Snowing good in Ames/Nevada right now.

 

[ClonesTwenty1]

Is this thing mostly missing Des Moines it seems?

 

[Trice]

Incredibly cruel to sandwich a surprise snowstorm right between a weeklong polar vortex and the promise of a week of sunshine and relatively warmer temps.

 

[Gorm]

Looks like the dry air is a bit much to overcome here in Amana. No snow yet, even though per radar it should be snowing.

Snowing like crazy all morning here in Western Iowa. Supposed to head back to DSM later today. See if roads are cleared by 5-6

 

[scyclonekid]

Still snowing good here in Ames/ Nevada area, winter storm warning to the west of us.

50 miles east of Omaha- 6 inches of wet snow- I 80 going strong. Still light snow falling.

 

[awd4cy]

Heavy stuff ended up being in western Iowa instead of eastern

It's silly how excited I and others I talk to are about 40's and sunshine this coming week.. Tone is almost like spring is coming. I'm status we are getting our hopes up

How many inches (of snow) in Ames?

Drove from Winterset to Waukee this morning on 80. Was an SUV completely flipped upside down in the EB lanes. Looks like it had just happened with people still inside. (Many vehicles stopped and were assisting) Troopers and paramedics were en route. Roads were just slushy at that point. Shows how quickly it can go awry.

Hope everyone was ok.

They must not have had that SUV in 4WD

Maybe 2 inches of snow near Jordan Creek

Told the wife there is 6-8” here and it’s still fluffy and she has had a grin on her face since.

 

[BigBake]

Is it too early to over seed my lawn?

How many inches (of snow) in Ames?

Thinking around 5” (of snow).

 

[Rabbuk]

I'd guess 2 inches of new snow in crapids, but roads are pretty slushy
