27.1” this season at DSM. I think it started hot but faded like most areas west of the lakes.

Yeah it's been a good winter here. Had the fast start like everyone else, but had that very localized 10 inch snow in mid January right before the cold blast that gave us snow depth for it. However, I do not care for some of these solutions to say the least. Two feet of fluffy cement snow and wind is bad, very bad.

18Z GEFS 

PLEASE NOTE 10:1 Mean which is prolly overstated.

Goodness gracious. This is shaping up to be one of the most memorable Marches (March’s?) in quite sometime in the lower Great Lakes.

Going to have a huge impact on the late week warm-up if this were to transpire unfortunately

To be honest, that's the least of my concerns. Massive clean up ongoing around here from the tornado. Tomorrows winds to 60 mph not going to help. But throw a foot of cement on top of it all, not ideal. Of course snow is my #1, so I'm rooting it on, but just trying to be real.

living the dream^

[Cary67]

If only winter storms here were as reliable as tornados

[cyclone77]

Looking good for you guys north and east.  Any delay in the bombing will likely bump us out too far west, which will likely happen lol.

The dumb default iPhone weather app shows 16-19” of snow here Sunday and the normies are freaking out.
