Today, in Southern Iowa we received 4" of snow. The National Weather Service just issued a Winter Storm Warning starting tomorrow with 8" - 12" of snow followed by 25 to 35 mph winds with gusts of 45 mph.

They're also predicting 8' - 12' snow drifts!

I guess I'll see y'all next spring!

The snow is still falling. Small wet snow. If the snow stays like this, it'll be hard for the system to make it drift!

To top it off, I went to start the tractor to blade the lane (1/2 mile long) and the battery was dead. Charged it up and the tractor still won't start. Murphy's law in full effect today!
