Hawkeye Posted January 26, 2021 Report Share Posted January 26, 2021 Dallas and Guthrie counties, just west of Des Moines, are killing it. Meanwhile, I'm sitting here wondering if it will start snowing again at some point. I expected the snow to be permanent once it began (because that's what models consistently showed), but it's not working out that way. It's a bit odd that two real nice bands surged up through Cedar Rapids and saturated the atmosphere, but then the system basically reset so we have to start over.

I expected the snow to be permanent once it began (because that's what models consistently showed), but it's not working out that way. The dry air is winning. My guess is the continuous snow starts with this really big band moving into IC. That’s what radar shows at least. IC is outpacing the HRRR and CR is on pace with it. Morning runs only had a few tenths in CR thru 00z and about an inch in IC. 1 Quote 2021-22 Snowfall: (Hiawatha) TOTAL: 10.2" (12/28: 3.0") (12/29: 0.8") (1/1: 6.4") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormhunter87 Posted January 26, 2021 Report Share Posted January 26, 2021 The word of the day is deceptive. We may actually be pushing 10-11. We have three seniors that live in our building. One slipped earlier and I had to help him get up and into the building. Thankfully he seemed okay but wouldn't tell me either way lol. I decided to shovel a better path since the company that shovels haven't been by since 2pm. I also cleaned off the other seniors car and it definitely went up to mid shin.

Niko Posted January 26, 2021 Report Share Posted January 26, 2021 My radar is socked in w snow, but its virga, unfortunately. Snow should pick up in earnest towards midnite or so. Couple of inches forcasted for mby y'all (3-5"), which I will gladly accept. Who knows, maybe some overachievement.

snowstorm83 Posted January 26, 2021 Report Share Posted January 26, 2021 13"!!! at KLNK thru 6 pm. It has definitely surpassed the 13.2" from Oct 26 1997 so this will go down as the second snowiest calendar day since 1948. I will say I try to be conservative with how I measure and especially with this much snow it's hard to tell so I very well could have 13" 5 2 1 Quote Snowfall in Lincoln, NE: 2017-18: 21.4" 2018-19: 55.5" 2019-20: 17.6" 2020-21: 49.4" 2021-22: 5.1" Average: 26" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grizzcoat Posted January 26, 2021 Report Share Posted January 26, 2021 DMX out with new discussion. Basically the same areas getting (have been) snow globed will continue the heaviest rates/ Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Des Moines IA 725 PM CST Mon Jan 25 2021 ...Winter Storm Update... .UPDATE... Issued at 725 PM CST Mon Jan 25 2021 Moderate to heavy snowfall has been steady across much of central into southern Iowa as strong lift through the dendritic growth zone continues to make this event an efficient snowfall producer. As of early evening the axis of heaviest snowfall has contracted a little bit over central Iowa, but is still dumping snow at 1-1.5 inches per hour over locations in and around the DSM metro. RAP model suggests a few more hours of these heavier rates are possible with robust lift and supersaturation with respect to ice through the DGZ. Peak snowfall intensity wanes by later this evening, but light to moderate snow will linger overnight into Tuesday morning as the forecast area remains under a zone of mid- level confluence and positive PV advection aloft as the parent upper low is slow to push through. Dry air entrainment into the southern flank of the low may lead to a loss of ice in the cloud layer over far southern into southeast Iowa, which could flip ptypes over to freezing rain/drizzle. Short term model soundings barely hang on to snow, but will continue to monitor and update as needed. The heaviest storm totals will be focused from southwest Iowa to near the I-80 corridor in central Iowa. SLR reports suggest a higher SLR snow in this area compared to further south and east. The higher snowfall rates this evening mostly overlap the same locations that have seen heaviest snowfall so far, so expecting that we will see reports of a foot or more in some locations by Tuesday morning. Dry air continues to eat into the northern edge of this system, drastically limiting snowfall potential in northern Iowa. Some snowfall may eventually make it as far north as Algona and Mason City, but amounts will be light compared to the rest of the area.
