Only a few years old as a product, so there have only been a couple around here.
Yeah on the north side of Ankeny on October 19, 2020. Got 8" from it.
I recall a time back in the 2008-2009 time frame where something like this happened. Wasn't supposed to snow at all , and then out of the middle of nowhere we got hit with a 5-in storm. Driving from Nevada to Ames was atrocious.
That sounds about right. There was a squall that happened right around the DSM evening rush hour. It was a traffic disaster.
Can you shake the 8 ball again and think up something different there, I don't like that one.
Now all you gentlemen upthread with your promises of large totals that fail to measure up, take note. This is how you deliver.Tis better to promise low early and build up than to promise a wallop early and have it bust.
I think this one does have a better prospect for Blizzard warnings. Snow consistency helps a lot. We shall see. They're Watch product didn't say that word but did say 'significant blowing and drifting snow'.
The way that post sent my head to jira tickets and product managers and some marketing person trying to decide what weather occurrence was next on the product roadmap.
I could have gone my entire Cyclone Fanatic lifetime without ever seeing “JIRA” written down and been completely content.
Had to say it. Now, back to the weather.
Could you mark that resolved please. K thnx
Also, don’t forget the completely meaningless twelve status buttons you have to click through to get to resolved.
