We were at 80% chance of rain/snow mix for today as of last evening. Overnight update dropped it to 30% scattered drizzle for today and didn’t even get that.

Glad I didn't get any rain at least. I thought there was freezing drizzle earlier because my car was coated with ice this morning but it might've been from fog lol.

It appears Iowa City may be one of the last spots in the area to switch to snow.

Radar shows heavier snow building into Cedar rapids from the east.  The rate here has increased to moderate.

28.4° by Michigan City, moderate snow, very fine flakes, windy as heck...

SUMMARY...Heavy snowfall will gradually develop this evening with
   rates generally in the 1.0-1.5 inches per hour range.  Localized
   heavier bursts briefly exceeding 1.5 inches per hour are possible.

   DISCUSSION...Radar mosaic early this evening shows a broad
   precipitation shield across the middle MS Valley spreading
   northeastward into the southern Great Lakes.  Water-vapor imagery
   shows a potent mid-level shortwave trough migrating east-northeast
   from the Ozarks and this feature will reach east-central IL by
   midnight.  

   Strong isentropic lift is contributing to increasing precipitation
   rates across central IL early this evening.  As this zone of ascent
   strengthens during the next 1-2 hours and heavier precipitation
   moves northeast from central IL, the onset of heavier snowfall rates
   will likely occur from near the MS River east into the south and
   west suburbs of Chicago.  Initially, a mixed precipitation type may
   occur on the southern fringe of the MCD area (south of Chicago)
   before changing to all snow later this evening.  By mid evening,
   model guidance indicates the heaviest snow will extend from northern
   IL east into northwest IN.  The heaviest rates (1.0-1.5 inches per
   hour) will probably overspread Chicago and south suburbia during the
   8pm-12am CST period.

The switch here looks to finally come about 2 hours later than forecast due to mesoscale screwage in johnson county. The models will be too generous with our snow because of it. A solid half inch or so of sleet down. So wonderful

2021-22 Snowfall: (Hiawatha)

TOTAL: 10.2"

(12/28: 3.0") (12/29: 0.8") 

(1/1: 6.4")

That's pretty unlucky.  Those 1 or 2 degrees can really screw up a storm.

Snowing really hard here in the city! Super low visibility and the wind has picked up. The radar looks awesome too!!! 😍

Chicago? Radar looks fantastic for some very heavy snowfall rates there ~9-11pm.

The snow began here around 7pm.  By 9pm I'll have about an inch.

Radar shows the precip weakening quite a bit across southeast Iowa.  The snow rate is going to drop down to light for most of us.

The overnight, north-south deformation band is taking shape over east-central Iowa, filling in across the Iowa City area.

+SN being reported at ORD with 1/4 mi viz...it is amazing outside!  3-4” down locally.  Winds are very gusty out of the East.

3.5” down on my driveway and the snow is not nearly as wet as it was being advertised.  It’s rather easy to shovel.

A bright green band has formed over Cedar Rapids.  This is the heaviest the snow has been all night.

I just went out and measured 2".

This snow is not wet at all.  It’s blowing and drifting quite easily with 30mph wind gusts.  I can see drifts forming outside on my walkways and over my snow piles.  I was going to shovel tonight but I’ll wait till morning daylight.

The HRRR has shifted the good band of snow west of Cedar Rapids, a couple hours from now, where it stays the rest of the event.

I got a dusting!

My potential future home of Janesville, WI is looking pretty good right now...


I wouldn’t be opposed to staying in Lincoln after graduation, but also craving to look at opportunities in MI,WI, and MN

Really pathetic 1.1" just measured. I had higher expectations. 3.5" measured in Hiawatha meanwhile.

Yeah, Johnson county got the shaft from this one.  Meanwhile, I must be up to around 3".  This good band is finally thinning and probably about to weaken.  The rest of the storm should be no more than 1-2".

I'm up to 3.1" at 1 am.  The snow is not the wet, sloppy stuff I was afraid of.  It helped that the surface temp remained near to below freezing during the rain and a solid glaze formed on surfaces.
