Looks like it’s about done for central Iowa. Must be some that supposed to build.

Several 2-3" reports across southern/central Iowa so far.

NWS says that a lot of, presumably boring moisture, is moving in from St Louis tonight to make it build back.

So for Waukee and Western Burbs, are we just gonna get like an inch? Seems like a total and complete bust.

 

[awd4cy]

I’d say in Story County it’s about 2 so far.

Weather Underground, which is always been the best weather app in my opinion, has been dropping totals all day.

WHO has by far the best weather department, so I always trust what they say.

They're now saying 4-6" total for Ankeny by tomorrow night. Schools have already cancelled for tomorrow.

I might be able to get up to the ISU/Houston game after all!

Literally no snow coming down now in dsm. Not sure how we get to the 9 inch prediction here unless winter hell unleashed overnight.

It's a grower not a shower.

The rot set in

The weather thread reminds me a lot of games threads.

 

[awd4cy]

Except some of us would prefer low totals anyways. 3 sounds good to me given what they were forecasting.

It's not the size of the snowfall that matters, right?

 

[AgronAlum]

WU for Ankeny has 3 more tonight, one tomorrow, one Wednesday, two Thursday and two Friday.

I just did an initial clean for me and my neighbor who is in Mississippi for work and the **** is heavy. It’s building up a little bit after but not much.

 

[ClonesTwenty1]

Do we know if Houston made it in today?

I’d say they had no issue getting in today

 

[nrg4isu]

Whole home generator brought fully online today. Hope we don't need it but I'm prepared!

You will never lose power again. Not because your generator will run when the power is out... because the power will never go out again.

Our generac is now 5 years old. Has zero hours of actual use (all hours are exercise cycles).

 

[MNCYWX]

Why does everyone think we're going to have all our snow a few hours after it starts? We'll see snow fly all the way through Tuesday afternoon. It doesn't happen all at once.

Got to try out my windshield snow cover on my vehicle.
