Are the roads supposed to get better or worse throughout the day? They are dog **** right now in Des Moines. I got west of town and could barely see the end of my hood in certain stretches and they’re 100% covered.

Ankeny was a sheet show this morning. Johnston wasn't as bad. Dont know if that was because Johnston did better treating their roads or there was that much difference in the weather. This winter keeps climbing higher on the suckitude scale.

I ran to get donuts this morning and It got nasty in the Ames area in a span of 10 minutes. I’m going to guess we get more than 1-3 inches.

Damnit, now I want a donut. Haven't had one in a year.

Huge flakes falling heavily here in NE CR right now. Absolutely no wind at this moment but it looks like the front is in Benton county now.

The bacon survived the Feb 4th Blizzard!! 6.5 hours on the smoker about as long as the blizzard lasted. 1st attempt at bacon from pork shoulder.

State plows are doing wonders, county hiys are leaving a lot to be desired

If you can, please provide shots of it sliced. I've always wanted to try this.

Will do! Currently letting it cool in the fridge. I just had to cut off a couple small pieces to taste test! I was pleasantly surprised as I could taste the maple syrup flavor in it from the cure. 10 days in the cure and 2 days to let it dry in the fridge. Plus it was only $.99/lb. Fingers crossed.

Personally whenever someone talks about it being more than 6 inches I get skeptical.....

Basically whiteout conditions here in Bowman Woods. But you are right NWS this isn't Blizzard warning worthy even though we are all going to call it that.
