New snowfall and fog January 27th

We had an interesting system last night that brought some new snowfall to the local area. Snow which was even heavy at times in a narrow band started around 7:30pm for locations in western Polk county then it slowly spread south before shifting a bit towards the northeast. The heaviest snow occurred over a fairly short time period in an axis that followed southeast in a line from Centuria to Amery to Colfax, and locations just northeast and southwest of this line. as much as 2 inches were reported. There was a fairly sharp cut off in the totals on the southern end of the band where 7 miles could make the difference in 2 inches! My location picked up 2.25″ This actually came as quite a surprise sense I forecasted possibly an inch for Friday.

Local snowfall reports

The highest snowfall report so far came from my yard with a total of 2.25″ and the least reported snowfall total was from Roberts where they only got 0.40″ Snowfall reports were few in the northern areas but going by the closest reports I would estimate that area got between an inch to 2 inches with more the father south you go. Hopefully more reports will be filed here.
