There is some real juicy talk about dendrite formation if you are really interested in the NWS forecast discussion for DSM, but bottom line there is reason to think it will be closer to 15:1.
With winds involved I always lean conservative on snow ratios, tends, feels like more often than not the shattering gets underestimated.

What does this mean to us common folk?

I'd be okay with this storm if I could work from home. Alas, I don't have the ability, so there's a big chance I burn two flex days.

Minnesota
Most of us will get 4-8” of mostly very light fluffy snow. Then start blowing that around for 36-48 hours. I fully expect most of the state to be in a “travel not advised” status by Friday morning to midday. I wouldn’t be surprised if plows get pulled at some point as well.

Pull snowplows? Weak sauce. The new fleet of Minnesota's finest will be out in force!

Not exactly sure.

A helpful suggestion. Take an air mattress, change of clothes, and some wet wipes. Work 2 16 hour days and watch to overtime crank up.
