IOWA WEATHER HISTORY

IOWA WEATHER HISTORY
Back in 1973, a severe storm brought high winds and heavy snow to Iowa. Belle Plain received 20 inches of snow, and 19 inches blanketed Dubuque, record totals for both locations for so late in the season. Snow drifts up to sixteen feet high closed highways.

I was 13 years old when this storm happened. I remember a snow drift across our driveway that was up to the bottom of the eaves of our house. That's over six feet high. That's the highest I've ever seen snow drifted, ever.

The beginning of winter already?

Yesterday the local weather forecasters were saying there is a chance of snow tonight or tomorrow. There is a freeze warning for tonight also. I like snow but I just feel like I'm not ready for snow or winter yet. I don't know if it's just because it's so sudden this year or maybe I'm just getting old, I don't know.
