4" of snow here. I just went out and made my first pass plowing the driveway with the 4 wheeler. It's a really light snow which made it easy to push.

Also, temperature wise it's not to bad out right now, but I know that is changing soon.

Side note: Does it feel like a Friday night to anyone else?
Yep. Weekend started about 5 hours ago. Will let my boss know that in about 10 hours from now.

I believe accu is the most accurate. At least according to this.


You need better sources than an article, covering AccuWeather’s accuracy, provided BY AccuWeather, and listed on a site that no one has ever heard of.

Driving to Madison in the morning to pickup my sister before it gets windy. Beltline during rush hour and snow should be fun.

Should be down significantly with all schools closed. I see bank closed too. Imagine it won't actually be too busy.

Y'all need to live in a spot in the country if you ever want to experience the full effect of what a couple inches of snow can do. Never gonna get it in Des Moines or the burbs.

I lived in the boonies most of my life. Tractors to plow things out. Now in the rural suburbs we get a good taste using the county north south roads that just .75 outside of town there's a big open field to the west of the road. We can get less than an inch and lose visibility in that stretch. And it will drift into the ditches. About 10 days ago we hadn't gotten more than an inch or two but we came home from daycare and a truck was in the ditch there.
