Popular Post ToastedRavs Posted December 22, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 22, 2022 Bars closing early tonight in Valley Junction area of West Des Moines sadly. But did manage to get a quick video and a few pics. Roughly 4- to 4.5" on ground. So about 2 to 2.5" already so not a bad start. Very picturesque and roads just snow packed. Easy driving so far before the wind kicks up overnight 20221221_191214.mp4 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OmahaSnowFan Posted December 22, 2022 Report Share Posted December 22, 2022 Ran an errand and was right about the time the “weenie band” was moving through town. Nice fluffy flakes that put down a few tenths of snow in about 10 minutes and then moved on. I’ve decided to document the blizzard here tonight when it hits later on. We have a new development right by my place that’s up on a hill and at this point really only has the streets and light poles so it’s pretty wide open. I’ll bring my anemometer and dashcam! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
