3/9 - 3/10 Major Plains/W GL's Cutter

I'm actually really glad this wasn't a snow event now. We spent most of the storm in a monster dry slot. The dry slot works to our favor cuz we didn't need rain. There's a bit of ponding from whatever fell before sunrise but nothing major and some of that may be snowmelt.

This system has been kind of a dud down here as well.  For days, all models had 0.70-1.00" of rain falling across eastern Iowa.  We didn't even get a half inch, less than any run of any model has ever shown.  The main band moved through too quickly, and the second band crapped out before reaching the area.  In addition, the temp has been stuck in the 33-35º range today, not the upper 30s some models suggested.  It looks like barely any snow melted... an inch at most.

season snowfall: 34.8"

'22-23: 30.2"      '21-22: 27.1"      '20-21: 52.5"      '19-20: 36.2"      '18-19: 50.2"      '17-18: 39.5"

Average snowfall: ~30"

33.5F and rain here despite ASOS reporting "Light Snow" for the past 2 hrs lol. Winds are the big news here. Very tropical storm-like evening out there aside from the temps. Per radar it looks like some more thump snows for NMI this evening.

Well this is kinda a disaster. We had a bit of ZR a couple hours ago. Combine that with flash frozen snowmelt and wet roads from earlier and roads are a complete circus right now. Worst part is people don't even know the roads are icy until they're up on the curb. I feel lucky to have made it home from the hockey game in one piece.

Was a nice wind-driven rainer if only to get all the salt washed off from the recent binge of stat-padding dusters.
