Even if we have none I'm good my biggest contract is seasonal and the contract is signed and the first check is on the way

Highs in the 40's, lows in the 20's for the next week starting Thursday

Yep saw that. Also snow not far from you in South Dakota later this week. Only about 3 weeks till we plowed the first time last year in central IA.

I'm getting ready

[ultimatelawns]

Cool. Love this time of the year but its always nerve racking trying to get all of the leaf jobs done. Just starting those tomorrow hear. Hope you get some of that white stuff soon.

I think we are closer to snow than we realize. The temps plummeted overnight, flurries here today (just enough to spot the grass at most) and the temp was supposed to be in the 60s again by monday, but they changed the outlook. Now it is going to be highs in the 50's through at least Wednesday. We have some moisture around here now with the recent rains, that should make snow a possibility.

Keep dreaming it is never going to happen. Just joking i hope sooner than later i am starting to get fired up.

NOAA has most of iowa in a drought condition for the winter again this year......lovely!

[Laner]

Figures....after how dry the summer and last winter were. I was looking at adding another plow to the fleet this winter, but lack of snow prediction sure makes it hard to justify.

[RedneckPlowGuy]

this is true - however, umtil we get snow, who kows if it will actually be a low/no snow year or not

[TPC Services]

Ok boys and girls!!! Are any of you Iowa boys up for a get together the weekend before Thanksgiving. I’ll post this in th off topic forum as well.

[Andrew010]

I'll be there.

from NOAA
THE 12Z GFS AND ECMWF HAVE COME INTO GOOD AGREEMENT WITH THE TIMING
OF THE COLD FRONT ON SUNDAY...AND CONTINUE TO SUGGEST A POTENTIAL
FOR HEAVY RAINFALL IN A POST FRONTAL BAND. FORCING FOR PRECIPITATION
THEN CONTINUES SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH MUCH OF MONDAY AS THE UPPER
TROUGH LIFTS NORTHEAST THROUGH THE REGION POSSIBLY IN A NEGATIVE
TILT FASHION. WHILE THERE ARE CONSIDERABLE DIFFERENCES IN HOW AND
WHEN THIS ENERGY LIFTS THROUGH THE REGION...CONFIDENCE IS INCREASING
THAT THIS FORCING WILL OVERLAP THE LOW LEVEL COLD ADVECTION
SUFFICIENTLY ENOUGH TO WARRANT AT LEAST A MENTION OF SNOW MIXED WITH
RAIN FROM SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY. WHILE THIS SYSTEM WILL CERTAINLY
CONTINUE TO EVOLVE IN THE FORECAST...BASED ON THE CURRENT
SETUP...THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR MEASURABLE SNOW THAT WILL BE
WATCHED CLOSELY. TEMPERATURE MONDAY WILL NOT LIKELY EXCEED THE 30S
OVER MOST OF THE AREA...FOLLOWED BY WIDESPREAD 20S MONDAY



I will believe it when i see it but it is good to see some signs though.

Landed a parking garage contract today. Guy that owns it said he was seeing snow around the 8th of December in the forecast. So he wanted to get someone lined up.

[BORIS]

Maby he needs to be a weather forcaster i will mark down the 8th on the calnder

[BORIS]

Update average winter snow fall now from noa

[BORIS]

Maby the cold is here to stay this time. I hope if it gets this cold it starts snowing and dont stop till march. We will see.
