Ended up having to fix the mounting on the snow blower, too heavy apparently for the design and way they welded it. I still have to finish the restructure, but have it fortified enough to hopefully get through the rest of the season. Kinda looks like I will need it later this afternoon... We got a good glaze of ice to start, then it is snowing quite well now...

Waterloo/CF was spared from the snow forecast. Only a couple inches of sleet left this morning. Other areas west and north got a full measure sounds like.

We ended up with a couple inches of wet snow, but half of it melted away yesterday afternoon, and most of the rest should be gone today.

we got mostly rain, just a dusting of snow at the end. Had 1/2" of sleet in 15 minutes at Ankeny before I baled out. I heard it got worse after I left.

Made it to the competition, dealt with a bit of politics, did a little sight seeing, made it home for work again... All in all, not bad.
