New Year’s Hard Cutter

94 was a slush-fest with +MIX on my NYD commute. Multiple incidents. A true ditch party day.

Wow. Complete snoozefest on this 2nd wave on local forecasts stations here atm. Gotta think they rev up forecast totals soon

GRR saying it will be moisture starved because waves 1 and 2 weren't.

We’ve picked up 4” since 6:30 here in northern lower Michigan, Higgins Lake, crazy because we were only supposed to get 1-2” total. Snowmobiling should be great tomorrow! Happy new year!

Check that, up to 5 1/2-6” already since 6:00 ish and still snowing! Awesome overachiever storm!

Radar suggested the mix hung in all day east of Iowa City.  It was mostly a junk storm with a few lucky locations picking up 2-4 inches.

So crazy. I totally lucked out. It was all snow here all day. 2” was my total. Very pretty picturesque day.

Looks wintry outside and very icy. Never switched over to rain, just freezing drizzle. I'd say about an inch fell, or maybe very close to it just by looking at my patio. Everything is snow covered w a layer of glaze, crunchy ice on top of it. Will get more snow tanite as the back edge slides through my area and proving a 1-3inch accumulation. Morning scenery should be a nice one. Luv the fact that a decent snowevent follows 24 hours later ( no mixing this time). 😀

Stepped out of work to pound town wet snow. By the time I made my way around the car swiping off the 1.5" my windshield was covered again. Was in that weenie band for about 12 miles and 94 was a mess. Thankfully light traffic due to the holiday. Got towards home here and disappointed to see only a coating. Nothing like 15 miles in every direction making a difference between decent snow fall and chump change. It's really getting old. I see radar and that great action half a county west literally falls apart as it heads this way. When will we get a real snow event here, Idk? Tom, how'd you finish up? At least it didn't get above freezing here. Hard to tell at night but looked like trees had some ice. Not enough to weigh down branches which is a good thing.

ORD ended up with a whopping 1.3" when I for sure thought we would squeeze out at least 3" (on the safe side) from what the avg of all the models were showing.  That warm nose crept about 50-75 miles farther north than expected.  It ended up going as far north as parts of SE WI (Sheboygan/MKE area 4-5") which wasn't modeled until the nowcast moment.  They ended up getting 3-5" and I think some of that was lake enhancement.  We just didn't have the deep cold air in place to make it happen.  End result, places in S WI got a surprise overachiever, as well as, one of our members in S MI who reported 5-6".  Hey, the silver lining is that we finished with some "new" snow to cover up the "old" snow.  

On a positive note, Topeka/KS region got their first decent plowable snowfall in a long time.  It looks like a solid 3-6" band set up right through E KS.  Not only did they do well, but the hot spot OKC area got hit with yet ANOTHER snowstorm (6-10") and we shouldn't forget about our Lone Star state that got slammed with up to a Foot in parts of W TX.  Crazy storm.  I guess we'll have to see this part of the LRC cycle back in mid Feb.  Till next time...

I survived the warm-nosed and dry-slot dusting of 01/01/2021. Lol.

What a way to kick off the new year all around me. I'm so glad. Many folks needed some snow and some fun and I'm glad to see everyone having a blast. That's what it's all about. 

Parts of okc and west are already a foot plus on the snow season. That's nuts.

I got back from TN. on Saturday evening already. They had a pretty bad ice storm north of St Louis where I saw plenty of tree limbs down. Not that much snow till we got to Iowa. One of the first things I did was measure Friday’s snowfall and it was only 1.8”. Maybe it settled some, but it shouldn’t have melted. It was a very wet snow ranging from 0.34” to 0.41” liquid from 4 core samples and around 0.38” from the gauge catch. Also a bit of sleet and zr as well.
