Living here, it'll be interesting to see how the weather impacts turn out. In southern Iowa, we've received 20 inches of snow this week and the wind blew 50 mph last night making almost every road impassable this morning. It'll take a few days to dig out of this. Actual temperatures are suppose to be 20 below with windchills 40 to 50 below. Monday nights actual low is forecast to be 15 below and breezy. Guessing whoever has the most enthusiastic supporters has a better chance at winning this thing
Yeah it's a mess. Our county pulled plows off the roads at 1pm yesterday. This morning they could only run until 10am before getting pulled off again. Abandoned vehicles in the 4+ ft tall snow drifts isn't helping one bit. I don't think I could make it to town before Tuesday at this point.
Where I am it's generally the nearest rural school building or senior center. Changing locations will do nothing to get us rural folks into town when roads are blown shut with snow.
Looking at the forecast, wind gusts will be under 30mph tomorrow so primary roads will finally get cleared but be tough driving for another day or two. Gravel roads might get a single lane plowed through tomorrow with v-plows on the maintainer if they can get the primary roads open.
