I'm supposed to fly from DSM to ORD later this afternoon.

On a scale of 1 to 10 how screwed am I?

Dallas County appears in the clear for anything major, am I seeing this right?

Looks like there are upticking cells pushing right in to DC from the south right now?

You will need a chiropractic adjustment after the flight.

Probably about 1 hour screwed so not bad depending on your departure time?

You know that guy in the movies who's about 3 days away from retirement?

GF is supposed to drive north of Madison WI after work today around 4pm from Des Moines. How unsafe would it be to head north and take I90 instead of going east into Iowa?

Why not just wait until the morning?

Morning is also a winter weather advisory, FWIW.

Nothing happening up here by Minny yet. Give it hell.

WDM is basically saying, "It might hit when we dismiss. If that happens, we're going to hang out and ride it out. Your kids might get home late."

Just got this from Ankeny saying the same thing. My wife went and picked up our 5th grader so she didn’t have to deal with it.

Maybe get one before hand also.

Started the school year off like this...I'd rather not finish the year the same way.
