No thread yet? Earl has some big numbers in "his" projections...others show significant snow accumulations. Are we close enough to the event to trust the projections yet?

Looks like central Iowa might dodge the worst of it yet again. I got the snowblower ready early after that few inches of snow we had in October, and since then...crickets.
So I assume it will be like last year, and starting in another couple weeks we will pack an entire winter's worth of activity into six weeks.

Im not complaining about winter so far, but Im fully expecting to have a repeat of last year
The snow I can handle...it was the bitter cold from last Jan/Feb that drove me nuts!
I haven't looked at the latest projections other then this morning's news showing us being on the back side with possibly sleet snow mix tomorrow afternoon. Hopefully get to try out the new tires I have on both vehicles for fun. Or the new tractor and blower.
Yeah, I've got something "big" for Earl if he delivers those projections...prefer the nice, tropical weather we have been having.
NWS says mostly eastern Iowa.

I am in the CR area...so 4 to 6 would be significant...but if the totals slide to the west a bit...I would be in store for even more!
I would love a shift to the northwest a bit more
currently sitting in the 2-4" band. Have been seeing its were the high pressure will set up that will drive the accumulation amounts N/NW or most likely to the SE that I have seen and heard.
Kaj is great! Love his passion for his work! Never met the guy but my kids have enjoyed his visits to their classrooms to talk weather. He seems like a guy that really works hard to get the forecast as exact as possible because he knows people rely on that information...but he also knows he won't be able to please everyone!
It's official. Get your Chinese food Wisconsin!!
Was supposed to go to a wedding Saturday night an hour south of Davenport. Doesnt look like that is happening.....
That’s too bad, I thought they were a great couple. Why’d they break up?
I just heard on the radio that the higher total projections have been sliding to the west a bit...someone is going to get a lot of snow!
The better question is, who gets married Jan 11th?
Oh thats right, people with an Illinois education.
Either way, I would have to drive through it. Not happening, already have enough of a receeding hairline.
