To any of those who are so excited to see today's snow storm, you're welcome to come over and blow out my driveway/sidewalk.

Come on! You're way too young to worry about driving in a little snow! You sound like my grandma.

Just stay on the main thorough fares and you'll be fine.

But just in case put a blanket, shovel and a couple slim jims in your trunk. And update your auto & life insurance.

To answer your question, I was seeing 2-4" yesterday. With snow mainly early morning hours (5a-noon). 3pm Tip- no problem!

Oh I'm not worried about driving up there

it's more if it snows more, I was hoping more tix would become available for cheaper :)

Got it. Sorry, I'm a little slow.

Last year, someone on this board posted that they couldn't get to the game later in the evening because of a blizzard so he transferred his tickets to me for free. Court side, about 12 rows up. I drove from Ankeny through that blizzard for those seats. Wife thought I was nuts.

Not exactly sure.
Send your wife out.
Bonus points if she's pregnant
Neighbor sees
Neighbor clears out the snow.

The KnappShack Plan

Next year I might send the 5 year old out to mow and see if the neighbor takes over.
Have the wife go to the neighbors in yoga pants and a tight shirt. Say you are gone and she can’t start the blower. He will do it.

I dislike snowstorms that piddle around. Like when it is over in about three hours so I can shovel then get on with life. May work on income taxes for my mother today... Might as well make the day a total pain I guess.

Ames
Hey weather experts around here, I scored free tickets to the game Saturday. How much of a pain in the ass is going to be to get to Ames from NE Iowa? Most of my drive is 20 to 35.
That's pretty slow. I'd leave really, really early to make sure you're here by game time.

Since we don't have a snowblower this would be quite the indecent proposal

That’s even easier. She can tell the neighbor that she’s really good at blowing, but she doesn’t have anything to blow with. Then the neighbor will let her blow with his equipment.

It’s really a win win
