Anddddddd the ice hath arrived. More like graupel.

511ia.org would be a better source than CF if you’re worried about driving conditions. Not everything posted here is meant to be taken seriously.

What about lease vs buy decisions?

 

[CyCrazy]

Drizzly and low 30s here around Ames. High winds. I expect icing soon.

It's here

Now we're at the snow stage, but it's that tiny stuff that blows everywhere before it actually lands on the ground. Not amounting to much.

So far...

 

[4cy16]

20 degrees in FD currently while it is 49 in Davenport.

Timed my run perfectly it looks like! Didn't get too much freezing rain, and turned to snow during it. The wind sucks running into though.

 

[twojman]

Snow squall warning west central iowa and heading east.

Conditions deteriorating quickly in the western des moines suburbs

Man, I’m all for running when it’s 10 degrees and no wind, but this just sucks. Kudos to you though, takes a lot running in this.

This is definitely getting close to my limit! The snow was better than the freezing rain though.

I like the fog/mist with no wind. It's very peaceful.

Today, though, is not peaceful.

Yeah, but "THERE'S SOMETHING IN THE MIST!"

Son took off almost an hour ago. Was supposed to be a pocket that didn’t develop, guess he should have taken off the 30-45 minutes sooner that he held off on. Heading east so I hope he runs out of it somewhat.

Within the last hour, the temp has dropped 13 degrees here in the Laplands and the cows have all moved south to the hoop buildings...some of them were running. Who needs NOAA? Cows will never steer you wrong.

Slight nerd out here. I often think about generations before us and how they handled weather that we experience now. I imagine something like that would be one of their main warning signs.

Sheep will, though. I have seen a flock huddle together against the fence in the corner of the pasture during a rainstorm. Meanwhile, there is a lean-to shelter in the opposite corner more than big enough to contain them all.

That, and the "rheumatiz" in their joints...

 

[FLYINGCYCLONE]

Visibility is less then 1/4 mile. If you gotta travel, get there before dark.

Almost out of the worst month of the year. December always gets my vote for worst. Shortest days of the year, and it always seems like we have this foggy gloomy crap for some of it. Think I’ll prefer the blizzard to this.

Just wanna make sure I'm understanding you correctly. You'd take this crap over fog and 40 some degrees with no wind?
