Hawkeye Posted February 15, 2021 Report Share Posted February 15, 2021 DVN's snow forecast graphic only has 1-2" for Burlington to the Quad Cities, but all the models have 4-5"... a real nice surprise for that area. I may see a dusting. I'd rather get nothing than have to shovel a few tenths. 3 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...

Thank you my friend! I'm in awe and thankful every day when I get up and witness such a deep beautiful snow pack. On the way to the gym this morning, driving along snow covered roads with powder flying sideways, I couldn't help but think back what I envisioned this pattern to be like. I'll be honest, in no way did I think we would have so many snow on snow events and witness many days with temps in the single digits and snow falling. It has really been a memorable stretch of winter. If we get anything close to what the models are showing for this storm, it will def look like the days of the late 70's where the city had piles upon piles of snow. I'm tickled with excitement and eager to see how this all plays out! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This should help in areal coverage and spread the wealth around multiple areas compared to just a single band. At the very least lake enhancement should be prime as we get going this afternoon into tomorrow. Downtown got hit pretty good with the first band it looks like. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
