Drove from CR to Ames and back today. Super foggy nearly the whole way, but particularly bad in Benton/Linn counties.

Get some sun over the next week or so and the grass will be green again.

The entire state by what I can tell. I think we're supposed to be in the 40's up on the MN border.

Grass is actually looking pretty green today.

We are lucky we don't have daylight saving time right now. That extra hour of sunlight would probably make mowing necessay...

Facebook did one of those flashbacks for me to a post I made 14 years ago. Shoveled a measly 5" yesterday but in 2010 it was already 34" by December 15th.

I enjoy snow...at temps above 25 with NO wind! The high winds and bitterly cold temps I could do without!

Another day without snow is another day without snow before spring. Kind of nice to think about it that way. I despise one inch at a time. Give me a bunch at once, or several time a year.

OMG THATS WHAT SHE SAID

If she has ever said anything, this is it!

Snow is acceptable on Dec 24th and Dec 25th. It must then disappear on the 26th never to be seen until next Christmas.

Honestly last year wasn't so bad in Des Moines. 10 days and something like 30 inches of snow. But then we barely had anything the rest of the year.

This sux balls. Bring on the snow and cold. Let's ice fish.
