DSM doesn’t seem so bad, marginal VFR conditions and good breaking conditions on the runway, nothing that would stop the flight coming in. My guess is it depends on their ability to get to Ames from there.

That stuff is great. Last winter I found a Confluence "Monster" Oatmeal Cookie Stout, which was even better. I bought one but never saw it in stores again.

I got out the tape measure for an area protected from the wind and pretty much undisturbed … the top of my air conditioner. (Theres a cover on the top so a good base from which to measure.)
Just shy of 18 inches.
This is today in northeast Cedar Rapids, just east of Target and north of Blairs Ferry.

Two or three months ago they also had a peanut butter cup porter, I think it was. I love porters and stouts this time of year, especially with a hint of sweetness.
When I called the opening manager who comes from Des Moines seemed kind of miffed about me calling in.
I came in Tuesday and Friday when I probably had no business doing so and Friday I was only day employee to come in. Since Aug. 26 I've worked every day but Thanksgiving and Christmas day so I think I'm allowed a freaking snow day.

It was a speed limit trip from Ames to DM this morning. They should be fine.
I think we're getting close to a postponement
I want OSU to be safe, fans to be safe, but it would be nice to play late tonight/tomorrow if possible. This league is a grind and it would be nice to not squeeze a game in later.
Agreed. If we would have to reschedule, at least it would be a home game. Would rather squeeze that in than a trip to Stillwater.
I know there are logical reasons not to move it to tomorrow (i.e. we both play on Tuesday), but that's no different than a Saturday to Monday game. And it would pretty much solve all the problems.
FFS, what exactly is the problem?
The current radar doesn't show any bad weather over their flight path, you have numerous planes landing like a normal day in Des Moines today if you check the arrivals, and people who have driven I-35N say it's fine.
Boy if you look at the projected radar today, there's going to be snow for a big chunk of the day in various places. Not much, but enough to impact travel. It was spitting a little snow in West Des Moines a few minutes ago.
I am running out of places to put snow.

It could be getting approval to take off. With so many commercial cancellations yesterday, I'm guessing commericial flights get priority.
Thursday, Feb 1 makes a lot of sense for a new date. ISU has no weekday game that week, and OSU plays in Lawrence that Tuesday night.
The drift is also impressive but I was more wondering what it's like when your spouse can't hide **** from you by putting it in the top cabinet
That's our bye week though, we need to get this game in either tonight or tommorrow. We've literally played 2 games in about the last 35 days, we'll need that week to rest for once since they got rid of that stupid SEC challenge.
