Hawkeye Posted January 24, 2020 Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 Models are crapping out the eastern Iowa bands over the next few hours, but they actually keep the enhanced band over central Iowa going through afternoon.

Hawkeye Posted January 24, 2020 Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 There's a pretty good band of snow from nw of Cedar Rapids down to south-central IA. It actually strengthened as it moved away from me. I don't think I'll get much more. 1 Quote 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" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Light to moderate snow falling with a temp of 32. Same around here last Saturday. Congrats buddy on scoring. Hope you're enjoying on behalf of those of us "riding the bench". Perhaps SSR trends will go my way at the very tail end here.

bud2380 Posted January 24, 2020 Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 yeah, saw the 4" report in North Liberty. I measured just over 3" on top of my car, which certainly had melted and compacted some, but i hadn't cleared my driveway very well from the 2" we got on Wednesday so I couldn't measure there. So about 6" or so for the week, not bad at all. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bud2380 Posted January 24, 2020 Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 The 00z Euro was right on the mark for the snow overnight into this morning in Eastern Iowa. So definitely can't dismiss it in short terms just because it's a global model. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bud2380 Posted January 24, 2020 Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 with the 4" today my season total is up to 23.2". 4 times this year I have received ~ 4" of snow. Incredible how 4" seems to be the max we get anymore. 4.7" on 10/30 remains the most on the season, also incredible that an October snow could end up being my highest individual event. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indianajohn Posted January 24, 2020 Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 PLEASE VERIFY!!!!!Nearly all the global models want to paint a bullseye of the heaviest precip over in N IL/SE WI. Some of this qpf is plain rain from today, but then it switches over the SN after about 6:00pm in NE IL. I've never seen a pivot of such an intense defo band the models are painting and the slow movement. Gosh, I can't help but think what a difference it would make to have it just a few degrees colder! I'd say there is about .40-.50 qpf of RN on the 00z Ukie before the switchovr happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it played out about as favorably as it could have. I was guessing 3-4" for the combined total, so 6" is pretty good. My area has been just cold enough to get nearly all snow and the second wave's defo band backed sufficiently far northwest to drop good precip here. 3 Quote 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" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Stormy Posted January 24, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 Here are a few pics. My liquid equivalent from 4" of snowfall was 0.42". A bit of it was melting when it started last eve so about 10:1 ratio. My core samples were a bit lower, but I don't always trust those when temps are marginal or there is a bit of mixture. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hlcater Posted January 24, 2020 Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 I'd say we currently have ~8" down in Iowa City.

Stormy Posted January 24, 2020 Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 I got around 6.2" now from both waves which is much better than I expected. The models did well for my area for a change. I guess my January total is over 10" now. Last evening I noticed my January '19 total was over 21" which was my highest January total of my records which I hadn't realized or forgot about it! This is the kind of snow that kids can have fun in. It really packs and it's not so crazy cold. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Paul Storm Posted January 24, 2020 Report Share Posted January 24, 2020 Light snow again here this afternoon. I always enjoy the snow that rotates in from the east. It’s usually a fluffy, wetter snow it seems. 3 days of snowfall this week. While none of them were significant, I’m pretty sure I’d take this all winter even if it meant no big dogs. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
