***Official 2021 Weather Thread***

Still some issues, but they are getting some official storm reports out...slowly. Should see more fill in overnight, another big wave maybe between 7 AM and 8 AM.

What's up with that yellow pocket around Dubuque? I blame @ClonesTwenty1. I hope he hits every red light and experiences wet socks this week.

Again, it was a bad attempt at sarcasm based on the Earl thing. My bad.

 

[CychiatricWard]

Is it too early to talk about snow totals for Saturday or next Wednesday/Thursday?

No, because I am curious about this as well!

 

[discydisc]

Still snowing just East of Huxley.

Conversation today in Iowa. "How much did you get" Me "About 11 inches" Them " I am sure I had more than that" Typical Iowan talk, just like rain totals. Someone tells you there rain gauge had a different amount than your and act puzzled by your claim, no matter what the amount.

I worked at the Casey’s in my small hometown in high school. I always chuckled at the variations between what people had supposedly heard for snow forecasts.

Farmer 1: Theyre calling for snow. Said up to a foot!

Farmer 2: Bullsh**! They said no more than a dusting!

Farmer 3: No, no, no, I heard at least 16” inches with 50 mph winds!

I always wondered where the hell these guys supposedly heard these wildly varying forecasts.

Still coming down good here in Nevada

Well I just shoveled my driveway in Ames and did not have a heart attack, so I’ve got that going for me, which is nice.

I measured right at 12 inches of snow in west Des Moines. It was still kind of snowing at 7.

 

[BCClone]

I looked at the vehicles this morning and no snow was on them and could still see the tire tracks from yesterday in the snow. Says we got an inch and a half but I never saw any.

 

[Urbandale2013]

Just drove to work in the metro. Roads are not bad at all. Really partially covered. Outside the metro I might pause but if you are in the metro I wouldn’t worry.

 

[scyclonekid]

So another round on Saturday?

 

[wxman1]

That dry pocket from 4-7 killed big totals here in CR. No idea what we got as it has blown all around.

12.5 on my patio table in Waukee

Yes, this! I am curious how the system that is going to dump ten freaking feet of snow in the Sierra's is going to affect us.

We got something, not much, pushed 2 small "drifts" this morning.

 

[enisthemenace]

I got anywhere from 0” to 3 feet here between Des Moines and Monroe .

The drifting has made it impossible to tell.

 

[BoxsterCy]

When the glacier recedes from Iowa, I should be able to get some decent land

I'm looking forward to the prairie and buffalos returning. Should make for interesting times.

13.2" in Papillion...10 miles South of Omaha. Spent some time removing the "berm" at the driveway. Good snow for snowblowing though...
