Winter Storm - Sat/Sun

[BCClone]

I'm in Des Moines again now. But on the south side, so...

nice update

I’m taking my wife and kids back to Council Bluffs today, turning back to Ames for the game and staying overnight in Des Moines. Was going to go back to Albia overnight, but that sounded like it’s the heaviest there. Will heading west on 80 be possible at some point Sunday?

Do I need to bring a poncho for the game tonight?

Feeling lucky?

Get the non-lubed though. Nobody sitting next to you wants to have you slime them when you touch them.

It's 50 degrees and sunny here is Baxter, there ain't no winter storm happening. LOL

If there was ever a day that screamed “last chance to clean out your gutters”, this is it.

I’ll do gutters tomorrow as I would fall either way but the snow may cushion the fall.

We email athletic directors around here.

Or write open letters.

Council Bluffs to Albia? Are you a meth runner?

Cleaned gutters and put up lights today. Thinking I should plan on doing both together every year to cut down on my chances of falling off the ladder.

Only 2 inches in Des Moines? Dumb.

I'm on the 5:20 AM flight out of DSM tomorrow @wxman1 , how am I looking?

Sorry for the delay as I was at the game. I am assuming you made it out fine.

This seems like one of the harder storms to predict in a long time. Iowa City could get 6+” and CR could get nothing. Going to be an interesting day.

North wind wins again. Never bet against the north wind.

True, but my forecast already accounts for the northward shift from today compared to yesterday. I would set higher odds on it swinging back more south of 80 than pushing the heavy stuff north of 30 due to the wind set up. Or it might be right on.

We'll see what tomorrow brings. Still a ways to go.

I did the same on Friday. Makes cleaning easy when it all comes out in one big frozen chunk.

The cut off gradient on the north side of this storm is amazing.

Agree. I'm on the West side of CR in Cedar Hills and there is nothing happening.
My wife was supposed to go to IC tonight and the gathering was cancelled.

The QC is bad. After a good period of sleet, now snowing 2 inches per hour
