Now I know why. I need more "up-slop"

.UPDATE...
Issued at 1025 PM EST Thu Jan 14 2021

It is looking like the risk of getting 2 to 4 inches of snow over
our northeast counties in the next 36 hours has increased. Most of
the accumulating snow will be after 5 am Friday and last through
most the morning into mid afternoon before diminishing. The
combination of higher terrain and being near the pivot point for
the precipitation area and also being in the trowal will enhance
the precipitation (some help from up-slop too) Friday morning into
Friday afternoon. Surface temperatures will be just cold enough
for the snow to fall and accumulate. I will let the next shift
consider if we need a Winter Weather Advisory for this since
temperatures will be near freezing and the snowfall rates will
likely be less than a half inch an hour so most of the snow should
melt on the main roads. There may be travel issues on back roads
and overpasses.

Crushing cam models. Allready 2.5" when most cams as recent as 4Z had less than an inch. Radar is like DSM is ground zero. Trying to get some zzz zzz's but it's tough.

15/0z NAM gives me some snow tomorrow morning while the HRRR shafts me. Has snow literally a half county NE of me.

This would fit the pattern to date for here:

I just happened to notice DSM was included in the Blizzard Warning....how long has it been since a legit Blitz hit the region?  By that I mean, heavy snow and strong winds and not just wind driven snow obscuring viz??

Wow, this is a long duration event with Blitz conditions!

Unreal. Haven't been out yet but heaviest snow I've seen in street lights in a long time. Atmosphere is literally reverse peristalzyling itself of locked up moisture in snow. Will go for a drive in a bit. Radar continues to concentrate in and around DSM vcnty.

In a lull rn, and it has that "storm over" feeling. Hopefully some more stuff drops in from the northeast. I'd estimate around an inch so far when avoiding drifts and areas where it's competely blown away. Kinda meh but I'm surprised to even have this much so far.

First off I thought you are an amputee, but I see you’re just straddling a drift! Lol Like the picture though. Thanks.

Probably gusts to 40, maybe 45. My son took a video of me busting through it and he was probably 150' away on the other side and I couldn't see him in headlights.
