Had to cancel plans going to Waterloo today. Of course this will all melt soon and we will have a brown Christmas.

Supposes to drive Waukee to Waterloo sometime today. Could stay til tomorrow if roads are iffy. 511 not looking great.
Anyone with current road perspectives?
 
Its just going to snow a bunch in January and February anyways.
In the Winter "previews" that's when they said we were suppose to get the worst of it. If it turns out to be worse than what we already have had its going to be a LONG Winter.

I didn't even know we were supposed to get snow today.

I'd like to have this level of detachment! I'm basically constantly looking up the weather in the best of circumstances, but the past few weeks I've gone overboard. (My sister had a baby last weekend during the 8 inches of snow in Ames, then I had to--for complicated reasons--take the baby home from Blanks on Friday trying to beat the snow and ice.)

I check the forecast every few days, and I typically follow this thread (I can't find this storm mentioned anywhere). I don't remember seeing anything in the forecast beyond what we got Thursday. Maybe I need to pay attention better.
