This would have been a good weekend for Vieshia

Looking at the current radar the system seems to be in a bit of a loop which to me looks like Ames might get more snow than what was originally expected.

Last night the Weather Channel was saying 2-4" for the Des Moines area.

Just think... by later this week we will be seeing sunny skies and temps in the 60's.

That's the nice thing about snow this time of year. You know it's not going to stick around long. Not sure if I'll even bother to clear it after it's done.

That will certainly help. Thanks for the effort

I am enjoying my couch.

We had KFC for lunch after church, to remember all the Jamaican pastors that took us to KFC on Sundays.

Yeah, I wouldn't bother clearing it either. Just drive over it a couple times and it turns to water/slush. It'll all be gone in no time.

I-35 is closed for a section just north of Ames.

Pretty close.

KCCI says about 6" fell in Ames and 2-3" in Des Moines. Maybe I'm in the wrong profession.

You've been to Jamaica? I had no idea!

How are the KFC's there? Biscuits? Mashed potatoes and gravy? Original Recipe? or Extra Crispy???

I think KFC down there is a lot better. No extra crispy

, but a nice three options in original, BBQ, and spicy. Yes to biscuits, and you had a greater variety of side dishes.

I'll double-check next June of that'll help
