I am not elderly, but definitely too old to end up in the ditch. I lived in Waterloo most of my life and made many harrowing trips to Hilton. I won't do that anymore. Leaning towards going, hate to miss beating KU.[/QUOTE

Agree, I'm too old, & old enough to know better then risking things for a basketball game. But dang, I hate missing this game. Still only 32 and supposedly dropping to 30 here in west central Iows. Hate these decisions. Assume there will be tickets available from no shows?..but how do they become available if people stay home with them???

On a related issue, if you're planning on trying to get some cheap tickets on stubhub from folks that can't go - you don't have to print those, you can just open the pdf on your phone and have them scan it there. So you can drive to the game and buy tickets 15 minutes before tip off from your car if you need to.

Anyone know the condition of the road through Slater coming in the west side of ames? Kids had the day off for MLK day so I haven't ventured out at all.

I drove from Ankeny to Story City in 50 minutes at 6AM. Roads in town in Story City are drastically better now than this AM.

Shouldnt be a problem

The Hilton lot will probably be worse than the roads.

The Hilton lot will probably be worse than the roads.

It would be nice if they sand/salted it when it was empty this am.

I drove from Zearing to Nevada on the blacktops about 1:00 this afternoon. The snowplows had cut the ice off and roads were just wet where they had gone. They were about 40% clear (two clear tracks) on the one road they had not yet got to. Central Iowa people should be good to go.

A snowplow took out my mailbox this morning, thanks to the driver for reporting it though!

They probably sanded and salted the lot in the middle that sits half empty.

I 35 North of Ames is OK. Icy under bridges, but otherwise navigable

 

[cyclonepower]

they will be fine, get to the game...

I agree, but what are the odds they're squared away like that?
I also expect complete disaster on campus tomorrow.

Refreeze after the game would be my only concern.



Luckily all those chumps who leave with 4 minutes left in the game will get to 30/35 to get them warming up before I leave.

Go! Worst case scenario, you drive home carefully allowing you an extra hour in the car to savor the win.

Tried to sell that to the wife....she didn't budge.

Hilton lots not bad.

Hilton lots not bad.

Are you there? The lots are my biggest concern. My driveway is awful, never seen it more slick. Not sure how much refreeze get there will be growing from 33 to 32. If chemicals are down there should not be much difference.

I suspect they were going for the agree button and hit the wrong one. I do that once in a while.

Just got to Ames from Newton. Roads were perfectly fine. If you are still debating, GO!
