The average American sees that and says,"One lane is open!! Where's the stuff I ordered on Amazon"!!!
Well 7-8 inches and some solid bands coming across for the rest of the afternoon. May hit the 9-10 inches yet. These storms have just been crazy in their longevity. Go 30-60 miles north and easily 2-3 more inches.

She’s in full-on freakout mode - no sexy time anytime soon 😡
Pulled up the snow reports map...
There's places in SE Iowa already over 10", including one report near Muscatine with 13".

This is unreal that the deep state is manipulating weather like this before the Iowa Caucus!!!
When I saw that tweet last night I had to do a double take because I didn't think there was anyway someone could be that ****ing stupid.
We actually had someone knock on our door to discuss replacing windows. Helluva boss that guy had.
I’m assuming you mean your cleaned off deck? Mine is well into the 20s right now total for the week

Oh we have a fireplace. And we are going to live. She’s just a Type A control freak and she can’t control the weather so she’s losing her mind. BAU 🙂
Yep. Cleaned it down to the boards at sundown yesterday. 15" Tuesday, 3" Thursday morning when I woke up, now an additional 9".
Rain and snow reports vary across the CR metro quite frequently, but they got a pretty extensive network in and around the corridor. The 1st two storms match up with 3 nearby to me sites nicely. I use the reporting sites near Fairfax, Ely, and Cou Falls as a good cross-check considering I live near Kirkwood - I'm usually right in line with what they report.
Right now the Fairfax site reported 5", but that was just before 11am. Cou Falls 3" but at 9am. CR reports have been scant so far today (interestingly so) - must be waiting for it to let up before reporting in.
Still pouring out...just keeps on coming down.
Sounds like the blizzard warning for Black Hawk County just got extended. Supposed to end at 6AM tomorrow but now going until 6PM
I want to drink a marijuana drink but my wife works at the hospital until 7. Not sure if I will have to drive out have to save her or not
Go ahead. THE_DEVIL will take care of her for you.
Just set the expectations now. "Honey, this is what I'm doing. If you need a ride, I can't help. Sorry"
It'll go over smoothly

I second this exact statement to wife. Maybe drink the THC Beverage first so she has no way to talk you out of it
With as heavy as the snow is I am running out of room for the old snow thrower to put it. Also the roof is reaching epic proportions of snow depth.
Yeah, there was a fake Storm Lake message like that too that someone posted on here..
Oops, it was Le Mars: https://iowa.forums.rivals.com/threads/who-here-works-for-the-city-in-le-mars.433395/#post-11729281
Go for it. The cops won’t be getting out of their cruisers for any reason once the winds start and temps drop
No way to determine. I did remove snow 3 times today, guessing a minimum of 3" each time. I'll go short of @bagdropper and say 7-8". This sucks, pure and simple.
EMS also won't be able to transport to a higher acuity hospital if needed either.
As my late grandpa always loved to say, "Sometimes it's just easier to ask for forgiveness than it is to ask for permission"
I waited until 3:00 p.m to get the snowblower out. Even with a quality snowblower, I still f'd up my shoulder when hitting some unseen ice chunks. I'm guessing we at least 10 -13 inches here. And about 90 minutes later already drifted over again. Sumbitch
