Open Burning

Read what you can and cannot burn in the state of Iowa, and where to find more information about open burning.

www.iowadnr.gov

Yes I'm almost certain rural Iowa folk follow that law.

 

[NWICY]

Those things should not be allowed on campus. And anyone who orders their use should be required to walk every inch of those polished routes, starting 15 min after the machine passes.

Those were a hazard when I was there. Not looking forward to the drive or the mess around Hilton tomorrow.

 

[NWICY]

Better duck for cover. I agree with you but, some of our fans went nuts last year when we canceled the drake game so the players could beat the storm and get home for Christmas

I was disappointed on that cancelation but understood it. This is actually quite a bit worse storm. imo.

January is the worst month of the year, followed by February.

But February is the longest month.

Yeah I didn't say it's enforced haha.

I may hsve stopped a couple of grass fires last summer because of people being so conditioned to just burning everything while it was super dry.

 

[brianhos]

So, we're absolutely certain that no one should try CR to Ames for the men's game, right? Just need confirmation before giving my tickets to my Ames friends.

I am not sure I am even making the trip from Ankeny.

One of our neighbors burns crap all of the time. He was burning finished furniture this summer. Dark black smoke and chemicals in the air, I had an asthma attack from inside the house. One of our neighbors called the cops, all they did was make him douse the fire. Two days later, he was back to burning all his crap that wouldn’t fit in his tiny garbage container.

The release from Iowa State sounded like they were hoping people would not show up.

Yeah, i'm very much eyeing the conditions. Its looking very iffy with the winds.

 

[NENick]

Might be common for you urban folk. Outside of a temporary country wide burn ban that is occasionally issued, I don't know of any other permanent laws regarding the use of fire out here in the country.

I thought the original post, from Bellevue, was more referring to pouring gas on the driveway. That's a groundwater issue and, I think, against the law most places.

 

[Letterkenny]

We had a big snow in either 2018 or 2019. I strapped my snow shoes on that night to take the dogs for a walk in Beaverdale. Might repeat that tonight.

 

[alarson]

So did OSU end up making a flight up here?

 

[chuckd4735]

It looks as if there are 5 more flights scheduled to land in DSM tonight. Two from NYC...one from Minneapolis...one from Detroit and one from Atlanta.

Unless the Cowboys are connecting with any of those........looks like they are not coming.

Flight plan is still there....

Outside of maybe the Super Bowl Sunday, it really does dragged out.

 

[CRcyclone6]

Wife called in to work. Hopefully she can make it to IC tomorrow night.

Did you see that only lots C1 and C2 are reserved? Everything else is "general admission" so to speak.

 

[Entropy]

Holy crap.

 

[JP4CY]

Snow almost up to mailbox height. Next plow pass by will get it there.

I have a Subaru if you want to carpool. We have not heard if Okie St is even here yet have we? If they are not, it's just not going to happen.
