Almost all of Jones County is in the 0-2% range and there still isn't a burn ban. Every surrounding county has a burn ban

There was a fairly big field fire north of Waterloo yesterday. Not sure what started it, but I wouldn’t burn a thing out in the country right now. Everything is a tinderbox.

It's amazing there haven't been more field fires with the conditions. It doesn't look like any notable rain chances through the end of the month either.

Cedar Rapids
There was one by Prairieburg yesterday as well. Not very big from the sounds of it but a field with standing corn.

1) There was a large grass fire on the shoulder of southbound I-35 just south of Ames. That was happening this evening.
2) Facebook memories tells me that we had our first measurable snowfall, even if just a trace, four years ago.

What is this water stuff coming from the sky this morning? Should I be concerned that I’ve angered the gods? Or have I done right by them? I think I’ll need to sacrifice a pig on my BBQ either way to be sure.

Itty bitty drops for about 30 seconds when I let the dog out in the middle of the night in the southern Iowa desert. No visible signs that such a miracle occurred this morning though so maybe it was a dream.
