'14-'15 Winter Storm #16

Posted: 24 Mar 2015 05:40 AM

The most recent snow producing storm dumped an impressive amount of snow over a very short period of time over a very limited area. The featured map shows an analysis of COOP, Local Storm, and CoCoRaHS reports. A narrow stretch of northeastern Iowa got 9- 11 inches with totals rapidly dropping off to the south. These types of gradients are commonly what happens when the snowfall becomes convective . Over Clayton County, the totals within the county ranged from an inch to eleven inches! This snowfall was extremely wet and with rain in the forecast, this may cause some flooding issues as it will rapidly melt.

Good = 17
