Update from Nebraska. That wind is very cold now.

30 degree forecasted drop tomorrow from today.

As a matter of fact my windows are open and there's a bit more of a chill just now.

Am I just supposed to lay in bed staring at the ceiling? I might was well be productive. Do paperwork then or catch up on stuff I planned to read.

I think its worth noting that chronic sleep deprivation like that is correlated with a whole list of different health issues (particularly cardiovascular) beyond just being tired. Its not 100% guaranteed to happen obviously, but something to keep an eye on.

My daughter is coming home from college at U of South Carolina and is due to land at DSM from Atlanta at 10:30. I’m nervous. Plane due to take off in 15 minutes and as of now they plan to fly. Unfortunately I’m in NY for work and don’t have a feel for what’s going on there other than this thread. Appreciate the updates.

My Dad is on same flight. Surprised they are flying considering the wind gusts expected around the time they land.

Winds picked back up a little but storms are gone.

Strong winds are here now. Temp is down just 12 degrees from before “everything.” Guessing it’ll start dropping quicker. Hope trees don’t follow suit.

Most flights are delayed or cancelled. Hers appears to be one of two that hasn't been affected yet
