Greetings, gang.
Cloudy, foggy, and 34 degrees in the remote reaches of northern Iowa this morning. Blizzard warning goes into effect in a half hour. 6-10 inches of snow, falling temperatures, and 35-50 mph winds. Gonna be a good day for sitting and watching out the window. The big problem is the warm temperatures. If it were 10 degrees colder out there wouldn't be much of a problem but it could be a wet heavy snow, bringing down trees and power lines.
Yesterday afternoon I took a shovel and cleaned out around the storm drain. I had a mini Lake Michigan forming at the end of the sidewalk and didn't want it to freeze like that. About 15 minutes of work and the lake is gone. Biggest project scheduled for today is bringing the trash can back from the curb.
All stay safe.
Tom
