This year is the first time ever that I've mowed and then had snow cover my freshly mown grass.
April snowfall

Worst part of not being able to go anywhere is also being stuck in the house because the weather sucks.
Today is sunny. The sun is actually warm when you're in it. It's just the 33 degree air temp...
For today, southern Iowa.
"Southern Iowa is expecting significant snow through the nighttime hours. There will be travel issues, especially south of HW 34, where heavier amounts are likely. Widespread snow should start falling across the southern two tier of counties around noon, where a Winter Storm Warning is in place.
Bursts of moderate to heavy snow are likely, as thundersnow is possible. Models are somewhat divergent on the exact track of the system, so any movement could push snowfall amounts up or down, given the tight accumulation gradient. Snow totals will tail off towards the I-80 corridor, with a tight snowfall gradient north. I’ve attached National Weather Service guidance, which summarizes the available model information. Please stay safe and keep up-to-date via local media and the NWS."

Yep. It's been coming down for a couple hours in southeast Iowa. Took the doggies out to potty and it's starting to stick. Hour long drive to work at 4 a.m. At least I won't be surprised.

The cold never even bothered me that much while I lived in the Midwest, but looking back I can’t understand why anyone would willingly subject themselves to Midwest winters. It sucks and there’s no point.
OK. Back in the day we deer hunted north of Albia every year. Deer were somewhat scarce around here, not so anymore and I quit hunting decades ago...

Ive got family in Albia. I don’t get down there as often as I liked to. Anymore it’s just been for funerals unfortunately.
Have you even heard of Nebraska? Or North Dakota for that matter. At least South Dakota has the Black Hills
In other news, I’ve got 6 or 7 inches on my deck and it’s still snowing. At least it’s not really sticking to the roads or sidewalks
Almost 5" on my deck...and yeah, the streets are clear.
I fell asleep at midnight, hadn't even began snowing then. Weren't supposed to get more then 2".
NOT FUNNY, SPRING.
That's too hot for me. I prefer temps to be between about 60 and 75. That's the sweet spot.
This is @Tenacious E's fault. He whined about hearing the chickadees with the window open in the morning and now we have a bunch of snow again.
Hour north of ya and nothing. The line was around Missouri Valley thank the lord.
ND sucks in the winter or use to anyway. SD to along I90. Weird seeing all those huge snow blocks and fences.
