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. 2 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...

Hawkeye Posted January 31, 2021 Report Share Posted January 31, 2021 It appears Iowa City may be one of the last spots in the area to switch to snow. https://weather.cod.edu/satrad/nexrad/index.php?parms=DVN-N0C-1-12-100-usa-rad 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...

tbone8 Posted January 31, 2021 Report Share Posted January 31, 2021 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. ..Smith.. 01/31/2021 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hlcater Posted January 31, 2021 Report Share Posted January 31, 2021 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.

Hawkeye Posted January 31, 2021 Report Share Posted January 31, 2021 The snow began here around 7pm. By 9pm I'll have about an inch.
