For those of you Iowans (or Midwesterners) out there, how are you doing this winter?
It started easily enough. We had a milder than usual November and December. Even into the first week of January, things moved along without much trouble.
But man have we been hit hard since then! More than 2 feet of snow (cumulatively). Downed trees and power lines. Occasional freezing rain, even after all that stuff cleared out.
When you average it out, it’s probably just a normal winter overall. A milder season gave way to the big pile of ‘yuck’ we’ve had in the last 3 weeks. But it still hits pretty hard.
Let me know how you’ve handled it!
