in seriousness, what is the difference that these two are graphing? i see a 50.7 and a 40.4.
so since both have Des Moines in the 8-9 range, is that a fair estimate for snowfall for us?
i assume the snow compacting isn't taken into account?
We'll see as we go through this evening. Storm coming on shore tonight. First few model runs tomorrow will be crucial and likely where we would see any major shifts.
8-9 I would say is pretty close to the top end at this point.
Still fairly comfortable with my 5-8" from earlier.
I think everyone is afraid to answer that question, after the discussion this A.M. But here I go--- I have no professional training in meteorology. BUT when there is a big *** L in the middle of Kansas heading toward southwest Iowa. Chances are with ample moisture, precipitation will occur in varying amounts in the areas that receive precipitation.
For some reason, I feel a threshold has been crossed with this question and the absurdly thorough anal examination this storm has undergone in this thread. I feel like the inmates have abused this fish enough.
KCRG (Cedar Rapids) just put out their first predictions at snowfall with a strong caution that the totals could change. They are saying pretty much 3 to 6 inches across their viewing area.
