This kind of weather and a favorite oatmeal stout go well together.
January is the worst month of the year, followed by February.
I miss my apartment in downtown Madison during this type of weather. It would shut down and people would cross country ski around the streets.

I was in a prop plane when hurricane sandy was hitting the U.S. I was on the western fringe of the storm, but winds were gusting over 50 mph easily. The winds were perfectly parallel to the runway. Pilot had no issues taking off.
Now making that 180 degree turn shortly after takeoff was a harrowing experience!
1973 must have been the year we tried sledding off the garage roof because the drifts were so high. Fail (we ended up in the drift several times). But fun!
True. Enjoying this xmas gift tonight.

But I'm sure it felt worth it for the likely huge surge of customers/guests today......
I just called in for my night job. Thanks to all the random folks who helped me get unstuck each time. Never had any of that before, but some genuinely nice folks involved in that tonight.
I've called the morning job as a contingency already, but I'll be out before dawn giving it a shot.
It looks as if there are 5 more flights scheduled to land in DSM tonight. Two from NYC...one from Minneapolis...one from Detroit and one from Atlanta.
Unless the Cowboys are connecting with any of those........looks like they are not coming.

I was only day employee that did come in but I need to average a certain number of hours to maintain health insurance so I had no choice but to go into work.
Like I said before...drove from DSM to Ames and back this afternoon. Wouldn't do it after dark. Roads were fine.......visibility going to Ames wasn't the best in a few spots. Might wait to see what tomorrow brings if possible.

Yup. We have folks in that boat, too.
I'm just looking ahead to bills in February. I'd prefer this weekend not to be what it will be.
On the other hand, if I can get there, and I think that maybe I can, there might be a good chance to do the whole shift. I assume that people will be calling out.
Being an Iowan I would never make that call this far out unless you were planning to go tonight. At this point I’m still planning to head up from SE Iowa for the men’s and women’s games. I need to get my kid back to Ames sometime this weekend
