I just had my 4 wheeler (with blade) picked up for regular servicing (along with my mower). If you happen to be in the SE DSM area, go ahead and expect to get bludgeoned.
Update from DVN NWS. Key take aways
Slight SE push in heavier band likely.
"Despite the warm ground/pavement temps,
snowfall rates between a 0.75"/hr to 1.5"/hr will be enough to
overwhelm the warm ground and accumulate. This system will have
higher SLRs than last week`s system resulting in a drier fluffier
snow. With model QPF values between 0.3 tenths and 0.5 tenths of
an inch and SLRs between 12:1 to 15:1; results in 4 to 7 inches of
snow. The heavier totals will likely be in a narrow band within
the warning area."

I only reason I like the snow is because I get to go out with my 4 wheeler/blade and get crazy lol
I’m a big fan too. Set this appointment up two weeks ago. About called them to reschedule, but decided to go through with it.

WINTER STORM UPDATE...
New data has been coming in regarding the impending snow system. As I indicated in last nights post, many models have shown a trend to shift the max snowband further southeast from where it was situated yesterday. This is supported by most models and is the way I am leaning. The odd man out...

What is the difference between the Euro predications and I guess US?
Decoder ring says we’ll get flurries in Waukee. MFERS
Cedar Rapids is so screwed. (So to speak)Here we go again. KCCI has Ames at 3 to 6. And looks like WHO is at 1.3.
here is the screenshot from lazy KCCI.
Just pace yourself and drink water on occasion, and most of all don’t drive.
Yeah, this storm has got to have Central Iowa weather forecasters biting their nails. Just a slight deviation could change snow totals for the metro from 4 inches to a trace.
