Hawkeye Posted February 4, 2021 Report Share Posted February 4, 2021 This is awesome snow right now, about as good as it gets.... very large flakes, very dense, light wind. I bet this is at least 2"/hr rate. Northwestern Jones county (the county just east of CR) may get a few inches over the next hour. 2 2 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...

Hawkeye Posted February 4, 2021 Report Share Posted February 4, 2021 I have about an inch. It's very clumpy, so I have to average the peaks and valleys. As expected, the snow is quite wet.

gabel23 Posted February 4, 2021 Report Share Posted February 4, 2021 Congrats to you all getting a nice pounding! I measured 1.5" of snow and my depth is back up to 9" after about losing 4" to compaction and melting. Amazing what a small amount of snow can do. Snow has ended but here is what the drive into my town is like. Not as crazy as @Grizzcoat but still a winter wonderland!

St Paul Storm Posted February 4, 2021 Report Share Posted February 4, 2021 About 3.5" here. Might hit 4" before it's done. Reports of 6" NNW of the Cities. This was an overachiever! We'll take it.

Hawkeye Posted February 4, 2021 Report Share Posted February 4, 2021 Somehow, the Cedar Rapids airport is reporting 31º, but all other stations in the area, even surrounding the airport, are still 33º. My snow rate is pretty low now. I hope none of the stuff that has already fallen melts.

OmahaSnowFan Posted February 4, 2021 Report Share Posted February 4, 2021 Maybe 1/2-1" here. School was "cancelled" here. When I mean cancelled, it was cancelled for in person learning and they changed it to a remote day. I have to wonder if they will ever have snow days here again since they have the ability to always go remote from home. I'm pretty sure they would have had school today if this was pre-pandemic times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hlcater Posted February 4, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2021 It's currently snow in IC. Not sure how long it has been, but there's not a whole lot of accumulation so far. Temp is 34, which may make accumulation difficult to start. 2 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...

bud2380 Posted February 4, 2021 Report Share Posted February 4, 2021 Not that this matters now, but just for giggles, the GFS never backed down and even increased snow totals.

Yeah, the snow here has tapered down to a moderate level, and looks like it's not piling up quite as easily due to the near freezing temps.
