Things for certain, extremely cold temperatures, high winds 40-60 mph. Snow totals will be more accurate Tuesday afternoon/Wednesday. Be prepared.

I can't keep up with this thread. Are we at "We're all going to die!" level yet?

Welp…better get the blade attached to the 4wheeler, eh?

This is my dream snow moving machine. With a plastic cab and a stereo system with subwoofers in it so I can just hot box and bump. Doesn’t snow here enough/melts away too fast to make it worth it.

Don't forget about those ATC delays ;)
The airlines will tell you they’re all ATC delays.

Thunderstorms they can’t fly through? ATC delay.
Scheduling 12 departures in a 15-minute window when the airport can only handle 8? ATC delay.
Pilot overslept and his on his way? ATC delay.
Mechanic lost a wrench somewhere and they can’t take off until tgey find it? ATC delay.

A good size snow storm before Christmas probably doesn’t bode well for us going forward this winter lol. January is going to be nuts I suspect.

It's been a while since we've had a white Christmas here and using the snow blower 4x before the New Year? Pretty sure that hasn't happened since we moved to our house 7+ yrs ago.

Could be depends if that H pressure in PNW moves or hangs out to keep letting Siberian air/snow to keep funneling down.

We are supposed to drive 6.5 hours from QC to Northern WI on Fri - don't think that's happening now. May just drive the snowmobiles instead.
I’m basically going in the opposite direction and yeah, I’ll see if that happens.

I will say, I am really thankful that my parents are probably taking an overly cautious view on if I should try and come to Iowa.

I don’t have the plastic cab or stereo system. Just straight up 4wheeler, blade, ear buds and Spotify. It’s fun though. I love big snows.

Santa's probably glad he has Rudolph leading his sleigh this year with all this potential white crap blowing around.

HyVee should do their liquor sales around these types of weather events. People will already be at the store and the thought of spending 2-4 days in my house with my family is a good enough reason to stock up!
