KCCI even added Boom, Bust terms to their forecast. I think their reading our forums!

Ames, IA
One of the latest high res rapid update models shows Ames/DSM could be right on a really tight gradient between 4-6 inches of heavy wet snow and very little if any (20 miles could make a big difference).

Live in Ankeny and my snowblower ran out of gas after the last heavy snow. I’m really hoping I don’t need it again this season!

You're doing it wrong then, every trace we get I'm out that with my Ariens. Need to keep it in top working condition.

If you have both a single stage and a 2 stage I could see having not busted out the 2 stage for most snows this winter.

But that heavy, slushy one a couple weeks back was one you needed that 2 stage.
