Streets were slick enough in Ames leaving WBB about 9pm Wed nite. Interstate was pretty good but the plows were busy keeping it clear.

So is all that moisture going to help their drought conditions or is it coming too quickly to get absorbed?

It will just make it good and moist for a while.

We live in Otsego. We had about 10-12" on the ground before the additional 15" this week. Some of the neighbor's snow piles are taller than the roof of their car.

I took this photo yesterday morning. That's the snowfall we received between 6:30 pm Tuesday and 11:30 am Wednesday. My husband cleared the drive again last night. Another 1.5" covering it this morning. Thank goodness for snow blowers!!

Also noted that I've only missed out on 4 of the Top 15.

I got to experience #1 and have fond memories!

1. Twins beat Braves in 7.
2. 28" of Snow- day off work
3. Kids trick or treating & the snow cleared along sidewalks was higher than the young ones.

Best thing was I was renting house at time and didn't have to clear any snow!!

With the west coast now drowning and the drought officially over, maybe the midwest can lucky and get some of that this spring and summer.

The early and mid 80's had some serious winters. I remember well even in Iowa.

Who told you the drought is over on the west coast?

Yeah just because they are getting blasted now for a few weeks... does not mean they broke a decade+ long drought.

Decade long? It was like 3 or 4 years ago when they had that Oroville Lake spillway collapse because of all the rain.

Umm, yeah, dating back to 2019, the poster said it was from a decade ago.

What's spring? I wasn't aware that mother nature was still doing spring in the midwest.

Semantics. They've been dry for forever minus one or two big events.
