Clinton Posted January 15, 2022 Report Share Posted January 15, 2022 Rain changed to snow around 2am here, I would say I have a inch or of slop. The temp is still 34 with moderate snow falling, hope the temp crashes soon the snow should last until 11 here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clinton Posted January 15, 2022 Report Share Posted January 15, 2022 TV is saying 2 to 3 has fallen across the KC metro. HRRR shows another 1-2 in KC and additional 2 to 3 for me. Temp is down to 33, wish I could have been 3 or 4 degrees colder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToastedRavs Posted January 15, 2022 Report Share Posted January 15, 2022 Stepped outside to try and take measurements. Anywhere from 12.5 to 14 in spots just SW of Des Moines. Will call it 13.3 and thank my lucky stars! Spread the wealth storm for the forum in early February, hopefully after I get back from watching USA soccer, outdoors in St. Paul on Groundhog day!️ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bud2380 Posted January 15, 2022 Report Share Posted January 15, 2022 There a 7” and 7.5” report just to my east. I’m not sure I believe they got that much more less than 10 miles away. Unless I took a bad measurement. But I measured in several spots where the wind seemed to have less effect, so I think 5” is a pretty solid measurement here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawkeye Posted January 15, 2022 Report Share Posted January 15, 2022 I guess I'm going to record 6.2" here. It's impossible to measure because of all the blowing and drifting. My snow boards were randomly covered and scoured. I'm mostly just going with what I estimated at 9:30pm (~4.8") and add another four hours of light to moderate rate. That gets me to ~6.2". Just taking measurements in the yard, 20 hours after it began, after all the snow blew and drifted and compacted (the drifts are very dense), will produce a lousy total. I bet if there was no wind at all we'd have measured 7". 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...

Hawkeye Posted January 15, 2022 Report Share Posted January 15, 2022 My melted-down gauge catch is around 0.60", so it appears we over-performed with precip, but the ratio was garbage due to the blowing and drifting. 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...

CentralNebWeather Posted January 15, 2022 Report Share Posted January 15, 2022 Surprisingly we had 1” of snow here overnight as a squall came through. It was snowing sideways for awhile.

james1976 Posted January 15, 2022 Report Share Posted January 15, 2022 No official number for my place cuz of drifting but has to be 8 or 9 at least.

hlcater Posted January 15, 2022 Report Share Posted January 15, 2022 An average of 25 measurements in the yard (as old snow is of significantly different consistency) of 6.4" 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...
Hawkeye Posted January 15, 2022 Report Share Posted January 15, 2022 I just took a core sample from 5 inches in my yard. It melted down to 0.82"... a 6:1 ratio. That is what blowing and drifting does to ratios... totally destroys them. The snow may have been mostly dry, but the wind packs it together on the ground. That suggests we would have piled up much more than 6 inches if the wind was light. 4 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...

But even main drags off the freeways I needed 4 getting to work .Residential streets - another rung down the ladder.

OttumwaSnomow Posted January 16, 2022 Report Share Posted January 16, 2022 A little late, but about noon i finally could take final measurements from 3 am onward. Storm total 12.2" I also measured several spots around town easy 11 to 12" on north part. In my 14 years in the business here in Southeast Iowa this clearly a top 5 snowfall. Possibly 4th largest. Amazing model progs, kudos to nws and others. I had my doubts a clipper tyle sys could produce such a widespread snow! Good for business!
