Looking ahead, we may just want to assume it's going to snow every Friday..

Plow cleared our street around 8 pm last. I went out and cleared the end of our driveway then along with doing 3 other driveways. Wind was still out of the south but not to bad compared to earlier in the afternoon.

Snowblower died, it just needed a mixed drink of 50:1.

6 inches of snow with a tenth an inch of ice on top of it in Monticello. The lawn tractor plow could barely handle to get it pushed out of the way

I debated it, but I'm glad I cleared my driveway last night around 9 or so. CR got about 4.5 inches but not much freezing rain. Just enough to keep the snow in place, so very little blowing right now.

At least she’s in good spirits about it. I don’t think I’d be capable of handling that situation with any sort of grace.

First time I saw a vapor in a vehicle it was in a small S10 type pickup. I was in a caseys and all of a sudden I see this cab loaded with smoke. Thought it was a fire or something.

I'm in Marion and glad I cleared my drive today. I cleared my back porch and part of the yard last night for the dog, which now that area is iced over. My drive had ice/harder snow on top, which was no issue for my snowblower, leaving a driveway without ice.

Opened everything up today, waited till 10 or so to start, wind still blowing stuff around but doesn't seem to be drifting back in too bad. Roads aren't to shiny county roads are icy 4 lanes have 1 good lane, visibility anything from 0 to 1 mile depending on the wind gusts.

Drove back from Chicago yesterday on I-80. Shortly after coming into Iowa, a big SUV was trying to merge in front of a semi. Rather than slow down and merge behind the semi, the SUV tried to speed up and then started losing control. It wasn't yet too slippery, but he did a 180 in front of the semi. I was in the left lane just a little bit behind the semi trying to give him room to move over if he needed to. The SUV eventually got some grip and shot over into the median and then looked like it was going to come back in the road. Fortunately, it stopped in the median and the semi and us just drove by. Quite the freaky experience. Sorry no video.

Anybody know how to get urine stains out of car upholstery? Asking for a friend.
