We're experiencing a blizzard 1:00PM central time here in Iowa. Most roads are closed or are being closed here.

I had the snowblower out this morning and we cleared all the sidewalks and driveways from our's and two other neighbors properties. Recent snow and 50 mph winds have dumped more snow and covered our beautiful cleaning job.

Power went off for three hours but is now back on. I thought I was going to have plug in Generator. I hope power stays on for awhile.

Been a cold, windy day down here today. Winds 50 to 60 mph, had a tree to fall across a road east of me. I hope the sun comes out tomorrow. I have a tower to finish taking apart after taking it down last weekend.

Our portion blew through here yesterday evening. Yesterday was 77 degrees, then blew through at 60MPH with a little rain in less than an hour then the temp dropped severely. Today was maybe 50. Tonight a 'hard freeze', around here that means in 29.. Tomorrow 64. The wind last evening knocked out some power, some of it is still out but won't be for long.

Let us have pics if you get the blizzard. Would be interesting to see some snow.
