As long as it doesn't interfere with the game on Tuesday night....

I'm hearing rumblings in the wx nerd community that late January could be a return to a cold winter pattern.

In my line of work, I get daily weather briefings from internal meteorologists with 15-day and 30-day outlooks. They are indicating a pattern shift to colder in the 11-15 day range.

I’ve had to sit on my ass at home all week and don’t get an ounce of white stuff. When the **** are we getting snow? Damn weather never delivers.

Come to Minnesota? We've got a ton-o-snow.

Ice dam friendly here this season even if your house is not "leaking" heat and my isn't but it's still melting and freezing an ice dam and huge icicles on my north side. There a good 16" of snow on my roof and that's enough to insulate the layer at the shingles and melt it.

RIP Iowa

We're in the middle of that.

Hopefully not like 2021 again. Think it turned cold right before February 1 and the whole month of February was brutal.

Who has a good update on next week? How much are we looking at? I'm only looking for worst-case apocalypse kind of stuff here, none of this 1 or 2 inches bologna. Is this a storm worthy of Frankie chiming in on or nah?

Cool post! Such a unique geographic feature right there in that area of the Tehachapi Pass.

Ed Wilson said snow is tracking south. Might miss us.

Reed Timmer hinting at tornadoes in Iowa on Monday?!?

I just looked, KCCI and weather channel both saying 5-8” Wednesday night for the metro

Looks like there’s a chance Ames could just miss out if it tracks just a little south from the current projection. That’s what I’m rooting for…. miss Ames, and let clones21 have his non-dud snow Storm In Des Moines.

Some GFS models are painting a butt load of snow the next 4-8 days for two storms hitting south and central Iowa. Was smirking about it until I see upstream where it's coming from in central and western the NWS in Nebby has already issued WSW for Tuesday late into Wednesday and Thursday.

Interesting to see how all of this plays out.

Y’all are officially fired if we don’t get 6”+ in Waukee. Daddy needs it deep.

Edit to add context… “snow”
