Hopefully this forecast model is wrong. Might make getting to the game a little tricky.

I don't even want to put a snow forecast for Saturday out. There are so many inconsistencies on strength and placement in the data.

I do think we end up with a narrow, enhanced band of snow. But figuring out where it will be is difficult. There will be some with 6-7" I'm thinking... but as little as 75 miles away it might be zero.

I don’t know if it’s for everyone, but for me it’s worth every penny
The guy just called a few minutes ago they have it running, problems with the carburetor was stuck allowing the gas and oil to mix, fixed it and got it running, and will drop it back by in the morning. Total bill including pick and drop off was under $140. Not bad at all.

Leaves turning/falling? Cool(ish) air? College football? Pro football? Perfect weather for smoking meats and firepits? Thanksgiving? Christmas preparations?

I don't know how anyone can not like that. September/October/November is the best time of year IMO. But to each his/her own.
Days getting shorter. Weather getting colder. No sunshine. Miserable days more often than not. Wind kicks up too.

February is my birthday month and it still is my least favorite.

Mine too. Doesn't matter. January and February are the worst months of the year, and it isn't close.

My wifes birthday is February. This is why we go on vacation most Februarys. Heading to Galveston on Saturday for a 7 day cruise :)

Why is it so difficult? Watch the video at the raw data. :)

Just spent an hour outside doing a repair. Temp says 2° but honestly it didn’t seem that bad because the wind wasn’t strong.

Driving in the afternoon with the sun coming in the vehicle it seemed really nice, though I knew it wasn't.

Mine also has that problem at times.
The worst part is that she doesn't go down like a normal person, where you kind of lose your balance, stumble, go to a knee, catch your fall a bit. Nope, tips over like a sack of potatoes with no apparent effort to save the thing. Damndest thing I've ever seen lol.

The GFS (American model) dumps up to 8-9 inches of heavy snow along with 40+ mph winds Saturday resulting in blizzard conditions in Central, southwest, and possibly east central IA. Meanwhile, the European model (typically considerably more accurate) has little or no snow. This is several consecutive runs of the Euro now.
I’m going with the Euro solution as of now.
If by some miracle the GFS verifies it will be very difficult to have more than 5000 people in attendance Saturday. With the Euro solution we should have close to a full house.
Personally, with a GFS solution, there’s no way my wife and I can make it to the game. It would be very dangerous.

As I stated above, I think the Euro model will verify. My name will be “mud” if doesn’t.

I'm OK with the blast of typical winter stuff since it's March in two weeks.

*Yes, I know March can be nasty but the temps generally go up and the sun is higher and higher.

What about Earl? That was always snowmageddon last year and haven’t heard a peep this year.

Not sure which month is the worst, but I nominate May for the best.

Everything turns green and lush, my lawn looks spectacular (goes down hill after that), perfect temperatures after a long winter, thunderstorms, prelude to summer, and most important...my birthday.
