Here We Go Again - winter storms #2 and #3 Wed-Fri 1/10 thru 1/12
- Thread starter bagdropper
- Start date
I don't know where you live in Ames, but I'd say on the nw side maybe 5-6" of new snow.
Just measured the railing on my back deck. 12.5-13".
They pulled the plows here too, at some point late AM/early this afternoon. Took me a normally ~7-8 minute drive home from work over an hour because of driving slow and then I had to dig myself out a drivable hole twice near home.
If someone hadn't of dug out my parking slab, I'd still be out there working myself to death just trying to park the car after 8 hours of manual work.
I ain't even gonna worry about shoveling the rest until after work tomorrow. Lot of its gonna blow back anyways + the plows reloading the would-be-'clean' front sidewalk.
Afraid to wake up early tomorrow, and seeing what I'll have to deal with just shovel out and get the car ready to go to get to work. And might have to dig out half the alley just to actually get out & going.
ugggggh.
**** you, Mother Nature. You dirty no good crack whore.
I’d venture 25ish inches in 4 days in CR, maybe pushing 30.
Just got done with my driveway, sat down to enjoy some hot chocolate, and the snow plow drives by my house. Based on my driveway, I had anywhere from 3" in the middle, to 2' on the edges. So I guess average it out and call it a foot of snow here?
Yeah, I'm up by you. Close to the H.S. Maybe its the drifting, but I had to cut through 3 foot of snow in some places
I think it's the drifting but it's hard to tell because it's so windy.
My wife doesn’t care on the marijuana drink but I feel like me opening one up after she gets home then me explaining about how much I worried for her and chose not to get high gets me a blowie.

Thats the crappy part, I know I'll be out there at least two more times if anyone wants to leave the house tomorrow. We're sheltering in with some good food tonight. My buddy from Colorado brought his family back this weekend. We were supposed to go out to eat. Not in this crap.
You know lawyers always double everything hoping the client settles for half…
Yeah, I see the nearest reporting station was 7" at 3pm. I'm beginning to believe an inch or two of mine is blown in snow.
It has stopped...well, barely spitting a bit out. Wind unfortunately is picking up substantially, so I damn well be doing a complete fun filled snowblower extravaganza early tomorrow if I want to get out - my EOD is about 2 feet tall too.
I also noticed my neighbor's evergreen trees are leaning quite crazily...they're caked with snow. My single one is also leaning Tower of Pisa-like too.
He said he brought it with them
. Channel 13 just said we gained 8 inches in parts of Ames
I’m exhausted
Fired up the trusty 2 stage Ariens and plowed through my house and three neighbor driveways, and about 300 yards of sidewalk

You went through your house? My god that thing has some power.
Nice snow week in Steamboat, about to be a big weekend on top of it.
My driveway was two feet of drift. Couldn’t physically shovel it in these conditions and my back was giving out. Gonna have to kindly ask the neighbor to get us out.
My old man is in his seventies. He can afford to pay someone to do it for him. He still does it. Luckily/Unluckily he was in the hospital last night getting his gall bladder taken out, so he couldn't be a fool and try to do it this morning.
I keep reminding him not to do the things that he once could.

WTF man. Why would you bring my mom into this? Moms are off limits on GIAOT everyone knows that
Does he proceed to tell you to GFY after you tell him that?

Until the 50mph winds blow it all right back in
Wife had me clean the sidewalk, I said it was pointless, 2 hours later filled in.
This is fun. I’m having fun. Just sooooooo much fun.
Looking forward to the snow plow going by and destroying my hard work.
No. I do it out of love and wanting him to be around for a while. He is just stubborn.
I got close to 2 feet EOD to deal with tomorrow morning. Wind is going to drift over everything I blew out already anyway, so...
It's either that with a nicely plowed street - or fighting to just get out of my local neighborhood 2+ times each day.
I got a machine that makes short work of EOD issues now. No biggie.
Wife made it home guys!! I just opened this bad boy:

Walked to a Walgreens that is kitty corner from my place earlier because I woke up with a cold and needed a resupply of pseudoephedrine. I got some insulated/waterproof overalls at a thrift store when I was staying with my parents following surgery in early December. Really clutch today. Unfortunately it looks like my boots are finally starting to crack up a bit after 10 years (these have kept me warm in Kinnick for several November games including Purdue 2015 and Illinois this year).
