Still only think metro gets 2-3 inches at MOST
Still going to suck regardless of how much snow we get, at least in terms of road travel between the winds and the temps.
And there is going to be another wave of snow at some point. I suggest people read the NWS forecast discussion.
I pay our snow removal guy $30 per trip, I want to see him earn it damnit.
Just joking… kinda
Really? It’s snowing pretty good in Ankeny still. Maybe an inch or so on the ground already.
Snowing decent in NC Iowa. Mother Nature knows you central Iowa schlubbs are soft.I pay our snow removal guy $30 per trip, I want to see him earn it damnit.

How does everyone handle their thermostat in extreme cold like this? I typically drop mine to 58 while I'm at work and then fire it up about 30 minutes before I head home. I see mixed opinions on whether or not that is actually an efficient method to reduce cost.

And sometimes in holiday getaway games, apparently.
There it is. My neighbor out yelling for the dog.
“STELLA. HERE!!”
Should I go tell this lady she better figure it out soon because if this **** happens tomorrow, Stella ain’t coming home?
Stella gonna be looking like a damn tauntaun by morning.

Shave your balls it will look like 4.
I feel like that ends up wasting more energy than keeping a steady temp but that’s just a gut feeling. It probably makes a bit of a difference in having a one stage vs two stage furnace as well.
My wife and I have the same argument about the garage. She always turns the temp way down but I feel like that let’s the concrete get cold and ends up making the heater run way more to catch back up. I like the garage at a nice 60+.
I Don’t want to start an endless debate on this, but that’s not how it works. I’ll try to simplify this as much as possible
Your house has a certain amount of “heat loss” or leakage. The greater the temperature difference between the outside and the inside (delta T in nerd terms..) the greater that leakage or heat loss becomes. So, as the two temperatures (inside and outside) get closer, your furnace has to run less to maintain that temperature.
