Sounds more like daytime running lights than automatic headlights in that case. Wouldn’t really be very automatic if the tail lights didn’t come on also.

I wish I could have seen that far at times. Many times the grain hopper 4 or so vehicles in front of me would disappear and I could only see two cars sitting infront of me.
My parents said at 7 pm the school still has students there because it wasn’t safe for them to go home. They had fire trucks blocking the roads leaving town. Crazy stuff
Probably what I'm referring to but I've also seen plenty of cars with headlights on with no rear lights showing when it's dark.
Crazy that we are now looking at a month long stretch of 40 degree or warmer weather.
Good choice by the school system. Those kids will be just fine there. That happened 1 yr when I was in about 5th grade it did calm down by about 5 or so and the buses took us home.
Had to drive from Mason City back to the Ft. Dodge last night after work. Was able to leave a little early while it was still light and I am glad I did.
Visibility was off (bad but manageable) and on (no issues) for most of the trek down 35. Same when I got off @ the Woolstock exit. 4 miles outside of town on a county road it got real and I had to stop and wait it out with a couple of other cars. We were right next to an acreage and couldn’t see their driveway (even with their yard light on). After about 20 minutes the squall subsided enough and we were able to creep in to town. Easily the worst driving conditions I had even encountered.

On the bright side, if you lived west of town it smelled a whole hell of a lot better for a little bit before your house was ripped off its foundation
I better call and make sure Camanche is still existing before I head there for family Xmas tomorrow.
If those winds are from the east, you aren’t getting there anyhow.
Time for the days to start getting longer
