We went from highs of 70F (21F) on Wednesday, to highs of 30F (-1C) with a blizzard and at least 6" (15cm) of snow on Friday... Welcome to Iowa although honestly I should have known the snow was coming as Robins were seen the other day. Suppposedly in this corner of Iowa there's a saying - "See a robin and 3 more snows are to come." No idea if it's true, but one is down.We did get thundersnow though and tested how our house handles power outages - twelve times! Luckily it would only stay off for 30 minutes at a time. This morning there was 2" of ice on the road and no plow was seen from 5:30 am to 10am. (Luckily I texted in!). I did have to clear my windows to see out the house as the snow that came down is sticky despite it blowing to create white out conditions for those on the road. Everyone is closed within a 2 hour radius of us - over 200 mile diameter. Looks like our town is going to get hit the worse as they are saying by the time today is done our 6" will be 13".
All this means is TV as background noise and powerpoint work. Which sounds like fun, but powerpoints on a little laptop is a bit obnoxious. Although with Fixer Upper running a marathon, I'll stay in a project orinted mode!
Oh, below is a picture of the Pheasants taking shelter on our south-east tree-brush line. Our buildings including the house, provides them a windblock. We have found out we are their favorite place to hang out during blizzards and northwest driven storms. :)
