***Official 2024 Weather Thread***

Holy crap. There were schools that still had a 2 hour delay today?? That’s wild.

There were a ton of schools in western Iowa that had delays today. Perhaps it was a combination of residual crappiness from two days ago plus the squall from last night.
 
This sucks big time. Had kid's first birthday planned for this Saturday afternoon, but now looking at rescheduling as we would be coming from out of state as well as some other family.

Worth the inconvenience to not put us and other loved ones at risk.
 
So the teacher ‘work day’ that was scheduled for tomorrow was moved to Wednesday. Can’t teachers work virtually? So now we have kids home this week and already two days next week. Awesome!

Might as well cancel Tuesday because of the cold and get it over with. Year round school, here we come.
 
That's a lot of learning going on.;)

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.

No cutoff age. I think if 40% of their body fits into the box you are good to go.
 
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.

May as well go for the record. It's going to suck no matter what.
