    Making my first game at Hilton since 2013. It's been a while.

    100% but not quite an Apples/Apples comparison to the stat being raised. Heck. There’s been single days with temps spread 75° or more across the state. Here’s the Apples/Apples for the timeframe you mentioned for DSM.

    Fun little stat. How about near 100° swing in 19 days? Might be even warmer by the end of next week too.

    I can hear Ace Ventura at the end of this... "Like a glove!"

    Huge warmup next week... But watch out that 2nd/3rd week in Feb. Teleconnections are hinting that some cooler air potential out there in the Midwest. A negative AO points to a weaker polar jet which can often break down and pay us a visit. Not 100% slam dunk though.

    Hardware/home stores *should* have a roof rake you can purchase. Fairly inexpensive when I bought mine 12 years ago up in MN. Probably $40. Multiple connected poles with a scoop on the end. Or there's some that you can push up and let the snow slide down a tarp/piece of plastic.

    Blizzard warning extended to 6 PM Saturday. No reason these games should be played. Even says "Consider their safety". Come on Iowa State.

    Looking to the cold after the storm. There is possible Weathergamis in the works. Yes... like scorigami but with the daily high/low temps. It has been 144 days since Des Moines had a Weathergami.

    Yup. ^^^ Just a pocket of dry air in the vertical profile of the atmosphere(we knew it was there) but the band of snow is overall arriving a couple hours late. Everything is still on track.

    I like the attempt to heighten awareness. But I question the accuracy of this statement in the state of Iowa. Back to back storms like this? That I can get behind.

    Good use of the Snow Squall Warning by NWS. Textbook.

    Hi-Res models are significantly further north than the legacy global models. It should be pointed out one of the Hi-Res models drilled this last storm. And it is currently showing more of a northerly track with the snow vs southern Iowa.

    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...
