Things still looking ok to leave from DSM to ames for the game on Saturday?

Yes. Falling snow should be done Saturday morning. Will be windy with blowing snow, so you'll have to take it easy, but Friday night/overnight will be worse.

Sounds like a perfect time to try slinging, I hear its exhilarating.

Regardless there will be plenty of white stuff this weekend.

If anyone can't make the game because of snow, I will happily go in your place and pay any electronic transfer fees.
You're Welcome in advance

NWS DVN and Lacross have issued Winter Storm Watches. They will likely get upgraded to warnings tomorrow morning. Looks like we will stay below blizzard criteria.

Tread carefully, winter.

Take a week off just to be safe.

Make it a month. For your mental health. Having to drive with all the terrible drivers who dont know how to drive in winter even though we do this every year is mentally exhausing.

Fake News? I dont think so NAM is getting stronger now that the storm is on shore.

The NAM model has been really high on this storm for the past few days. GFS seems a lot more realistic.

On a side note, New England is about to get HAMMERED once our storm moves through.

Yes! I'll sell you some, hot rate, 2m in coverage. Deal?

Joking, of course.

Winter storm warning, 6-8" shown in most sites, 6-10" on the warning, KCCI shows 8". I'm excited.
