If you traveled across northern Iowa today... chances are you saw some of this. Nasty. Can easily lead to accidents.

This was actually on IA 14 at the Marshall/Grundy County Line. I was mistaken in my tweet.

 
Friend of mine driving Hwy 150 between Urbana and Independence ran into the same thing this afternoon.
 
Ground pretty much frozen. Only a 1/4 inch or so was thawed.

Yep, it's just kind of weird to think about. Like there was no in between rainy season/fall.

Either just frozen dry tundra or the snow two weeks ago.

Few years ago just south of Springfield IL on 55 this caused a massive pile up with many casualties. 6 dead. 3 dozen hurt. It was also timed with spring farm work so that made it even worse.

While you guys going outside are all going to die Monday - Wednesday I have a first world weather related issue to solve. My ancient little weather station won't connect to the remote sensor anymore. Any simple room temperature monitors with multiple stations you could recommend? Never used the remote sensor on the old one for outside, the wire mesh under my stucco and the heavy plaster in the old portion of the house pretty much killed the sensor range.

And, not looking for a full weather station thingie, just a thermometer center with three or four "rooms".

Maybe something like one of these?

So my weather app says a high of 60 today for central Iowa with blizzard conditions possible for Tuesday evening through Wednesday afternoon.

Welcome to March in Iowa.
