Wonder if that was the late season blizzard of 1973? Worst snowstorm I can ever remember.
There was something like 16" in early February 2011. At least there was that much in Clarence - 35 mi E of CR. Maybe CR didn't get that much then.
Had about 12” here in Waukee but stepped outside and it quickly decreased.
I am not certain that the snowblower is the subject of this post......

They repeatedly come up short.
We had snow up to the roof at our house after that storm
Oh it’s a hand-me-down, hand-me-down John Deere. I swear that things as old as me
What can I say, the cold months will do that to you.
In Polk County we had one in 97 I think that was easily 12 inches. We also had an early April storm in 99 that I think was around 15 inches.

Yes, yes they are.
Apologies if already posted. Made me smile.
January 26, 1996 DSM had almost 15 inches in about 6 hours time. Cloud to ground lightning as well for about an hour along with 50 mph winds. Most violent snowstorm I have ever witnessed.
Watching Jason Parkin reporting live on TV in the middle of a Des Moines residential street that has not been plowed yet I lived on a street like that. Thankful we moved out of Des Moines over 10 years ago. Already had our street plowed several times today in Grimes. I realize they have a lot less miles of roads tonl plow but they seem to make passes through residential streets overnight so it's not such a daunting task after the main roads are clear.
