This week is the reason I decided to live in Friley and not the Towers.

Lived along I-80 Des Moines had 11 inches of snow, towards Iowa City had 20 inches. 65 MPH winds. I-80 was shut down, our town had to take stranded drivers and their passengers. We had the Brinks truck drivers. It was in April, so they were just issued their spring outfits- mistake. School closed for the entire week.
Means it hasn't been cancelled or pushed to tomorrow yet. Although at this point, I would guess they don't leave until tomorrow.
Yes and no. The cancellation/delay stuff is being cross checked with the airline to show it and has nothing to do with the FAA filed flight plan. It has essentially fallen out of the system at this point and is just hanging there, I could file a flight plan and have it show up just the same.
I am sure JSB will say I am wrong but I would highly doubt it at this point. Maybe tomorrow morning but I wouldn’t be surprised if it gets postponed either.
8.9 inches of snow in Des Moines today. 21.2 for 5 days. Second highest on record.
Our restaurant closed at 6 tonight.
Just for night not permanent.

They should have been closed much earlier!
I had to put the Carhartts back on and clear the dog path again. Snow drifts are over their shoulders.
Just watched The Day After Tomorrow. It could be much worse.
6” is over my pups’ shoulders, so I’ll be clearing snow every time out for a bit
