Thankfully you’ve made it this far through your first Iowa winter. I hope you are getting along well. Soon spring will come and it will be delightful. We here in Wyoming are spending a lot of time coping with the cold keeping water flowing. Even some of our water mains are freezing. And everyone is cheerful, polite and helpful.
If I could get out of the house, I guess I'd find out if people were "cheerful, polite and helpful." All I know is that the 2 of us in here are getting a little bi$chy. : )
I'll have to don the 'yaktrax' and get out tomorrow to teach class. blech!
