Overall, yes. Though even yesterday the short and midrange forecast models were much more aggressive with snowfall totals. I was surprised the weather folks in here didn't hedge at least a bit.
Maybe it will be like the game vs Minnesota in 1992. Awful weather, fans were pretty much told to move down close to the court, and it ended up being a great atmosphere. We won by 30. Now, Minnesota was not #3 in the country, but was a decent team.
You have no place to go but for some reason it’s always you old farts out driving around for some odd reason.
I was just talking about my wife and I, not all old people. Seems like it's the people that are going to work that are out and about or the young that are too stupid to realize that it's not safe on the roads.
Having a job that requires me to travel 30 miles in all weather, it’s the 18 and under and the 65 plus that I always see. The young ones are too dumb and the old ones believe coffee won’t go on without them.
Totals in central Iowa... 5-8". Southern Iowa... 7-10".
Starts Monday afternoon from west to east. Ends Tuesday mid-day/afternoon
Borderline blizzard conditions by Tuesday afternoon with gusts running 35+mph for a few hours. Not sure we'll actually get a Blizzard Warning issued though. Right on the fence. Either way. Travel will be tough Tuesday.
Above is raw data but similar to the map I'd make in this moment.

Just have everybody stuck in the balcony move down and fill up the lower level. The poor people won't spread anything to all of you old rich bastards.

My worry is that it sets unrealistic expectations for when more normal measurements return.
Moisture leaks all over the place, so there was rust and pitting throughout the inside, including the heat exchanger. Quite a bit of mold too. The blower motor bearings are going out. Bad enough that both guys (separate companies)who looked at it were surprised it still ran and they wouldn’t turn the gas back on because it was dangerous to run.
We have a new furnace and AC set to be installed on Tuesday.
Some of us are used to having those expectations met.
Well that doesn't look terrible for Tues nite trek to Ames. Then I saw the purple and pink one later. Dang it big game in Hilton and crappy driving weather.
