I wouldn't surprise me, they seem to be reactive instead of proactive. We've known about this for a week now, maybe longer.

Yes it's them that are reactive.

I think the neighbor upgraded from single stage to dual stage snow blower. I think "new equipment fever" got him, as he cleared my driveway.

Oklahoma schools close, move to remote learning Friday due to winter weather

Some Oklahoma school districts have already made adjustments to their Friday schedules because of the winter weather and cold temperatures.

That's for today, yesterday it was 64 there. Their wind chill alerts don't even start until Saturday night.

Let's also consider private jets over chartered planes. Oh, and NFL budget vs NCAA.

Booking flights on a whim these days is pretty legit.

Not.

Holy sh!t let it go!

Unless OK state is traveling via teleportation, I don’t see how that matters.

The point was using the forecast, I wouldn't be travelling on Friday in Stillwater or Ames. Thursday was fine and this was well known in the forecast a few days ago at both locations.

not a huge deal, just curious is all.
I highly doubt hotel space is an issue for this, especially when you know they already had reservations for Friday night.

Cool but something happened that made it hard to just up and get a flight.

Maybe the weather in both places made a difference?

Don't you not even go to or watch the games or something? Why so worried?

 

[RoseClone]

I can certainly understand not wanting to come in today or even tommorrow l, but they could have proactively came in early yesterday. We've known about these systems for over a week now, it's not like a derecho just popped up.

Holy smokes, it's a basketball game. It'll be fine. My suggestion is you start drinking....now....heavily.

 

[NoCreativity]

Holy sh!t let it go!

I want some basketball tommorrow dammit! I've been pumped to keep this momentum going since Tuesday night. I might be forced to watch the Big 10 or something as a last resort if the game is called.

From 5 foot drifts to bare ground. Wind still blowing, but snow is letting up.

 

[flycy]

So you support mowing your lawn at six in the morning on a Saturday? Thank God we’re not neighbors.

I'm not going to, but my neighbors are free to if they'd like.

Hasn't the weather been bad in Iowa all week?

 

[awd4cy]

They’ve reported close to 7 in Ames.

Thoughts and prayers to you during this difficult time.

Don't you live in Iowa? Most of Wednesday and Thursday were completely fine for travel in Central Iowa.

Eh, Wednesday & yesterday were fine, typical winter days.

Truth. Sister and niece posted me pics of their neighbor blowing their driveways and walks. Once some guys get out there it's all Tim Allen grunting. Maybe payback because late BIL used to have the BIG snow chucker and was the guy that did half their hood.

No, I don't.

I'm guessing they tried to figure it out and couldn't and that's just how it goes.

Yeah I'm judt going off of rural schools in easrern Iowa cancelling a lot this week.

20? More like 35.
