Iowa Storm Chasing Network just put out 4 different model runs, all showing that dry slot in western Iowa. One model moving everything north quite a ways, but most are relatively consistent.
Not sure what our weather folks on this site think about them (Iowa Storm Chasing group), but I feel they have been pretty darn accurate the last two years.

#4 because that has been the trend all year.

That is pretty close to the "check mark" for making the NCAA tournament.

With some of the reports coming from up North it seems like #3 could be it!

Get your bets in!!

I like that chart, expected/possible. I didn't see it last night. Did you come up with it?
Yeah, I've been using it on social media the past two storms. Green is our forecast basically, red gives an idea how or what way it might break/bust. Ideally, the ranges should be tighter by now, but this one is a struggle.

Trying to come up with a better way of communicating the bell curve that is a snow forecast.

Testifying
I was at Fareway last night with two bags of lumberjack pellets on my shoulder and was at the check out line. A couple of gals with full carts kinda looked at me. I told them, "Most people are stocking up with bread and milk. I've got some briskets to smoke on Saturday and I'm outta pellets." They both replied, "Where do you live? I'll be over!" o_Oo_O
Give them the 8'' inches!

I just don't understand what is gained by cancelling at 4 or 6 pm the day before vs 4 AM the morning of?

Planning for parents and sometimes kids are at school by 6:30 to prepare for events and practices

I know a couple of times son and others got to school only to learn no school
