Since my part-time job involves driving a truck around eastern Iowa, I’ve been watching the NWS page with interest all week. It went like this:
Tuesday: big storm coming late Thursday, not sure of locations/amounts yet, but northeast Iowa could get a lot of snow
Tuesday night as I went to bed: Looks like the track has shifted, maybe an inch or two for Cedar Rapids, nothing for Iowa City, all is well
Wednesday morning when I got up: Surprise! Looks like 4-6 inches for CR, three inches or more for IC, a boatload of snow further north. Our area of greatest uncertainty on amounts is south of I-80, Cedar Rapids, you’re getting hit. Get your eggs, milk, and bread!!!
Wednesday afternoon: WINTER STORM WARNING for Linn County and northwards, 4 to 7 inches is very likely
…
Thursday morning as I get up: We are calling for about 3 to 4 inches in Cedar Rapids now, and they’re right on the edge of the uncertainty area, could be less. Iowa City might get a couple of inches, maybe, could be less. Northeast Iowa will be topping out at 6 inches, max. Hope you all didn’t freak out yesterday, lol

HyVee must give NIL money to the weather forecasters...right?
Someday, the big one will hit. And we're all going to ignore it because they've cried wolf too many times.
My 8 year old was happy that he will get to see the end of the game.
If you live in Ames go out and clear the driveway. That stuff is heavy.
