Extreme Blizzard Conditions: Dubuque, Iowa (12/20/2012)

This is a video of extremely high winds and heavy snowfall which occurred near Dubuque, Iowa with a powerful blizzard. Standing in the snow and wind felt like getting pelted in the face with gravel (which I have experienced while storm chasing). This was definitely one of the more extreme winter storms I have experienced in my lifetime.

@Bryce Link don't you mean Draco??

Haha no. The Weather Channel's naming system for winter storms is kind of a joke.

I live near Ames, and the wind was a constant 25-40mph with 50mph+ gusts, and we got about 10 inches of snow. How much did you guys up in Dubuque?

[Bryce Link]

Just a little over a foot.

What was the wind speed? It sounds ferocious!

[Bryce Link]

I'd say between 40 and 50 mph at the strongest. It really hurt standing in it!
