Less chance of severe weather

Any guess as to how Wednesday/Thursday will look between Ames and Clear Lake (and Twin Cities)? Do I need to plan on leaving Wednesday night if I have to get up to Rochester?

Not exactly sure.

If you are going Rochester via twin cities, it’s going to look long.

We still have a good amount of snow in the clear lake area. You Algona area and they have more and drifting was heavy the last few days we went that way.

I have to pick up a coworker in Clear Lake, then I think we'll skate around the Twin Cities and go through Edina. I'm going to guess it's not much better over there...

More than anything I want the sis to have safe travels. But if we could get like 6-12” in Waukee and the metro and it stops in Story Country, I’d be happy.

You're the best, Jer. :) I hope you get snowed in (but please don't hurt yourself shoveling or snowblowing!).

So do you need to go to Rochester or TCs? Or both?

Sorry, I was totally unclear.

Rochester by way of Clear Lake, from Ames. Supposed to drive up and back Thursday, wondering if I need to leave the day before.

Why I said if you were going to Rochester via TCs that it would be long. Like 2-3 hours extra. Thinking snow is a little lighter along 90. Not positive though.
