Iowa State announces second straight day of class cancellations due to extreme cold
Iowa State canceled in-person classes Monday and Tuesday morning on account of the extreme cold weather gripping much of the U.S. this week.www.amestrib.com
Its definitely seemed like they've been more likely to close down for poor weather the last decade vs back in the 00s. There were several days I can remember they probably should have closed.
I distinctly remember the weather person saying it was dangerous for exposed skin over 15 minutes, roommate and I joked the walk to Design may be the end. Eyelashes froze together.
With the wind blowing like it is, it would basically be just wasting gas.
Ask how my mom burnt down the garage at our Chicago suburban house back in the fall of '79? Burn barrel.
I regret not taking a few swipes throughout the day. I may have avoided a broken implement if I had.
Maybe? I mean, the longer it goes without plowing, the more snow gets added to the amount that's being packed down onto the road as there will still be some driving.
Which will be a real mess when the temps drop sub-zero and icemelt won't work.
Is the skid loader a nice one with heated cab, door, and windshield wiper? Ours is open station not much enjoyment in that.
I'm a little worried about this. Worked from home, but stayed busy, so didn't go over the driveway. Didn't feel like it after dark. Hoping our residential side street doesn't get plowed until I can get out there in the morning. That end of driveway will be hard as a rock!

I was an undergrad when they closed in the 90s for the first time in about 50 years. I'm still shocked every time it happens, but good call.
Well thought about moving nephew and nieces BB game, but everyone's other weekends are booked. So I think we are going to give it a go tomorrow. Ames at noon baby!
Ah, didn’t realize this one was the big deal game! Hope it works and everyone stays safe.
1994 right around this time? In HS, we had finals, and then a five day weekend. (MLK, Teachers' In-Service, Day Where Windchill Would Hit -40) That was a pretty brutal winter when it came to temps in the Midwest.
Should just delay the semester start until the week after, for any students still have yet to return to Ames, no need to come back this weekend to allow all the clean up from the Blizzard.
