This had to happen on Superbowl Sunday

gudnoyez

We were supose to get 4-6 inches think we got around 8-9 inches of the wet heavy stuff, they said some areas could get up to 10 inches im thinking that we are in that area spose to taper off later today, got some cleaning up to do before the game dang it all. I have the biggest house and yard on the block with a lot of sidewalk and a big hill going to our garage, I will be busy for a while double dang it all.

We're getting our "dose" of new snow starting around midnight. The forecast is for up to 18" over the 24-hours following. It is also supposed to be very, very cold; so, at least, it is not likely to be that heavy, wet snow that is so miserable -- and tiring to move.

My sympathies are with you. While you're using the shovel, take your time and be safe!

Yikes! Pace yourself bro. Think its just gonna miss us in SW Ohio.

Looks about right, the drive to HyVee this morning was fun. Saw a few people stuck on Hickman trying to get up a hill, excuse me while I drift by your stuck car sideways laughing. Always fun. Thankfully the SB party I'm going to is a block away, strap on the yak tracks and go.

Measured 12 inches on the patio this morning in far western West Des Moines...and it is still coming down. NWS says another 3-5 inches before it quits...and we have a nice 25mph wind with 30+mph gusts out here...yay!

I'd say we're at 13 inches just got in from the first part of the clean up we could see another 3-4 inches the snow was pretty heavy and broke a few branches on our tree pulled the mediacom cable right out of the side of the house so no Internet or tv power is out in some areas no super bowl for me unless I hook up an antenna.

Dang it all the only good thing is the neighbor lady gave us a 25 dollar gift certificate for Culver's for digging her out. Here is some sideways pics from the phone only have 4G regular broadband is down.

a backpack leaf blower can do a hell of a job if you use it before the snow hardens, good luck don't overdo it.

Just heard on the radio some wraparound effect still has to pass through a few more inches at least then subzero Temps tomorrow yea look out northeast this stuff is heading your way at least we got lots of guacamole and chips friends are not coming over the roads are a mess.

75° and a little cloudy here in SoCal, I'm a little worried!

mrbiron

Oh boy...more snow!
I see 12" coming our way on top of the already astronomical amount.
As long as your power doesn't go out, your SB will be fine.

I stopped joking about snow back east, because every time I do the earth starts shaking...

Mother nature decided shipping was too much.

I was figuring you were hoping the snow would slide sideways
down the roof!

Send that snow to the mountains out here in CA. We need it bad. If we have year 4 of drought we are going to be hurting big time this summer. Between no water for the yard, reduced water for farmers, mandatory rationing, and raging brush fires everywhere, it will be a rough year. I don't even want to think a 5 year drought will bring.

waited till just before dark to start and I'm done here in Cleveburg. (for now)

Yeah we went to HyVee last night took advantage of their hot deals got Pizzas avacados stuff for friends to come over and enjoy the game. It was a zoo at HyVee with the storm coming the Super Bowl glad you made it back safe. I'am ready for the game got an antenna hooked up and lots of HyVee goodies to eat let the game begin. It is still snowing oops they finally kicked off.

we have 10" now up in Waterloo, and finally looks like the back end is dying down. My boss picked a good week to go to Florida.... really looking forward to driving out onto the gravels in the morning.

Final "Trained Spotter" total for between Waukee and West Des Moines: 15.5" (Average of 8 measurements taken out of the wind.)

Feelin' bad for ya, dude! To say that we got a "dusting" up here would be generous. I attacked it with a BROOM and had the driveway and sidewalk done in about 10 minutes.

Be careful out there all of you that got dumped on, especially in the case of the wet/heavy stuff.

This was the deck after the Superbowl last night before bed...

gudnoyez

I hear ya so Iowa City got nailed to huh, shot of our deck this morning I think we ended up with 15 inches still got to see the game though on e Temps get out of the below zero mark it's time to fire up the drift buster.

I talked to my brother yesterday who is in IC, he said he spent twenty five minutes trying to get his car out but only ended up with one half in the yard and the other in the driveway. I'm in Urbandale, about to venture out to WDM, snow doesn't stop work.

gudnoyez

I thought you were in Iowa City my bad hey you and Ryan can get together and dig each other out. The wife got stuck on her way to work this morning dug her out, I took a casual day if you want to call cleaning this mess a casual day.

I dug out yesterday afternoon. Spent nearly 2 hours shoveling my tiny little driveway and that was with the bare spot from my car. The 4 or so feet tall drift on the south side of my car made for some fun times.
