It's heavier than hell!

 

[ClonerJams]

Yeah that sucked shoveling

I’m don’t shoveling this year. It can melt tomorrow

 

[dmclone]

I thought I was going to flatline with my 2 stage. Heaviest snow I remember.

 

[Pope]

Used my snow blower as much as I could and shoveled the rest. My arms feel like limp rags. Pace yourselves, everyone. That is widow maker snow.

56 degrees in eastern Iowa midweek...so good advice!

Yeah I usually do this, but I had a screaming toddler inside and wanted to get outdoors and get some exercise so it ended up working out

I would not have gotten out of my driveway if i didn't at least get the stuff at the end of it. And even the 2 stage was damn near choking on that stuff.

The little bit i shoveled where the snowblower is hard to maneuver to was enough to make me very glad I had the 2 stage

I’ve got 3 under 5 so we did end up getting the kids outside.
Built a couple snowmen. I love rolling snowballs when the snow is wet like this. Perfect

Did the same with one of my daughters. It was absolutely perfect for a snowman. We put up one that’s close to 8 feet. Had to build a snow ramp up the back side to get the middle section in place

Supposed to be 50ish and rain by the end of the week. Hopefully it washes all of this snow out pretty quickly.

Maybe the higher/later sun this week will start to help.

It gots to go.

 

[Gunnerclone]

Wet and rain in KC for a good part of today. TV weather guys keep saying “North close to the Iowa border and north of that is snow and mixed precipitation.”

Classic Big 12 tourney IA/MO weather setup.

I was eagerly awaiting an Amazon delivery today. Now it's almost 10:00 and it hasn't arrived yet. As best I can tell, some poor driver is still out there and there's no way for me to say, "seriously, it's fine to just deliver it tomorrow."

 

[Rods79]

Seriously?

 

[Jer]

It certainly looks like 8 out there (Waukee). It added up fast when the flakes were the size of leaves falling.

 

[enisthemenace]

Seriously?

We should expect our forecasters to be as accurate.

(I’d hope jimlad isn’t necessary, but here we are)

 

[NWICY]

Still snowing on I90 at 10pm it was still decent travel around 50mph

 

[nfrine]

Seriously?

We are lucky. With the amount of moisture, this could have easily been 15" to 20" with cooler temps.

 

[Trice]

Clearing the heavy snow last night was one thing, clearing the massive frozen blocks left behind by the plow overnight was truly backbreaking.

I followed your suggestion, the snow is still there. Please advise.
