I have yet to see one of those in your weather forecast

Standards and practices tends to frown upon it.

Yeah it does, if you know what you're doing. Lock tires, throw in N, then in R, hammer, voila shorter stopping distance.

Looks like the roads in the areas affected so far are competely ice covered.

I-35 south from the Huxley exit to I80 east by Altoona were not terrible. Top speed of 50, just keep it slow and be alert. Mostly just sloppy and the rain is freezing onto the car were the worst part. Take it easy today clones.

A friend is "stranded" on I-35 in northern Iowa. Road too slick to move so cars are stopped and backing up now.

Stranded in Iowa, somebody ought to make a song about that.

It would probably be too corny.

Just drove to church. Ames roads are sloppy but I was able to go the speed limit with no issues.

Roads were dry at 6:30, heard some sleet at 7:15, renters just scraped their vehicle off before going somewhere.

Anyone been out on 80/35 in DSM? In Ankeny and looking to head to WDM.

[fccy]

Went outside, now know why they scraped.

In cr, it's pretty icy. Dogs were slipping around on the deck.

I know someone in the same situation. He just posted a pic on facebook and cars are just sitting on 35N.

There's an accident near the Dows exit and the ice layer is pretty bad.

Salt trucks are on the way and some semis are going to attempt to make a path for traffic after the salt trucks.
