If you get some time off of work, but don't have the ability and/or the desire to travel a long distance, it's good to know that one of the best 'staycations' in America is right here in our part of Iowa.
You may be aware of this, but it was news to me that there's a nearly 100-year-old tower near Winterset, Iowa. I think a road trip to go castle exploring is in order.
Now, this summer they've decided to explore Iowa...all 939 towns of it. It initially started as a bit of a joke with some of the people they met last year. Then when spring rolled around they started to seriously consider it.
The National Weather Service in Des Moines says that heavy, wet snow will continue across northern and eastern Iowa through the day. The snow could be mixed with rain/freezing rain this morning making for a tricky morning commute.
Snow rates of over an inch per hour are expected this morning...
