Time for a new one. NW part of the state will see some snow while the rest of us will maybe get rain.

Work shut down on the 21st, we go back Tuesday. Wonder if this storm pushes that back a day.

This storm could be crippling north/NWof Ames. Folks up there start preparing as ice accumulation could be major.

Freezing fog was an issue last night/this morning as well.

Is Ames going to be in this mess?

Should be rain, but all it takes is for that cold air to dip more south. Ames area could see a little freezing rain, but as of now rain.

If it goes down south and affects Ames any idea on what time that might happen?

Per WCCO, gonna be a mess up here. Saying ice followed by 10+ inches of snow.

If forecasts hold for those getting the winter type of precip..........this one may be one of those classics that gets talked about for years.

Only .25 inch of ice and 5 inches of snow. Total dud.

If trees and power lines aren’t coming down on clones21’s house it’s a dud.

Came home from Okoboji to Des Moines today and I’m glad we did. We were walking out of the hotel and the TV in the lobby said .5 to .75 inches of ice across our drive tomorrow.

Not liking the forecast that this is a heavy wet snow. That's old man heart attack stuff!

I don’t even want to be able to walk out my front door.

The issue is why are they in Nebraska in the first place?
