Winter Weather 1/25-1/28

Last night’s, combined with the side piles from the previous snow, were a little too much for the 4 wheeler today. Was able to get enough of a pass to allow a car to get out, but no chance of clearing more to make the run up feasible. Had to bring in the big guns (truck with blade), and now it looks “OK”. Another round though, and I may just hole up until spring.
No, not another weather thread. This means that the snarky debates with the wannabe weathermen will start over.
Never claimed I still want to be one but thanks for following along!
Went to the gym this morning at 5 and the temp in the car said 25. Came out an hour later and it was 15 and the winds had picked up significantly. Can't imagine what it is like in the rural areas today.
My yard is getting somewhat close to the point where it was a few years ago. I shoveled at that time, and it was a pain in the ass lifting the new stuff up and over the cliff. Also hard to get out of my driveway, as I'm on a fairly busy street, and it's slightly uphill to the west. You had to watch for the tops of cars and then hope.
The snow tomorrow is cool/interesting to me. With it as cold as it will be it is looking like the snow ratio will be 20-25:1 with a forecast QPF (basically available precipitable water) of 0.1". So a tenth of an inch of rain equaling 1-2 inches of snow.
Snow is shoveled 8 feet high at the end of my driveway. I am going to have to move some of it to shovel any more.
schools letting out early. Some only gave parents a 30 min notice. That is how quickly things are turning bad. Also west of des moines around the new waukee exit there are cars everywhere in the ditch. sheet of ice in many places on the interstate around the metro
