Here's a neat Graphic produced by the Iowa Environmental Mesonet, excerpt from the IEM: "The featured Gantt Chart is of NWS issued winter weather products for the previous week for Story County. The bars represent the duration of the product between issuance and expiration. The weekend saw the worst winter weather with a blizzard warning and then a wind chill warning issued. The active winter pattern continues this week." You can view the IEM Here

We just can't seem to catch a break here, we got 2 inches of snow last night and once again today it's blowing around at an unbelievable amount. Once again we are under a winter weather advisory with another 2 to 5 inches expected. Possibly a sign of good news, an upward swing in temperatures. For the last 3-4 days we've been below zero, even the highs! As of this entry we are up to 28, it feels almost like a heat wave outside. Well the forecast calls for snow tonight and tomorrow but a break on Christmas Day, defiantly some good news. Christmas night more precip moves back into the area, possibly in the form of sleet/ice...great thats all we need is more of that. Possibly all rain during the day on Friday. Wouldn't that be interesting, some areas around here have more than a foot of snow on the ground and all rain falling on top of that.... Then freezing rain and snow for Friday Night through Saturday Night. Sunday and Monday look dry at this time but that sounds to good to be true so I'm sure as they get closer it'll turn to snow :). Welcome to Iowa, Last year in this area we received record snowfall in many locations, well here's a comparison from last year to this year. Last year as of today we had 8.7", so far this year we have 11.5. Possibly another record? Only time will tell. Off to go Christmas shopping before more snow starts.
