Winter Weather 2/19- 2/20

[ISUAgronomist]

So are we all going to die still or has it been downgraded for the metro?

 

[Jer]

I saw that, I just hadn’t seen any updates other than the NWS dropping some areas from 8-10 to 5-8.

Will it still be snowing in the metro tomorrow morning or not?

No change on our end yet. Our forecast is staying at 5-8. Most areas around 6 in Central. 8 in NW.

As of right now, we have 2.5" to 2.75" in West Des Moines. Shoveling wasn't too bad.

 

[SECyclone]

They forecast 6-7” we maybe have 1” so far

Yeah barely anything in Des Moines

 

[jbindm]

Seems like most metro schools are going with a late start today, but still nothing from DMPS.

 

[cytheguy]

Storm is a dud in central Iowa. Thank goodness!

 

[NorthCyd]

Big dud in Ankeny. Weather... As predicatable as Iowa State men's basketball.

Ha. Can't do that.

If I really wanted to climb way out on a shaky limb I could dump it down to 3 to 5 and bank on the low level dry air we've got right now winning out.

Lotta snow aloft already appearing on radar, so I think we'll overcome the dry air well enough, but if I had to bet strictly either over/under and not the forecast, I'd lean under for the moment.

So the dry air won?

 

[nfrine]

So the dry air won?

Yep. We had a dry 3-4" east of Ames.

 

[Angie]

So the dry air won?

I have rarely been so happy for dry air.

yeah this storm was a complete bust. Roads were just fine at 5:30am

A few inches in CR thus far. Main roads were mostly fine in my short commute.

Complete bust? Dude, just shut up. We still got 3-4 inches of snow, and the roads were far from normal conditions.

 

[Clonefan32]

I just figured it had snowed as much as they said. Didn't bother looking outside. Woke up early, got all suited up to snowblow, got outside and realized we got maybe a bit over an inch. I was already up and dressed for the occasion so I fired it up anyway, but felt kind of stupid doing it.

Never said they were normal. Just said they were fine. Very driveable.
