Thought you might like some news from Iowa on the weather. Well I was hoping to hunt during my break but the weather has other plans for me. Here is the start of the storm.

the snow is lovely, and the kids are having a blast!
the wind not so much...took out a bunch of folks power today
and still blowing...but the sun peaked out and cleared the roads this afternoon.
unfortunately with all the wind the snow was too "dry" for snowball making...
be safe out there folks
happy holidays!!!

We got a taste of it as it headed your direction. I didn't get snowed in but got drifted in. The winds were terrible but it was clear and cold today and for the next few days it looks to be the same. Just enough and perfect timing for Christmas. Heard you guys in the Great Lakes area were getting blasted today.

I am with you Pappy hope everyone is safe.
The thought of field dressing in this weather is not my idea of fun. Getting the deer quarter in this wind hmmmm maybe if I was 35 and younger.
I really do like it when the woods has a blanket of snow on it.
