Winter Weather

Here in Iowa, winter is a dreaded season fir most of us. The snow comes too early and lasts too long. There are many car accidents every day when the weather is bad, which is quite often. At least once a week here in Iowa, in the winter, we get a bad storm, an about every other week we have delays and cancellations throughout the cities.
So why do people come to live in Iowa?
Well that’s a good question. I think that Christmas is not Christmas without snow on the ground. I was once in Florida for the holidays and it was not the same. But this might also be because I grew up with the snow every winter.
Despite the face freezing days, sometimes the snow is quite pleasant. When you are bundled up inside with hot cocoa watching out the window, it’s like living inside a snow globe.
So, just like everywhere else, there are some good things about living here, as well as some not so good things. Here are just a few
Disadvantages:
Scraping off really thick ice on your car, the morning after an ice storm
Having to leave about 10 minutes to a half hour early because of the road conditions
Not being able to enjoy the outdoors when the temperature is -20 degrees
Advantages:
Enjoying a nice white Christmas
The beauty of the light fluffy snow falling

Those are just some of the joys of living here in Iowa. After all that is just the winter, I didn’t even mention the other seasons.
So come to Iowa and see for your self.
