BREAKING NEWS: It’s snowing.

 

[Brandon]

You would think the world is ending with this medium sized snow coming in.

Looking like its trending up now?

 

[Gunnerclone]

Make sure to take slow motion video of the snow because no one has ever done that.

 

[CloneGuy8]

I'm watching the Weather Channel, and it appears we're all going to die.

 

[Entropy]

Headed to Des Moines this afternoon to speak at a conference tomorrow.

This week we had two students from Hinton killed on the way to school when there was some slick conditions and no 2 hour delay was called. I anticipate all schools at least in NW IA will be very cautious the rest of the winter because no one wants that to happen and feel like it could have been avoided. It is always better to be safe than sorry, especially these days.

Just read about it. Two children from same family is devastating. I can't fathom.

Just left downtown Des Moines. Wouldn't be surprised if we already had 2.5/3 inches, visibility was 1/2 mile and there was an inch of hard packed snow on all the streets.

They cancelled school today for the districts in the CR area now. Why couldn't they have an early dismissal instead? Nothing is coming until 1:00 today.

I was told managing the bus schedules is too complicated, unplanned early-outs are impossible. IDK if true, that's just what I was told!

 

[Clonefan32]

If it's going to snow a few more hours I don't see any way we only get the 3-4 inches the forecast for DSM area.

Cue all the mama’s boys and their “I’ll be driving from Chicago to Omaha to Minneapolis back to Chicago tomorrow to catch a flight to New York to catch another flight to London to catch another flight to Hawaii. What time should I leave? Should I leave? Will I make it ok? Will you wipe my butt? Will you bring me my binky?” type posts! Haha!! Kidding, but not really.

In other words, check the DOT site and its gazillion live road shots for road conditions and whether travel is advised. And use your own instincts! Peace out, bruhs!

This seems unnecessary

Why are you trying to put message boards out of business?

If it's going to snow a few more hours I don't see any way we only get the 3-4 inches the forecast for DSM area.

We already have that in Urbandale. Just looking at the radar, my guess is we end up with 5 inches. Maybe a little more by tonight depending on if there is any freezing precip or not. My choice would be that there is some freezing mist on top of this because this isn't the heavy, wet stuff they forecast and 35-45 mph winds will have a blast with this stuff.

It's that 3" Des Moines was predicting

School Supts. are kind of like lemmings, none want to be the first to cancel, be when a few do, then the rest will quickly follow. We cancelled down here last night, Davis Co. scheduled an early out for 12:30, then ended up just cancelling like everyone else.

Looking at the radar, it should be snowing like hell down here, but nothing is falling at all. Air most be too dry still.

That is called conformity and public education is all about creating conformity. The school here canceled on the nicest day of the week (Tuesday) simple because of the gravel roads in the morning.

Keep plowing boy.

yeah, I have at least 4 in West Des Moines and it’s blowing around a lot out there. This is kind of a nasty storm.
