bomb" cyclone this month, we have been in the right spot to track winter storms. Ready for more??? As for MBY, I haven't measured exactly, but from the freezing drizzle yesterday and the quick 1" of snow, my snow pack is about 7-8" I'd say. I'll take a measurement later today. I'm thrilled that it's snowing this morning and thankful Mother Nature has decided to have the SLP track just south of the city. Check out how close it is tracking across the south side of Chicago. Winds have turned out of the N and this map clearly shows where the SLP is located. https://earth.nullschool.net/#current/wind/isobaric/1000hPa/orthographic=-90.76,40.66,3000 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawkeye Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 Only 3.8 inches in my yard. What a joke of a storm. Instead of being in the bulls-eye, as the models predicted, I ended up in the anti-bulls-eye. We spent half the last day in dry pockets within the very patchy deformation zone.

Minny_Weather Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 Super confused because KLNK only measured 1.7". I'm going to guess that's an error going to be corrected later because even if you measured in the lowest spot possible you would have to get twice that...OAX tweeted 1.8" out. If they run with that then whoever measures at KLNK needs to be fired on the spot. They're always hot garbage with wind-driven events but the discrepancy has never been THIS bad. 1 Quote Formerly *ahem*: LNK_Weather, TOL_Weather, FAR_Weather, MSP_Weather, IMoveALot_Weather.
