brianc400 Posted January 30, 2021 Report Share Posted January 30, 2021 It started up about an hour ago here. The wind is picking up and the snow is blowing already. This should be interesting in a couple hours. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Posted January 30, 2021 Report Share Posted January 30, 2021 Temp is holding steady at 30F and the snow is blowing off the roofs. It is a wetter variety but the strong gusty winds are blowing it around easily. This isn't even the main event as the deep moisture is about 1-2 hours away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East Dubzz Posted January 30, 2021 Report Share Posted January 30, 2021 After all that drizzle, I’m hearing some noise on the window. Assuming that has to be some sleet mixed in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawkeye Posted January 31, 2021 Report Share Posted January 31, 2021 Still sleet here, so the models are a bit too aggressive with the changeover. We can probably chop an inch off our snow total because of this.

Stormy Posted January 31, 2021 Report Share Posted January 31, 2021 (edited) Still all rain here so far. Wasn’t cold enough for much ice accrual, but also didn’t get quite as warm as forecasted. Right at 32° still. Once it refreezes I’ll have 2 layers of glacier, or three layers with more wet snow. I probably had around 0.30” of rain so far.

Hawkeye Posted January 31, 2021 Report Share Posted January 31, 2021 A few flakes are beginning to mix in here on the west side. The latest HRRR has 1.2" of snow falling by 7pm, which is clearly wrong, so we can chop at least that much off its 5.9" total for CR. I'd be happy with 3-4". 1 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...
whatitdo Posted January 31, 2021 Report Share Posted January 31, 2021 Initial call of 4-6 inches for kzoo yesterday is going to bust. Nws hourly forecast only shows up to 2 inches. If I get 3 with being able to see some flakes fly at daybreak, ill be happy. It’s looking less and less likely though.

Hawkeye Posted January 31, 2021 Report Share Posted January 31, 2021 DVN radar correlation coefficient is spot on. It's currently showing the snow line crashing south through Cedar Rapids.
