- Thread starter bagdropper
- Start date
I think that’s how they cook their breakfast pizza.I have the Caseys fuel truck coming at 8 in the morning to dump some fuel on my driveway. Then I'm going to find a neighbor that smokes. I'll light it, take a puff, and flick it. I'll become a Youtube sensation like all these teenagers.
Win win for you!
Latest HRR has a nice swatch of 10" through much of eastern Iowa.
(granted, I don't know historically how the HRRR performs on snow events)
Yep. We are about to get dicked, no blue pill needed
They might. About half the city drivers are from Hills. I told 'em don't be shy about pushing all of Southlawn to the west.
So, long day in the ol' school bus. I didn't really get to look at the afternoon bummer except at a glance, and I noticed they hadn't update the coverage maps by the time I began my homeward trips.
Then, grocery shopping (madhouse busy), got home and ate dinner, and passed out in the chair until now.
Jebus frigging Christ on a bike...that coverage map is severely depressing. 15" Tuesday, 3" more last night, and now 8-12" possible tonight and tomorrow.
The weather gods are apparently VERY angry at Iowa this week.

And here I forgot to pick up the lube during my snow panic shopping!

Thats why you always keep a safety Stache hidden in a box labeled baby pictures
I'm assuming those numbers are projected inch totals?Latest NAM
**** me.
But I guess I'll gladly take ~12 vs the ~20 they got listed over in the area between Chicago & Milwaukee.
True. Hell, I got Monday off too.
This storm...tomorrow and Saturday probably aren't going to be a whole lot of fun at all.

Jeez…each time I look at the forecast for Chicago area it is higher than before. I posted a 14” forecast earlier in the day…this shows 19??? Holy hell!

Thanks. Alas I live just about where the 18 is on that map 😰. This is shaping up to be one of the biggest storms this century for my area.That was the NAM.
Here's the HRRR
So likely somewhere between 8 & 10" here in Muscatine, going by this.That was the NAM.
Here's the HRRR
Dammit. Was hoping for quite a bit of "much hype, little substance" on this one.
Probably not a bad guess.
The NWS office is saying 8-12. (they take a look at all the models) Although the wording on the watch says the strongest stuff will be further north near highway 20. Not that there won't be a good sized swath of crap. That said, maybe you'll lucky and it'll setup a little further north than they thought and you'll be closer to the edge.
I don't know how to interpret some of the lake area output. Not sure if that affects things. Models may be overdoing it.
Wording from NWS is:
WHAT...Heavy snow, strong winds, and dangerous travel
conditions expected. Total snow accumulations in excess of 8
inches and wind gusts up to 45 mph expected.
* WHERE...Winnebago, Boone, McHenry, Ogle, Lee, DeKalb, Kane,
and DuPage counties.
* WHEN...From 3 AM Friday to noon CST Saturday.
I got two dozen. I can sell you some. Plus some potassium pills. I feel like a drug dealer
The channel 9 radar I am looking at right now is showing this breaking up as it hits Iowa.
Am I looking at this wrong?
Am I looking at this wrong?
still looking at central iowa reports that are say 7-12inch reports
Just fire up Netflix tomorrow and make a crock pot full of chilli. Nobody should be on the roads. Roads will get clean quicker without people on them
