Bad Weather

[joecooll6]

Looks like the bad weather is again dampening our plans. I couldnt get my car out of the snow this morning. Remember when it was like 50 degrees?

We moved up our leaving time by a lot, looks like 380 is covered and wet roads after that

We've moved our time of departure up a few hours to try to avoid the storm. They are talking about closing 380 from Iowa City to Waterloo....if you are leaving later this afternoon, you may have to take an alternate route. To all those driving down today and tomorrow...good luck and DRIVE SAFE!!

If you can sneak out of town early, DO IT!!

I feel really bad for the Creighton Contingent. I just don't see how they are going to be able to get to St. Lous. There are so many interstates closed in Iowa, Nebraska, and Kansas, I just don't see how they can get there...

AHHH! This has been bugging me all day. We let students out at noon today and not sure how the weather will play out tomorrow morning. From what I can gather we are looking at just snow tomorrow. Once we get out of Iowa or at least south of Iowa City, the temp is high enough for just some wet driving. I can handle that (similar to last year). If you are leaving today...drive safe and post some road conditions if you have access.

Just talked to my parents who are on their way to St. Louis and the roads were just wet when they left at 9:00 (going down toward Iowa City, Hannibal, etc) and now they are in Missouri and the roads are dry right now. Sunny and near 60 in St. Louis today but quite windy.

I380 northbound from Iowa City to WAterloo is NOT closed yet according to the KCRG website - update from DOT says it was planning on closing it by noon but now will wait. Goal is to close it BEFORE it gets too bad and people get stranded.

The UNIVERSITY OF NORTHERN IOWA has cancelled all evening activites and classes starting at 4pm. All classes that are in session (T-th classes start at 3:30-445) must be let out at 4pm. All campus activities have been postponed.

And i just heard that Iowa asked to be delcared a distaster area to the President of the USA. Any truth to that?

[BCPanther]

The email from the administration at UNI kind of implied that class would be cancelled tomorrow as well....

This storm might be worse than the one last weekend...

I read Culver was going to ask for that for at least some of the counties becaue of last weekend's storm, and maybe more because of what transpires over the next 2 days.

Joecooll6 is getting really tired of the weather.

[unigriff]

This is quite possibly the worst storm I've ever Seen. I know that I'm only 25 years old, but it's the worst storm I can ever remember in my life. I know that in Southeast Iowa the conditions are MUCH Better, just wet and rainy, as far as I know they are not getting much/any snow. I could be wrong though.

Whatever everyone decides to do, just be safe and smart. NO sporting event is worth risking your life, Especially when you can watch it at home. I know it's not the same, but still.

Here are a couple of links for road conditions too by the way. Just thought I'd help those of you traveling to St. Louis.

Hopefully these links work, here they are:
