Since it does not appear they are already here I would bet good money both games get postponed from tomorrow.

Baylor WBB in Ames yesterday.

This is excellent advice.

I clean the flame sensor on my furnace and water heater every winter to prevent them from shutting down. Just check the model of your furnace and then Google how to clean the flame sensor for that model. You should be able to do it yourself.

The alternative is to pay $100+ to have an HVAC technician come to your house and do it for you.

Eh, I just pay every year to get my furnace tuned up. They know what their doing, I don't. My extent of furnace knowlege is changing the filter every couple months.

My husband still has to be at work at 5:30A tomorrow. *rubs temples* Frickin' sucks.

Yuck. I’ve turned into such a winter driving chicken since I’ve been able to work from home. On days like today, I’d have always took vacation. But now, I see 5 inches of snow and don’t want to leave.

 

[SaraV]

Just, don't go out.

Don't order food delivery.

I'm assuming a strong possibility about Okie St not travelling in bad weather and the game being postponed, considering what happened in 2011.

For the CR folks...Local Craft is offering 3x loyalty points today...I may make a trip before noon.

That just sounds smart. I think about all the awful weather I've pushed through (and will be stuck pushing through), and it seems like a bunch of mistakes more than anything else.

The low is slowing down in Illinois/Chicago area so will it mean more additional snow here? Maybe, we shall see, but still getting all that additional is still very problematic.

IU no longer attempting to fly to CID today, will try a same day flight in the morning.

It's an 8PM game, it seems afternoon once the wind dies down would be their best bet

 

[NoCreativity]

Why wouldn't Oklahoma State come in last night? That's just stupidity. Now we are going to be stuck inside all weekend with no game to watch.

 

[CyDawg23]

There is a wrestling meet on Sunday

Tripleheader sounds like fun.

There was also the osu mbb plane accident in 2001 which was winter weather related.

Baby boom mid to late October 2024 in Iowa?

I think Oklahoma was getting hit with 50mph+ winds yesterday.

 

[Ms3r4ISU]

Agreed. It's snowing like a banshee right now.

I thought banshees howled.

Yeah I’m pretty shocked they didn’t, and I agree that is stupid. I don’t see how they will get her before noon tomorrow.

Another good weather source I follow is the Iowa Storm Chasing Network on Facebook. Does a great job getting accurate information out.

Best part? Ran by an ISU alum

 

[Ms3r4ISU]

I feel like we need updated snow projections, haven't seen new ones since late yesterday afternoon.

See this guy's post from around 9 this morning: Midwest Weather.
