Maybe a bit over an inch... nothing much yet. The worst is still off to the SW... Schools are so gun shy these days and close early. Too many idiots and lawsuits... Used to be they would wait until things got to the point they needed to close, now they close on the threat. It isn't even windy yet...

Good morning Roger, Steve, and the Iowa gang! Thought I'd drop in and see what my neighbors are up to today!

It was snowing a little this morning. We had about 2" yesterday, and about another 3/4" this morning. How much have you guys gotten so far Roger?

Had 3 on Sunday night, most of that shrank down, maybe an inch or two so far today. Looking at the forecast breakdown, I should be able to get in to work and home again before the winds pick up. Tomorrow looks to be the time to look out for... I won't have to go anywhere for that if they cancel classes again, which I am sure they will since they cancelled today.

Yeah, it's supposed to get nasty. We'll have to see what the weather is doing, if I stay home or not. I can get pretty bad north of town on the highway if it's windy, lot's of white-outs.

I know what you mean...Lived in South Dakota for 8 years. It does that every so often around here, but nothing like it can get out there.

Its possible Roger, most people will probably be headed home or home by that time.

Yes. Its not supposed to stop snowing until tomorrow night, and they're saying 10-12" at this point. the snow is not the part they're worried about though, apparently tomorrow brings a blizzard warning...all this fresh snow and 50+ mph winds.

What about where you're at?

The same here Lisa. Depending on what Channel you watch, the Omaha stations are saying anywhere from 6-14 inches, and high winds. That should be pleasant.
