Just finished my first clearing. I didn't measure but I would guess 9 or 10" in NE Ankeny.

Fortunately it's so fluffy it clears easily but it's still a lot.
 
I like these big loses at home builds character...........................................
 
What’s the snow blowing courtesy or does it matter? I just went out to move the snow again so I hopefully don’t have to in the morning. Is it worse for the neighbors to do it this late at night or at like 5 am? Also, according to my deck railing, we got like two feet.

I’ve been watching the crew my home owners association hires to plow snow basically waste their time plowing the streets and sidewalks the last 3 hours lol. The snow is just blowing over everything they have done. No idea why they haven’t just packed it up and come back in the morning.

Still some issues, but they are getting some official storm reports out...slowly. Should see more fill in overnight, another big wave maybe between 7 AM and 8 AM.

I just did mine too. People are often out about now in my neighborhood doing it so I wasnt too worried.

Unlike mowing where its less essential that it get done, i think there's a lot more leeway on when to do it. Plus with bigger snows like this for a lot of people there's no choice but to hit it multiple times. That being said, if its done later at night i try to be quick about it. Can always come back and clean it up later
 
Any more measurable snow from this or is it fairly light from here on out?

A bit more accumulating snow for Des Moines area. Heavy snow is likely done but light snow is likely to linger until mid morning, it won't add up quickly but over the hours it could reach up to 3 inches. 1-2 more likely.
