I'd say 6-7" in Beaverdale. Probably get another inch or two today.

5 AM seems reasonable for those that have to work early. They put headlights on those things for a reason. Clear the driveway, come back in and get showered, be ready for your day by 6:30 to 7:00. Not everyone starts their day at 8:00.

If you're going to the office, sure. If you/your wife/your kids are all staying home, absolutely a **** move to do that at 5 am. He's a VP at Wells Fargo, takes plenty of breaks throughout the day, could have done it at any time.

What’s the real issue here? That he moved snow early or that you didn’t?

2-4” around Algona. Spring is right around the corner, so it can stay right where it is. Iowa 511 says no tow south of HWY 30.
Drive carefully.
Go Cyclones

Exactly. I'm out at 5, usually back in around 6 and then have to get ready for my normal day to head to work.

Yep, I’m usually at work by 6:15 and I have to clear the driveway so my wife can get out. I don’t like making noise that early, but not a lot of choice to it

Why on earth would you do a pre-shovel if you have a snow blower?! I have a crappy single stage and it does fine up to 8-10", can't imagine why anyone would pre-shovel when you have one - at 3am no less!

Meanwhile, my **** of a neighbor fired up his snow blower at 5 am, then proceeded to go back inside/shut the garage/all lights off. Why TF would anyone do that..? Him and his wife WFH and school is cancelled.

You folks know white noise exists right? Sleep with it and you’ll be fine

About 1.5” in Dubuque. Also daycare closed two hours before they were supposed to open today.

Ours is open but planning to close early which is fair.

The VP of Wells Fargo should have an electric snowblower. My buddy just used his for the first time and said it did an amazing job. I think they've come a long way.

Looks like it did exactly what every trained metrologist said it would do and picked up steam overnight.

That it did

 

[mynameisjonas]

It takes a lot for my neighbors to annoy me, and using the snow blower early in the morning after a decent size snow is definitely not on my list of annoying things. It’s to be expected.

Measured in three different places and came up with 8”-9”. This is north Ames.

 

[cmjh10]

Couple inches up here in the great white north

 

[ScottyP]

Daycare closed for today. I'm not going to get any sh*t done working from home with three kids running around.

Now I know how my wife feels when she's promissed 8 inches overnight and comes up short...

I love the sound of snowblowers firing in a snowstorm.

 

[1UNI2ISU]

A good 5" on the ground in South Waterloo and still coming down pretty well. We're going to push 10" on this one when all said and done.

Certainly didn't bust here

6 and nearly 9 year old I was fine with. The 2 year old puked again this morning so I guess I have to deal with her as well.

It was a bad start to the day when my wife notifies me that there is a puddle of water under the sink.

Luckily, I was able to repair it. (hose from dishwasher to garbage disposal came off.
