Didn’t seem light enough to blow much. But yes, this was only round 1. Round 2 starts in the morning.

I did the same thing to get the wet heavy stuff off the driveway. Whatever drifts in over night is going to be lighter and fluffier.

Yes - bass, blue gill, crappie and catfish plus turtles and lots of frogs. Anyone is welcome to come fish, just ask first.

Party at @isufbcurt!

Pages 25 and 26 of this thread are gold for those who were posting thinking it was done snowing at 2.

8 on the ground and still snowing between Waterloo and Hudson...

If you are shoveling tomorrow and haven’t shoveled at all today, I truly feel sorry for you.

Went out to walk the dog before bed. 12-16” drifts in places and bare concrete in others. Not sure how to measure that.

Just a suggestion and they can shove their suggestion there's a basketball game to go to

Tire grinding party at Curt’s!

Went out around 8:30 last night and shoveled the end of the driveway after the plow went by. Was afraid it might be a chunk of ice after the temps dropped.

KCCI just reported Ames had 12.6” of snow!

My three little dogs weren't tall enough to jump into the drifts on my deck, so I had to shovel a path as fast as I could this morning so that they could go down the steps and under the deck

Drove from Ames to Minneapolis last night (early am flight out of minny) and it took us 5.5 hours to get there. Was going 35 mph on I-35 through most of Iowa. Wasn’t too bad once we got north of Albert Lea though

That would be a long and exhausting drive

Call of the Wild!

Lol, first one jumped into the drift on the deck, and the other two noped it out of there. Deck was about 12" deep and the patio below was about 2', so I had to shovel the yard out to a clear spot for them today.

We will be coming from the North down to Ames for the game. What should we be expecting down that way?

I would expect to see normal winter travel with probably 100% of the roads snow and ice covered. Main roads have been plowed here in Ames. Our side street has been plowed twice since 2 pm yesterday, but probably has 6” more on it. Use caution and plan accordingly and give yourself plenty of time.

Thinking about going over to my neighbor’s and digging a snow tunnel through his 5’ tall piles at the end of his driveway. Dude was out there for 2 hours cleaning his driveway.
