Fixed it for you. At least that’s how the conversation would go with my dog.

The conversation surrounding what the athletic department should have done after they cancelled the ISU vs South Dakota St. football back in 2018 was ******* ridiculous.

As a former air traffic controller, that’s not it. Air traffic is handled first-come first-served, you don’t get priority if you’re an air carrier compared to a charter.
That said, who knows why they keep pushing back departure … mechanical issues, problems with getting fueled, issues with the flight plan or the crew, could be anything.
It's going to take a plane crashing in bad weather or something getting killed in a stadium by a lightning strike for people to realize how insignificant this all is.
Having said that, I do chuckle a bit at the idea most seem to have that it's simply impossible to make contingency plans because these events are just so logistically challenging. It's severe weather, not some black swan nobody can see coming. It comes up a handful of times every year.
Stop complaining about the weather and go spend your fellow users money!

Just watched the Lady Cyclones beat Baylor. They talked about a 6:00 pm game time this afternoon.
On this day in 1979 ended a couple day storm with totals anywhere from 16 up to 25 inches at Williamsburg. Winds were 30-40 mph and temps ranged from 20 to 30 below at night. They talked 80 below or better wind chill.....but that was the old way to compute. Probably much like we are experiencing now.
Slightly off-topic, but I was thinking about ordering food. Because I don’t wanna go out in this weather. Am I in a hole for doing that? Is that service even available With this weather?
what’s the etiquette for food delivery in the middle of a blizzard?

Give a very big tip to the person.
Fine as long as you tip very well. If you're not willing to go out you should make sure the people who are willing to do the service are well compensated for their extra effort.
Yes, but if you tip extremely well it could help make up for it. My thought is always that if it's bad enough I don't wanna go out I shouldn't expect other people for my convenience.
Just got done blowing snow. Entire side of the machine was covered in oil when finished. Valve cover breather tubenwas completely iced shut (my fault for not checking). Here's to hoping I don't cause any catastrophic damage.
On another note, I've never seen drifts this big in town. I had two that were a good 4 feet.

I've known some some delivery drivers who love this kind of weather because they get a lot of orders and good tips from people who don't want to go out.
Definitely a time to tip very well if you're going to order though. Gotta make it worth it.
Not sure the road. As you go through town to the north, instead of curving left, go forward. 3rd road to the right I believe.
No haha like where is the road in the pic? Obviously left of the sign but holy cow it looks like it's 4 foot of snow everywhere.
