KCCI is such clickbait whores

Side rant... Their Facebook page always uses captions such as...

"LIKE this ______?"

"Do you LIKE ______?"

"LIKE ______ to show your support!"

Total clickbait/like whoring. I honestly don't know why I still like their page... WHO seems so much more genuine.
 
I will stop and personally slap anyone who gets in an accident on I-35 south tomorrow afternoon. Trying to get weird in aggieville that night, don't need any delays.
 
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.

I like your version better than the others I've seen. I hope you're right. :)

To continue on your side rant, do you ever look at the FB comments on any news stories? (Bad habit, I know)

Almost every single one will have a comment along the lines of 'why is THIS even news' or 'must be a slow news day to be reporting THIS'.
 
[Looks like the Winter Storm Watch was added to the row of counties South of Des Moines Metro so it's either tracking further South of the expanse of the snow is greater than originally though.

Yep... Facebook commenters on news sites are the worst.

We will likely see better updates and possible warnings issued in the 3:00 PM timerange...
 
You Iowa folks should probably be ordering some avalanche kits like this one with the beeper, shovel and probing poles.
