There won’t be a single school in the state that has school.

$50 says Ankeny is 2 hour delay until the last second

(ok in this case you're probably right but we all know they'll be the last to close)

Ankeny was already out of school tomorrow and has an announcement up its web site that its offices are closed due to weather.

Grimes already cancelled for tomorrow which is the third time this week. Tuesday made sense but Wednesday didn't need to be cancelled.

I know, my oldest is going to be bummed because he was reveling in the fact that he didn't have to go to school tomorrow but his younger brothers had to go to daycare. Now we're all going to be home with him, and he's going to have to deal with his younger brothers bugging him

I wonder when we last had 2 snow storms with 10 inches or more over 5 days?

Of this Top-10 list, the only two that had multiple, separate 6"+ events were 1923, and 1893.

1888 was 17" all in one day.

The top spot contains the Des Moines single day record, with 19.8 on New Year's Day of 1942.

I know my kids' school does early outs every Wednesday. It would have been a 2 hour delay but with them already getting out early it wouldn't have counted for a full day either way so they just canceled.

Farmer’s Almanac has been spot on so far. There is even a passage in there that says there will be a major storm the second week of January. No ****.

What does it say the rest of the winter will be like?

Linn-Mar is out Friday and Monday anyway.

Waukee is closed Monday and Tuesday and just canceled tomorrow so a 5 day stretch with the kids locked inside…

On an unrelated note - what’s the cutoff age for dropping kids in those Safe Haven boxes? Asking for a friend.

Not sure how old they are but there’s still time to get to target and get a Nintendo or a PlayStation and a few iPads. Modern parenting is modern parenting.
