Tom Posted December 28, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2021 The only concern I have here are the warm ground temps which will melt the snow from underneath once all sudden done. It is looking likely that a solid 2-4" event for our seasons 1st snowfall. Hopefully this is a start of good things to come. The fact that this will be a daytime event makes it more enjoyable as well. 0z EPS... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bud2380 Posted December 28, 2021 Report Share Posted December 28, 2021 Snow just started in the last 2 minutes here. Already sticking to the bare ground spots. It's a light snow right now, but based on radar it looks like it'll get heavier. Should be a fun morning. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GRR thinks no advisory (warmer temps and weakening as it moves through here), even though snow is falling during the evening commute. Side roads are still icy/not plowed from previous event. But they are calling for up to 3" with 1-2" widespread. The office is schizo. It's a watch and see event and I bet we see an advisory if the radar trends that way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawkeye Posted December 28, 2021 Report Share Posted December 28, 2021 Radar shows the mixing line already north of Iowa City and approaching Cedar Rapids. Some models have suggested that line could stall for a bit just south of CR, so hopefully they are correct. It's possible this could be a system where Hiawatha (north edge of Cedar Rapids) get 3-4" while I get 1-2" on the west side of CR and the airport gets <1".

bud2380 Posted December 28, 2021 Report Share Posted December 28, 2021 Looks like I was 15-20 miles too far south for this one.
