1/8-1/10 Panhandle Hook

[Jayhawker85]

I must give it up to the GFS model for the win on this storm. It’ stayed steady with the southern track when ALL the other models pushed it further north. 
 

I’m glad everyone is happy with the snows they received!

[bud2380]

Gonna call this 7.3”. Got 6.5” on my lowest measurement and about 7.8” on my highest.

Second round moving through with temps at 33. Moderate snow.   Melting some though.  Grass is almost covered.  Roads are slushy.   Looks like a few hours of this could add up to a few inches.  

GRR's map has my place under 8-12", but a WWA ofc. Just another day of life in an obscure corner of their CWA. Feels just like old times

[Hawkeye]

I just measured 7.3".  Moderate to heavy bands are expanding over the Cedar Rapids area.

[BMT]

love the radar right now.  pure whiteout conditions with very heavy snow.  over 7" here as well.  

[StupidFlanders]

Woke up to not much snow on the ground. Light wet snow. I'm in Forest Park, IL right next to Oak Park. It's been raining most of the AM and we are right on the line of rain/snow for the radars but sadly getting the rain.

Wish it was snow. Here's to the weekend storm, I guess.

Saaaame. 5 miles west it’s snowing, but rain here! I’m so sad  hopefully it changes over again but I’m not holding my breath!

Yeah, this stinks. I was hoping to take my son out in the snow today. I drove a little west it's snowing. 

[Clinton]

Moderate to heavy snow continues to fall with a temp of 31 and winds beginning to blow snow around.  I just measured 5.3 inches, I could end up with 6 inches before it's finished.

[Hawkeye]

[Iowawx]

Have not measured yet, but there is a report of 9" in CR. The snow has really picked up in the past hour. 10" seems like a given here. 

[bud2380]

8.5”

Same up in the Gurnee, IL area.  Hoping the Friday/Saturday storm brings more whiteness.  

[Hawkeye]

1.3" in the last hour, up to 8.6".   Conditions have change dramatically over the last hour.  The snow has dried a bit and the wind has risen quite a bit, really blowing now, much more like a typical winter storm.

[East Dubzz]

It's coming down real good right now. I don't have the right location to take a measurement so I'm not even gonna mess with that on this one.

I was going to say, your last picture looks very much like a PNW snowstorm with wet snow sticking to everything. Not so much like a Midwest snowstorm where everything is blowing around with drifts and the trees are more bare. Figured it was only a matter of time until the Midwest-aspect kicked in.

[Grizzcoat]

10.9" as of Noon at KDSM

[Minny_Weather]

My view as I walked into work this morning. Once again, though my total from this storm wasn't impressive at all, at least it looks winter-y.

[Grizzcoat]

Looks like snow monster right through the heart of C.IA

[Clinton]

Some tweets from EAX today.

@NWSKansasCity

 

As of noon...storm total snowfall here at Pleasant Hill is 10.8". The storm total precip is 1.16" which is the normal precipitation for the entire moth of January. This will definitively help with the drought provided we ever see the ground again

 

@NWSKansasCity

 

As of noon...Kansas City has received 5.7" of snow and 0.79" of precipitation for this event.

 

[Cfweather]

Definitely overperformed in the Waterloo area.  Warning last night was for 5-9.  11 right now and still coming down.  Over a foot at my place -  slightly southwest of the Waterloo airport where the official totals are from

Yeah, you did well.  I was not expecting Waterloo to do nearly that well.

[shakjen]

Had an hour of mixed precip 11::30-12:30 but ripping snow now. 

[Grizzcoat]

I think 75% of those that frequent this thread over the past 5-6 days over performed. Incredible when you think about that.

this thing is a beast.

Awww  if it was 5 degrees colder we’d probably have some amazing totals right now! Fingers crossed for this next one, hope we aren’t too far west, if we get a snownut hole around us I’m literally going to scream

Total at MCI matches what most got, but wow, they cleaned up down there at the EAX office.

Heavy band of snow west of Chicago. Almost whiteout conditions.

[Grizzcoat]

[Jayhawker85]

Official total for Lawrence is 8 inches. 
 

Bring on round 2!

[Hawkeye]

9.2" now.  The patio actually accumulated another inch last hour, but, perhaps due to compaction, the snow board only rose another 0.6".

So glad you guys did good that’s awesome!! Iowa did great too. I officially ended with 11.5” just got done b clearing driveways.  Now time to go get some pictures!!

[FV-Mike]

Heavy snow in the western burbs. Just today makes up for the lackluster season last year

[Hawkeye]

Radar still looks great.  A moderate to heavy band continues to be parked over Cedar Rapids.

[bud2380]

Snow is waning a bit at my house.  I'm about 10 miles too far west for this current band of moderate to heavy snow.  The wind has picked up though and visibility is poor.  Measured 9.1" about 15 minutes ago.  I expect I'll get to 10" but probably not 11".  

[dubuque473]

Really came down the past few hours

[bud2380]

Looks like the SLP tracked right over STL.  Currently 982mb right near Indianapolis. 

 

[East Dubzz]

Pretty awesome to get this snowfall during the day. Snow sticking the trees looks majestic.

Congrats guys!  I ended up just under 6 inches, the wind is really ripping and blowing snow everywhere.  The band on the SE side of the metro just sat on them this morning and really produced.
