Good grief. There is still only a 30% chance of severe weather, and beginning in the EVENING at that.

Central Iowa
The only thing I hate about Iowa is (central Iowa at least) is how thin skinned people are about the weather. The TV weatherman calls for 0.002" of snow, people head to the grocery store and buy 18 gallons of milk, 25 lbs of hamburger, and 150 lbs of wheat. My in-laws won't even plan to go anywhere from Oct - April because "it could snow." :confused:

If it rains, put on your big boy pants and go to the game. :realmad:

The game is being moved to the Uni-dome.

We have dibs on running out of the garage door.

Who says that in Iowa? For most people, regardless of the weather, it's business as usual. We can't control it so why worry about it. Plus, don't most households have one vehicle with 4WD?

What do you guys think are the chances of the grass student lot being open? I'm thinking it'll be closed, but some of my buddies are much more optimistic..

It will be open. Rain amounts do not look to be all that high right now, and the ground is about as dry/hard as it can be right now. At worst, they would prohibit buses and campers.

In marshall county yes. In urban Iowa no, very few do.
