Technically it wasn't an exit row.

It upgraded itself

Seeing some discussion from the KC area that the low has shifted south, but the track is not off, and they are upping totals for KC. Does this increase totals for Central Iowa as well?

It looked like the 12z GFS backed off considerably on ISU’s meteogram generator. 12z NAM was still high though.

School district is "proactively" sending at home learning stuff with kids today. Said no closure decision made yet but I'm betting it's on the way. Daycare also sending a fear mongering message that's basically trying to get us to say we'll keep the toddler home. My dudes, you underestimate my desire to utilize the expensive childcare I pay for so I can "work" unencumbered.

WHO has Ames at 6 inches of snow and DM 9.2.

Worse as you go further south... that's fun. I work in NE Iowa. I live about an hour north of where I am working tonight. I fully expect to get off and drive south right into the teeth of this b*tch. Bring it.

Our daycare is at the end of our block. We are walking those kids through several feet of snow before they ruin my work from home day

Most of the snow will run off now with the ground froze. We got 2 inches middle of December that soaked in.

We were slightly dry which was perfect for us this summer.

Maybe. Frost depth is measuring 0" to 4" in Iowa and southern Minnesota.

Neighbor down the road has those big ass St. Bernard's. I will lasso those things to sleds and put the kid in his snow suit. Actually, I bet they could pull the bike trailer.

Don’t forget to grab some Ames Lager on the way home.

Excellent. Let us who enjoy the snow have our 2 months. The rest of you can GTFO and have the other 10 for whatever weather you want.

Most schools will be out tomorrow, my former school has already cancelled for Tuesday, it was in the school announcements a few minutes ago. Many of the schools can quickly switch over to video learning, just tell the students to be sure to take their computer home tonight and check google classroom for assignments that will be posted tomorrow.
