East Dubzz Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 And it's done snowing here. I would assume around 1.5" total. Very happy with that, wEspecially because I woke up during a very heavy burst! It's some wet snow too, so it'll be harder to melt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

East Dubzz Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 Now the wind becomes a factor. It will blow and drift in some areas, but I don't think overall it should be terrible. It is a pretty wet and heavy snow, which should limiting the drifting a little bit at least. Plus, 1.5" isn't a ton to blow around in the first place and the pretty decent snow pack we have underneath that is very compacted as well, which makes it harder to drift. Should see some, but it shouldn't be too bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

East Dubzz Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 Was getting the feel a couple people from E Iowa on another weather chat I'm on we're believing my ~1.3" total, so I went on a bit of a picture rampage once I got back from school to prove it. These were taken after being able to compact all day..Those two were towards the front of my driveway, this one is towards the end which is a little more subject to wind, and you can tell it hasn't had much of an impact because it's a very wet and heavy snow:And I even took one on my neighbors driveway for more proof lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 D**n, that sucks...I thought for sure you would be in a good spot to get 3-4". Temps are crashing here now and winds are howling. Wet pavement becoming frozen. Travel may be dicey later tonight. I was hoping for 1-2" but we got barely 0.2". Maybe some back wash snow showers will hit the area but not expecting much.
