Default How we welcome Springtime in Iowa

Well we dodged the major part of the storm, but this is what I woke up to this morning. Friday was rather warm and today, well see for yourself.

hey Doc, I am in northern Iowa and we only got enough to lightly dust the ground. You are welcome to all of it. Hard to believe that Friday I was out in shorts. you just gotta love Iowa.

As much as I complain about our NE Ohio weather, you guys (and the entire upper Midwest) have been wronged! Badly!

Hope spring finally arrives really soon for y'all.

Yep, you just got what we have had. We have 5 foot+ snow drifts in places, with 8-10 inches of snow that fell just in the city. Some other areas nearby got well over a foot of snow. And the best part was it rained for about 2 hours before it snowed so the roads are super slick.

Yeah I know. We did dodge most of it though as they were calling for 14 inches.

Yeah that was us too. Rain before the snow, just to make sure cars cannot stop once they get going.

You welcome spring by putting cotton all over your yard? How weird!
