Are there any survivors in SW Iowa?

When will it stop snowing? I'd assume schools will either be a late start or out tomorrow?

A dry slot is working it's way into SW IA and may reach DSM in a few hours give or take. But until the system passes through there may be some additional snow overnight.

Wind really is drifting this snow bad in Des Moines. I can still see grass in some parts of yards.

Feels like this one is flaming out.

The radar I’m watching on weather channel app says the snow is not ending anytime soon.

I have maybe 1/4" here NE of des moines. Maybe.

Lol it’s barely snowing in Ames area dry air killing it.

Same on KCCIs future radar. It shows a little dry pocket in southern Iowa but doesn’t even get close to Des Moines

Maybe for northern Iowa. Metro is still getting lit up.

Yeah, by me it was overhyoed again. I was kind of hoping for a snow day tomorrow.

That sounds like a personal problem.

Thinking we'll cross a foot then?

I still think under that. 8-11" looks like the number for the West Side. They're ahead of the airport pace too.

It really baffles me how bad weather forecasting is.

 

[motorcy90]

Let's keep it that way.

shift north more hopefully, but I highly doubt it will at all now

The snow probably won't end in a couple of hours but this dry slot is working it's way northeast as the entire system does as well. I suppose I should have clarified that the *heaviest* snow will likely be ending within a couple of hours instead of snow ending completely.

Hopefully you’re kidding.

Yeah that will start to be the end of the 1, 1.5"/hr rates, and then as the whole system pivots and moves east, lighter snow should continue into the overnight.

Really?

I said the forecasting, not the forecasters. It just feels to me that with technology and such the science should be better. Maybe I'm wrong.

Sorry if I offended anyone.
