2/11-12 Winter Weather Thread

[madguy30]

Snow storms are kinda fun and exciting the first few times in a winter. That's all worn off. This winter can **** right off now.

Yeah spring needs to get here. And not that fake ass spring where the date makes it spring. I mean actual spring that looks and feels like spring.

Cedar rapids prolly already has around 6 inches..

And now it's shifted to sleet/freezing rain.

I kinda thought i heard that, but i wasn't so sure.

I always go over the driveway with the leaf blower after clearing the driveway. Its gets it all the way down to bare concrete and breaks up the packed stuff. It also works great for the deck and driveway if less than 1" of snow.

Replace words leaf blower with cattle blower

Most of the schools down here in southern Iowa have already cancelled for tomorrow, we got mostly freezing rain or just rain that will turn to ice once the temperature drops tonight. I am now officially teaching into June.

Good thing you still have 3 months left of not doing anything.

FIFY

Kirkwood closed for evening activities.
My colleagues and I are taking bets if we open for tomorrow morning. It's not looking good given the track record.

DMACC announced the Monday afternoon/Tuesday morning closure just before 11 AM Monday.

Same in Des Moines.

Probably 4-5 inches on the Southside, which is what was predicted.

A+ grade reporting from WHO13 right now:

Some roads are plowed. Some are not. They may be slick or not slick depending on whether they have been plowed.

Around 8” in the CR area.

I picked a great year to move from Dubuque to Scottsdale. Wow.

 

[cycloner29]

Dubuque is my hometown. Went back this weekend and holy **** did they have a ton of ice covering everything. Got hit with snow on the drive back Sunday and it sounds like they got it again last night.

Currently live in Dubuque, and this is accurate.

Kirkwood closed for the day, may open for night classes.
I hope they can open for night. They've missed so much class (I think they've met once in the last 4 weeks) that it starts to open an argument for refund.

 

[1UNI2ISU]

Just shy of 9" in South Waterloo and still snowing.

I'm officially over this.

 

[BoxsterCy]

It's so bad they don't even want to tell us.

Not a extinction level event.* No interest.



* Although I am sorta surprised to find you are all still alive.

Residential streets across the CR metro have not been touched so not much is happening today. Three neighbors got stuck on our street trying to get out while I was clearing our driveway.

To reignite the snowblower debate. My two stage ate right through it while my neighbors single stage kept choking out.
