Daughter is supposed to have a jazz contest in Fort Dodge tomorrow. As of now it is still on because the judges have made it into town already. I am hoping the school errs on the side of caution and doesn't send our kids (from near Ames). Also have semester tests tomorrow.

Light a fire, get a good single malt and a blanket and park on the couch. Works for me.
Close. If done correctly won't need the blanket.
The ice cream in the malt usually makes me chilly though.
Webster City Schools closed tomorrow, assumming FTD will follow if they havent already...
Move that another 25 miles east so I can go snowmobiling, all my snow melted this week...
Good to know. The contest is being put on by ICCC, so not sure how often they cancel. But hoping our administration is smart enough not to send them in the first place.
True. If I forgo the book and pop in a movie, he'll probably join me and I won't need a blanket.
Or tell the school, for your child's safety, they will not be attending the jazz contest.
There likely won't be any areas with accumulating ice/freezing rain...it's just that temps are going to drop so fast you'll get a flash freeze on the roads.
Equivalent of maybe a couple hundredths of an inch max, enough to make it very slick on roads or sidewalks, but not really the kind that's going to be sticking to power lines/trees and causing problems that way.
Frozen puddles/very thin surface ice.
Sounds like a garden variety Grenade Cyclone is on the way. No worries, couple quarts of milk and a package of hot dog buns should suffice.

Thank god I’m within walking distance of a hyvee and a Fareway. This could be worse than the Winter Weather Advisory of ‘09 that we all remember so well.
I lost 3 oxen and 65 pounds of food in that one.
