Hoping the storm doesn’t slow up. Friday is fine but Saturday would make the game tougher.

I saw that one. I was looking for more of the independent guys/gals that publish the models showing possible storm tracks.
You mean the ones who throw **** toward the wall and hope it sticks?

Yes, those!
Frankie hasn't weighed in yet so I'll just assume it's not going to be a bad one.
I was a lot closer than WHO last time. I'll stick to my guns here again with this amount.

The ones that just keep revising till the day off and than claim 100% accuracy while ignoring their clickbait alarms from the week before that forecast the end of life as we know it? CF is magnet for peeps posting those guys.
Looks like this storm is going to nail most of central iowa Friday night.
This is fair. I'd like to get some early info knowing the accuracy can still be low. The NWS doesn't seem to post any real info until they're very confident; which is understandable. You don't want to freak people out unnecessarily, and wx folks already deal with enough crap about forecasting.
That being said, it would be nice to have an idea of potentials. In my world (construction), I may not give you a firm price if there are too many unknowns, but I can at least say "somewhere between $150-$200k is likely."
That's really what I'm looking for; just a general idea to understand potential magnitude beyond "moderate to heavy snow possible."
I wish women would do the same. Tell you the forecast straight up "You've got a moderate to very likely chance"
There is a 60% chance that ill give you 30% chance at bumpin' uglys
For the last storm WHO was the closest to being right and KCCI was way off for Ames. WHO was in the 2’s and KCCI was 3-6. Also it’s lame that KCCI doesn’t take a chance like WHO and actually give a prediction for snow totals, instead of a range. KCCI is scared of being wrong so they play it safe.
I have no beef with KCCI. I think they and WHO both do a good job tracking storms.
I have lived in both DSM and KC, and there is not a station better at nailing snowfall totals then WHO.
We need snow, we need badly to help replenish water from the drought.
