3-4 inches? I better get to Hy-Vee and stock up on bread and milk

 

[ClonesTwenty1]

If that can keep revising down, that'd be great.

I think it will

Whatever you do, don't forget the eggs.

Whatever you do, don't forget the eggs.

Or the booze

Or the booze

In fact, forget the milk, bread, and eggs.

The weathe app on my phone is saying 8-11, NWS is saying 4-6. I know which one I hope is right.....

Very wide, 30,000 ft view first impression here.

I'm still leaning toward the under, or low end. Bad placement of surface low compared to a traditional state/C. Iowa-wide heavy snow event. Lots of warm air being pumped in.

At the moment, I expect precip type issues and/or a substantial warm layer aloft that crushes the snow ratios, especially southern half of Iowa. I'll get into it a bit more seriously this afternoon, but this looks odd.

We're in Chicago. Should we return to Ames:

1. As planned on Friday afternoon/evening?
2. Try to leave earlier (Thursday night or Friday morning)?
3. Wait it out and return Saturday or Sunday?
