One of our neighbors burns crap all of the time. He was burning finished furniture this summer. Dark black smoke and chemicals in the air, I had an asthma attack from inside the house. One of our neighbors called the cops, all they did was make him douse the fire. Two days later, he was back to burning all his crap that wouldn’t fit in his tiny garbage container.Yes I'm almost certain rural Iowa folk follow that law.

The release from Iowa State sounded like they were hoping people would not show up.
Yeah, i'm very much eyeing the conditions. Its looking very iffy with the winds.
I thought the original post, from Bellevue, was more referring to pouring gas on the driveway. That's a groundwater issue and, I think, against the law most places.
We had a big snow in either 2018 or 2019. I strapped my snow shoes on that night to take the dogs for a walk in Beaverdale. Might repeat that tonight.
Did you see that only lots C1 and C2 are reserved? Everything else is "general admission" so to speak.
I have a Subaru if you want to carpool. We have not heard if Okie St is even here yet have we? If they are not, it's just not going to happen.
In Ankeny, the snow is over my chain link fence now in drifts. We can't see spots of it.
Update…snapped the winch link during my dig out attempt. Looks like I’ll need to walk over (about half a mile…up hill in 3 foot drifts, of course) and borrow my parent’s skid loader tomorrow
The same charter service and type of plane OSU is supposed to arrive on just landed in DSM... https://flightaware.com/live/flight/id/HWA3012-1705088459-sw-786p
When's the last time they closed for cold? I walked in some cold ass temps Freddy to Design one time back early 2009 maybe? Probably a lot easier to flip virtual in the post covid world.
The snow here is pretty wet. Iowa getting the same wet, heavy stuff?
Spent an hour on the business end of a shovel today before a neighbor came over and finished it off. Saved me about another 1/2 I'm guessing
Good question. I have strong memories of pulling kids stuck in snow banks back in 03/04, and still having class/lab.
2021 i think.
Iowa State announces second straight day of class cancellations due to extreme cold
Iowa State canceled in-person classes Monday and Tuesday morning on account of the extreme cold weather gripping much of the U.S. this week.

Its definitely seemed like they've been more likely to close down for poor weather the last decade vs back in the 00s. There were several days I can remember they probably should have closed.
