WHAT A DAY! EARLY THIS MORNING, FREEZING RAIN. THE PHONES STARTED RINGING AT 5:30 A.M. ALL SCHOOLS IN MAQUOKETA AREA CANCELLED. CLUB MEETINGS CANCELLED.
MANY BUSINESS PLACES DID NOT OPEN OR CLOSED EARLY. THE JACKSON COUNTY COURTHOUSE CLOSED. ALL SPORTS TONIGHT CANCELLED. THE LIBRARY CLOSED. THE NEW YMCA CLOSED. OVERNIGHT LOW OF 29....TEMP WENT UP A LITTLE OVERNIGHT. THEN HIT 31 EARLY MORNING AND THAT WAS HIGH FOR TODAY. TEMP DROPPED DOWN INTO UPPER 20'S MOST OF THE AFTERNOON. NOW..THE STORM WARNING HAS BEEN CALLED OFF EARLY. NOTHING MORE THAN LIGHT SNOW TONIGHT AND COLD. NO PRECIPITATION FOR REST OF WEEK, BUT COLD WEATHER WILL CONTINUE ALL WEEK.
SO, TOMORROW SHOULD BE A BETTER DAY.

SENATOR OBAMA WILL SPEAK IN MAQUOKETA AT THE OHNWARD FINE ARTS CENTER THURSDAY NIGHT, AT 7 P.M.
OR A LITTLE LATER.

LOTS OF TREE BRANCHES DOWN. A COUPLE SEMI'S JACK-KNIFFED TODAY NEAR MAQUOKETA, BUT NO INJURIES.
LOTS OF POWER LINES DOWN IN IOWA. WE WILL PROBABLY HAVE MORE REPORTS OF ACCIDENTS TOMORROW.

THE PHOTO YOU SEE ABOVE WAS TAKEN BY ME SHORTLY AFTER NOON TODAY, LOOKING OUT MY LIVING ROOM WINDOW.
KINDA PRETTY.....BUT NOTICE HOW BRANCHES ARE DROOPING.

YES..THE VOY THEATRE WILL BE OPEN TONIGHT....GUESS THE THEATRE AND BOWLING ALLEY BOTH WILL BE OPEN FOR THOSE WANTING TO GET OUT OF THE HOUSE.

AND WINTER STILL HAS NOT ARRIVED. THIS IS STILL FALL.
NOTHING LIKE THE 4-SEASONS.

DRIVE WITH CARE...AND BUCKLE UP.

THANKS FOR CHECKING IN.
