I'd put it at 4 inches plus or minus 4 inches.
Have to wait a day and find out.
Im not an expert, but typically snow bands are much larger than this one. This one is like 50 miles wide, so probably hard to predict snow totals.
50-75 wide mile main snow band. Don't think 8-10" is going to be in the cards but certainly an upper end of 7" in it. Think the center will be around Rochester, MN to Fort Dodge.
Sharp gradients on either side of the band tapering to an inch quickly.
Wind gusting to 35 and a flash freeze will help make this one a little more impactful than 1-7" normally would be.

I go with Murphy's law usually, but in this case going out on a limb here in Ames that we are either getting 8" of snow or nothing.
I don't mean to be a jerk and I don't watch KGAN but I have not seen KCRG forecasting any accumulation this far east. Neither has the NWS.
No problem. I got lazy with my quote. I believe both were indicating "up to one inch is possible" for the wintery mix. I believe we'll be having more sleet/possibly ice, however not seeing any warnings for the area.
Regardless, I found the previous comments about the "big storm" pushing east seemed conflicting with local news.
It's all good. The up to one inch is kind of a catch all because you have to say something or people will blame you even though the most accurate forecast for it was this morning and tonight. People go off of what they hear four days before an event and say "so and so said!"
