Weather for Big Monday 2-25?

When exactly is this supposed/predicted to start?

The national weather service seems to be leaning towards most of it going on Tuesday and in south-eastern Iowa. Hopefully that holds and we all get to the game and home before anything happens.
 
Most the models appear to be taking the storm just far enough south to limit us to only a few inches. The next 24 hours will be very telling as the storm comes ashore.
 
Virtually everything at this point suggests the worst will be well south of Ames. We'll see if that continues to hold true with 12z euro.
 
12Z nam/gfs maps illustrating that. Some people that had a lot of snow already are in store for some more.

When is it supposed to start? Nothing will stop me from going, but snow could hurt attendance on Monday. However, it looking like snow should start Tuesday AM now, if I am reading it correctly.

There is no reason to change plans about going to the game at this point.

The chances of Ames getting impactful snow of >4" in less than 12 or 18 hours are not high right now.

Going 2-3" in Des Moines, pretty slushy snow.

Temps should be right around 32, maybe just above. Snowfall at 32 in daylight just doesn't accumulate, especially with late Feb Sun.

May be tough to even get 2" accumulated actually at one time, since there will probably be a lot of melting going on.

Unless there is a change in track at this point, Des Moines is not going to see 4"+, IMO.
