Iowa Winter Storms One Two Punch January 2024!

I just got the update on what I think is Winter Storm Gerri. The National Weather Service has now upgraded this catastrophe in our area to a Blizzard Warning.

Iowa is getting a one, two punch from winter storms Finn and Gerri.  We hardly got a break from Finn’s left hook before Gerri’s right cross connected.

This morning we scraped off less than an inch of new snow that fell last night. We might get from 8-12 inches of new snow. Wind gusts could be up to 50 mph with dangerous wind chills over the next several days. The party gets started late tonight.

If you want to drive anywhere, I suggest a Big Wheel race around your living room.

Calm After Winter Storm Finn

Winter Storm Finn was a very blustery thing. Sena got a video of our backyard, though, which presents the calm after the storm. The heavy snow makes all the trees bow, as if in homage to nature, whatever its form.

That said, we’re hoping Winter Storm Gerri tones it down a little.
