I don't mind the snow. I don't mind driving on it, and I'll likely be shoveling older neighbors drive/walkways(at least enough to get them in and out before it melts).

Expecting 6-12 inches in Des Moines tonight.. yuck.

Yuck to getting snow? Or yuck to living in Des Moines? I lived in the Quad cities for 4 years and dated a girl that went to college in Des Moines for a couple years and despised it (IA in general, not just Des Moines)

And, for the record. I fucking love snow too! I just hate the bitter-ass cold that usually comes after a good snowfall

It was almost 80 here again today. You would think you would eventually get used to it, but I don't think you ever really do. Tough to get in the Christmas spirit when you are wearing shorts and sandals every day.

Have you tried stringing lights on a palm tree? That's the only thing I can think of

Tomorrow night here via weather.com

Windy. Heavy snow in the evening will give way to snow showers overnight. Low near 25F. Winds WNW at 25 to 35 mph. 3 to 5 inches of snow expected. Winds could occasionally gust over 50 mph.

I don't care the amount...I hate this shit.

I wish you could send that westward for me. Our first forecast last night said 4-8 inches of snow. We got an inch and a half...:pity:

Four-wheel drive bitches. Bring on some powder :smug:

I do just fine with front-wheel drive. Usually it's not getting through the snow that's the problem, it's hitting a patch of ice and not being able to stop. AWD won't help with that.

That said, snow sucks. Wake me up in April.

[h=5]Dubuque County Engineer tells KWWL's Becca Habegger that county road conditions are deteriorating fast. The snow is blowing much faster than the 29 plows can keep up with, so he recommends people who take county roads to get home do so right now and stay home, because conditions will only get worse overnight and through the early morning hours.[/h]
