Its like this winter just has to **** with us some more. "Oh, you were looking forward to it finally being above freezing after this winter being cold as ****? Have some snow, *****!"
You forgot, "And I might just come in May again this year!"

Never thought of it that way.Those light fluffy snows have a snow to water ratio of 20"-1" or so. So the difference between 1" of snow and 3" of snow is about 0.1" of water.
So it's like if in the spring they tried predicting if that thunderstorm is going to drop 0.1" of rain or 0.2" of rain.

Well if it's good enough for the good city of Indianola then it's good enough for me.Indianola has employed the "let it melt on its own" strategy.
Be careful around campus. Traction on the sidewalks was fine in the snow until they plowed, which uncovered a slick of ice pretty much everywhere.
That's fine and I understand. I'm just saying that with those types of weather events (i.e. the fast moving clipper type things), more often than not it causes more snow than the models indicate. It seems as though expirence would tell you that the models are often wrong and up the snow predictions.
I had the chance to go on campus and read there, or stay home and read (while hanging out with baby).
No way I'm leaving the house.
I can attest to the descriptions of campus sidewalks so far. The 2-5 inches of snow on top of the sidewalks are good for traction. Sidewalks that have been swept are slick.
So basically you either get wet feet, or a wet bum.
Ya when I was still in school I would walk next to the sidewalks, because that brush they use on those little forklift/gator things just makes the ice polished.And it's why you have the "cow paths" next to the sidewalks all over campus.
Chose not to make the trip to Ames. Sorry guys.
