Hawkeye Posted January 14, 2022 Report Share Posted January 14, 2022 12 minutes ago, hlcater said: Rates still suboptimal. Hope they get better. 6” still seems reasonable. We aren’t gonna end up with 10+ like the HRRR thinks we will, however. heavier snows seem to be inducing subsidence in NC IA. Trend worth following. The HRRR has consistently shown the best snow rate from 2pm through evening. Yesterday it had 0.5"/hr for about five hours. The 18z run has 0.7"/hr rate for ten hours. We'll know soon. We are currently seeing the heaviest snow so far.

bud2380 Posted January 14, 2022 Report Share Posted January 14, 2022 Iowa City Airport says 31. It's snowing lightly here at the moment. We are around an inch gave or take a few tenths. Until rates pickup a bit more or temps drop a little more we will not accumulate as quickly as I'd like. Radar looks like things will pickup shortly though.

If we're snowing by 2am I will feel good about the higher amounts. Had it been cold from the get go, we would be looking at 6-10 inches easily. Could we see some convective bands...maybe?? I think for a few hours in the morning it could be quite nasty with heavy snow and wind gusts to 40 mph. Let's bring this one home.

Clinton Posted January 14, 2022 Report Share Posted January 14, 2022 Things are really looking good for KC and esp. those on the Kansas side to receive a 4+inch snowfall.

bud2380 Posted January 14, 2022 Report Share Posted January 14, 2022 Right at about 2” here. Flakes are starting to get fluffier instead of wet. 5” should be a slam dunk.

I'm telling you, I should have never bought a snowblower. I've always gone back and forth on getting one, but after last year's 50" of snow through beginning of February and me getting older, I bought a used one from my in-laws. Of course, I haven't had to use it yet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OmahaSnowFan Posted January 15, 2022 Report Share Posted January 15, 2022 Went outside and measured a whopping 1” of snow. I’m thinking 1.25” is definitely not out of the question with what’s left to move through. Of course it’s slick as snot outside so the annoying 1” snowfall is going to keep us home tonight.
