Greetings, gang.
8 going nowhere with 25 mph winds. Wind chill -10. Not sure how much snow so far but fortunately it's still only a winter storm. Blizzard starts at 10 AM although it sure looks like a blizzard out there now. Lots of "towing prohibited" on the DOT website and a number of roads around Des Moines are marked "travel not advised." Winds could hit 40 mph later.
I did get some groceries yesterday so I'm ready to ride out the storm. I'll be going out later to start clearing the sidewalks but no big rush as the blizzard conditions are supposed to last until tomorrow morning.
On the bright side gas was down to $2.58 yesterday although with the weather no one is going anywhere.
All stay safe.
Tom
