Great just as Jennifer McDermed is leaving 
Also, time to blame them for not hyping it up enough and over hyping it all at the same time.

What does this picture remind me of? I just can't seem to place it.
I have been burned enough in similar situations to this that I'm not really on board -yet- with most of the higher amounts, especially over the southern half of the swath.
Snow events in daytime with temperatures over 32 are extremely slow accumulators. Lots of melting, lots of compaction. Would be a good research paper/case study.
So with that, here's our opening bid. Usual track/amount caveats apply.

Seem to favor the more northerly and warmer NAM like solution over the GFS I take it?
Meh. Not necessarily in love with anything. More of a blend or lean to SREF, and then an adjustment down of raw totals due to soil temps, and daytime air temps over 32.
From experience, daytime, 32+ temps and forecasting more than 2" of accumulation leads to a bad time.
And it doesn't make a ton of sense to confuse the message with where the watch was placed at this time.
Plenty of time to fine tune/pick fights tomorrow.
Certainly could adjust upward from the 1 to 3 we have started with for Des Moines, don't want to mislead that we're set in stone. Travel to the Dome will definitely stink though.

If either you or your ladies genitals look like that you might want to see a doctor.
Those temps are taken at 3 inches, surface temps will be cooler. If the snow is falling faster then the ground is melting it, it will accumulate.

Well, I'm getting gas for the snow blower tomorrow. I hadn't even winterized the lawn mower yet since I thought I was going to get another round of leaves first.
