4" 30 miles east of Ames. Still snowing hard.

 

[herbicide]

Maybe an inch plus in Ankeny. Some big arse flakes were falling. More like miniature snowballs.

 

[nfrine]

Lots of 4 inch reports around Ames after that big win last night!

That happened before midnight...

 

[houjix]

Some thundersnow in West Des Moines this morning.

Was no point in clearing the snow when I left this morning because of how hard it was coming down still. Here's to hoping there's enough heat in the concrete that it all melts today or I'm going to have an absolute sloppy disaster to clear this evening when I get home.

Cedar Rapids roads are a ********. Trace to an inch? Swing and a miss.

SW of CR:

Yeah CR roads are crap. My life flashed before my eyes a couple dozen times on the S curve on my way to work this morning. Yikes.

Not a great day to proctor 8AM exams.
Missing 25% of my class.

 

[Hoggins]

I am not shoveling/plowing this ****. **** those kids. It can melt and people can walk their ass through it if they so desire.

CR is an absolute mess. Took 20 minutes to go a half mile on Boyson to get the kids to school.

Overproduced without warning at the absolute worst time

 

[Clonefan32]

Jealous of all of you with an excuse to sit home and watch basketball all day.

 

[snowcraig2.0]

Way more than the usual 1" in Marion.

Three driveways cleared in a little over an hour. 7 HP single stage Toro did plug a few times but for the most part, but saved my back. Now for the city to go by so they can plug the end of the driveway.

I put mine in storage last weekend. Mother nature takes the wheel from here on out.

We went from “winter weather advisory for Highway 20 and north” to “winter storm warning for Linn County and east with 6-8” of snow” really fast without any preparation for that

Congratulations to your wife!

 

[somecyguy]

Just measured 5" of snow on my deck.

 

[mynameisjonas]

Not shoveling again until 2025. I assume it will melt in a couple days.
