How Much Snow ?

I was just outside at 10pm & Im looking at 3.5″-4″ in different areas.Im wondering about other areas? Glad I’m not in Iowa this week. Chippewa Falls,WI

Just a guess here but it looks like 2″ – 3″ on the ground so far here in S. Metro.

About the same down here in town, Brian.

Nice thing about this snow is that it is bone dry. It’s just as easy to sweep away as it is to shovel it.

Are the big pumpkinseeds ready to go on “Lake X” yet?

I’m supposed to go to Cedar Rapids Wed afternoon.
What are my chances??

Lets just say the eyes have it on lake X & the pannies come in second. I will be stompin about the northwoods next week.

I am guessing at 5″ plus in Holmen WI. They have already called over a dozen schools closed for tomorrow.

The wind is really blowing hard and about 6 to 9 inches here in NW Iowa. Just got out of the hot tub outside, it was a cold run to the house!!

Rochester is getting the worst of it must have 3″ to 4″ right now, looking at 6″ to 7″ by the time it is all over.

All Rochester school have closed for Wed.

Well we are under a blizzard warning. 9-12″ forecasted (alot now), drifts suppose to be up to 3′. I would check road reports some are closed right now (don’t think any that would affect u right now) and with 50+ mph gust it might be dangerous. If you can, come another time if not be careful and prepared.

I got to take care of this tomorrow.

about 10 and rising winona area

Leaving to go plow snow now in byron i would say we got another 3 to 4 since i shoulved at 7 last night let her buck

Take that back about 6 since 7 last night got to go

NW wisconsin has about 2 to 3″

I got about 4-6″ on my deck Almost as much snow as we had in your boat the day we were out in October

Were getting heavy snow Chris and its been snowing like this all night. Along the line of hwy. 30 is the area where its supposed to be the deepest amounts and its a solid 10″ here. Usually you can hear the plows all night clearing the main roads and I haven’t heard them yet and the secondary roads aren’t plowed yet. I know theres 10″ to 12″ on my workbench outside the front door. Then we’re supposed to get up to 50 mph. winds today. Last year we had a snow similar to this but with slower winds and we had 10′ drifts and farmers were snowed in for over a week because of the drifts. I’ve been up for around an hour and haven’t seen any cars on Wilson ave., a main road, were snowed in. A plow truck just went up my road and the snows going over the top of the blade, this is the most snow we’ve had this early as far back as I can remember. If your coming down 380 to around the Rockwell-Collins area you should be ok.

Tough to tell here in the NW metro. She’s howling pretty good. Should make for one heck of an interesting commute today. Yippy.

I have about 12″ now in NE Iowa, and it’s still coming down, the big winds are just west of me. They closed the plant where my wife works.

At 6:30 this beautiful winter morning the Ch 19 news is reporting in excess of 12″ in La Crosse. Sure wish it would have waited until there was some good ice set under it.

While the Rochester city streets are cleared, the primary streets anyway, the driveway had just over 15 inches on the flat. Where the plow pushed the snow into the entry of the driveway it was a brem about 8 feet from front to back and just about 4 feet high…..just enough to clear the curb and go over our sidewalk.

The wind is the killer here. Where the lpows have cleared the snow, drifts develope in less than five minutes.

As my name says. I think I will wait this one out.
I am afraid to look outside but suppose I will have to face Mother Nature sooner or later. May as well be now I guess.
I haven’t heard a state or city plow yet!

You know it is bad outside when the National news ( The Early Show ) is reporting from your town, Rochester MN.

Time to go and dig out from what the snow plow threw in my driveway

14″ here in PdC as of 6am this morning…with 2-4 more inches today

30 mph winds with higher gusts to 60 mph are expected !!

It’s a ghost town here at 3M !!!

Not sure how much we got in Hastings, the lovely wind has moved things around a bit, drift on top of the truck was from the hood to the top of the roof this morning….

Made blowing the drive way easy, just put it in the air and let the wind take it.

Roads are really pretty good coming north, not much traffic at 6 am, work is pretty quiet right now.

Couldn’t tell how much we got in Rogers. I had spots in the drive way that were 4′ drifts and spots that had nothing. Love the country living… Only took me an hour from Rogers to Edina, but I also left @ 6:00AM. If I didn’t have 85 things to clear from the desk I would have worked from home.

15″ plus winona rushford area

In Andover, MN (north metro) I would guess we got at the most 3″

Maybe 4 to 5″ here in Lilydale. I got a snow day because I’m working at the middle school in Hastings these days. My son got a snow day because W St Paul, Mendota Heights, Eagan closed. (for him). My daughter goes to Highland Catholic and she has school . And my wife has to go to work

Looks l;ike the further N you go the better the ice fishing forecast looks. I might have to bust the ice gear out this year since pool 2 looks hopeless for at least a while.

Got this from one of my crews in Rembrandt Iowa this morning….
