OttumwaSnomow Posted January 1, 2022 Report Share Posted January 1, 2022 I would say its under performing here. No snow + at all. Light to occasionally moderate. But with temp 5.1F its stacking up. About 4.2.. difficult to measure with drifting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bud2380 Posted January 1, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2022 It’s remarkable how Cedar Rapids always outperforms Johnson county. Even when all guidance said otherwise. I’m not even mad at all. It snowed all day here and it’s beautiful. We got all I need, but it honestly never fails. Congrats to those up in Linn County getting a surprisingly high total. Always fun to overperform expectations 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye Posted January 1, 2022 Report Share Posted January 1, 2022 I certainly did not expect a dry slot to lift up through Ottumwa this afternoon. Models showed nothing but moderate to heavy snow through evening down there. 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...
bud2380 Posted January 1, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2022 The radar appears to be now taking on more of a west to east orientation. The dry line appears to have stopped advancing about a county south of me. Based on TWCs future radar it will continue to snow until 10pm here. Another couple inches would be very likely if that’s the case. Could get to 6”. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westMJim Posted January 1, 2022 Report Share Posted January 1, 2022 Getting light to at times moderate snow here at this time. I took a snow fall measurement and there is now 3/4" of new snow fall. The current temperature here at my house is now 24. The driveway and road are snow covered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawkeye Posted January 2, 2022 Report Share Posted January 2, 2022 This last band was not as heavy as I expected, and it pushed through rather quickly. The snow should taper off quite a bit after this band, with just pockets of light snow for an hour or two.

gabel23 Posted January 2, 2022 Report Share Posted January 2, 2022 2” here which is way better than nothing. Seems like this might be a year where we struggle to get anything meaningful in my area. Hoping for something better, I will say this if we would have gotten what was being shown today it would have been difficult getting home. It was a struggle just with the minimal amount we got.

Tom Posted January 2, 2022 Report Share Posted January 2, 2022 As the dry slot moved in, you can now see small distinct lake bands into Cook county. I can confirm that I’m underneath one of them in N Cook. Hopefully they pick up in intensity this evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niko Posted January 2, 2022 Report Share Posted January 2, 2022 I'm in a WWA and expecting to get 3-6"+ by morning. Not too shabby. Roads are treacherous outside while temps are hovering in the 20s, so, everything is sticking. Also, I was just driving just now and gotta tell ya, it is not fun driving out there. Lots of slipping and sliding. Will go for a measurement tomorrow morning. 3 Quote Snowfall for Winter 2023 -24 for Metro Detroit Area Oct 2023: 0.2" AN Nov 2023: 2.2" AN Dec 2023: 0.5" BN Insane!

Jack_GradStudent Posted January 2, 2022 Report Share Posted January 2, 2022 This was a disappointing storm for Kansas City and even points north like St. Joe and Atchison-- places I thought could see 8 inches or so.. the storm really took a northerly track, and was something that was a little all over the place on the models. Should have payed more attention to the GEFS members really dropping their QPF's over the last couple of runs. Overall, it did sleet and snow, so not a total miss. Onto the next one... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iowawx Posted January 2, 2022 Report Share Posted January 2, 2022 This is amazing. I just measured 7.0" and now, a band of moderate snow with big flakes has formed over CR during the past hour. I was worried this morning that we may not get more than 3" but this storm has delivered big time around here. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye Posted January 2, 2022 Report Share Posted January 2, 2022 Wow, 7" is quite a total. I only managed to measure an average of 5.6" on my snow boards. This new band will add a bit to the total.

snowstorm83 Posted January 2, 2022 Report Share Posted January 2, 2022 Looks like 1.5” is the total at LNK, maybe a smidge higher on the SE side. It was pretty but super underwhelming.

This new band will add a bit to the total. I thought it might be a bit high when I first measured it, but there is a report of 6.5" in CR from about an hour ago so it sounds about right to me. Edit: Measured again and got 6.7" in two measurements. I'll go with that, it's still snowing so I will likely finish with a bit over 7" for a total. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westMJim Posted January 2, 2022 Report Share Posted January 2, 2022 The snow has now let up and now just light snow is falling. I just took a measurement and there is about 3" of new snow on the ground here. The current temperature is 20 with that light snow that is still falling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
