Lol, you would think this was N. Carolina or something calling 2 inches of snow a blizzard. :wideeyed: Anyway the snow mostly fell apart/went east before reachingOttumwa.

Heavy snow, albeit short duration snow + very strong winds can easily cause blizzard conditions. Schools in North Dakota(including the universities) were closed today due to blizzard conditions despite getting a couple inches or less from this same system.

Came out of nowhere. I went home early as I was sick, rested, woke up and saw the chaos on Facebook. I lucked out, I rode my motorcycle yesterday...had I not gone home early, real tricky ride home!!!

Had texts last night from a buddy and my brother and it took them each over 3 hours to get from Nationwide downtown back near Jordan Creek. Crazy.

It's bad. I just rear-ended my wife.

Shoot I don't feel so bad now as I did the same thing this morning! Please tell her I'm sorry because she stated there wasn't much damage done to the rear end last night! :wideeyed:

Forest City A&W shuts down every Nov-mid Feb. Armstrong Dairy Queen April-Oct (is more of a shack than a building).

Most A&W's closed during the winter. Especially the more traditional drive in ones. We owned the one that was in Lake View when I was young and we would close in October and re-open in late April I think.

I See we are now in a winter weather advisory for tomorrow. Sounds like a repeat of yesterday. Up to 2 inches with 50mph gusts. Should be better with not as many cars out
