Always seems like the Eastern part from Des Moines over to the Quad Cities has a lot more semi traffic than west of DM over to Omaha. I would guess lots of trucks over South down to Texas from the east on 35. That interstate needed to be 3 lanes over the Ankeny to Ames section, but it will be nice, once they complete this section. Lots of road construction going to be going on around Ames in the next couple of years.
where do you live in the cities? Lake Nokomis area here.More south of us. Looks like metro is a maybe for 4" or so at most. I generally ignore the local news peeps unless it's the day off and than might tune into Belle on KARE11.
Sort of disappointed city peeps didn't treat my street. They usually pre-treat spray/dump deice stuff on my hill but couldn't because of the rain. Mail carrier couldn't get up the street in his piece of crap Postalmobile. I come and go via the alley which flat (hill in front, walkout in back) so no worries but watching others try to get up the hill is entertaining. At least no Amazon/UPS/FedX today.
West of Theo Wirth Park (note to Iowans, we all describe which park we live closest to!). I should probably schedule putting the snow boots on Das Audi.
I totally avoid it during even an inch of snow. Idiots will travel 90 mph in heavy snow and ice. Worst part is between Grinnell and Newton.
I noticed that too. I used to drive across the state a couple times per year. Seemed like once I got 2 or 3 exits West of the 35/80 (KC/Omaha) interchange the traffic dropped of considerably versus the Eastern half of the state.

Any snow clearing companies up in Johnston that would do a driveway on short notice. Looks like I won't be able to head back until after all the snow.
Really need a middle finger reaction here
wtf. So I was hoping to get lucky with this with just rain and it actually moved into the Des Moines cross hairs. Nice.
Well isn't that just a flattering thumbnail. That guy doesn’t look like he knows what the hell he’s talking about! lol

I'm trying to remember the last time we had a big snowfall like this in November. It feels like it's been a long time.
Hell, 1ft snowfalls aren't all that common even in snowier months

Last one I actually remember that was significant was 1992 in eastern Iowa but that can't be right.
Thanks. For some reason not remembering that one. For Des Moines at least this looks like potentially much bigger than that one was
