Winter is Coming: Sioux City Edition
Ah, Sioux City, where winter isn’t just a season; it’s a full-blown battle. The Iowa Department of Transportation is gearing up for some serious snow action, and if you think a shovel is your best weapon, think again! A wintry mix is on the horizon, and you’ll need more than just a flimsy garden tool to clear your path. Maybe it’s time to invest in a snow blower or at least a good pair of boots!
Brace for the Icy Onslaught
Reports are rolling in that the first major ice storm is about to crash through Sioux City, and let’s just say it’s going to be a slippery affair. Icy conditions are expected to linger through Friday, so if you were planning on a leisurely stroll, you might want to rethink that.
DOT to the Rescue
The Iowa DOT is on high alert, prepping their snow plow crews and making sure they’re ready to roll. It’s time to put those snow plows to work! You know it’s serious when the state starts calling for temporary winter help. They need bodies—so if you’re looking to earn a few bucks while battling the elements, this might be your calling!
How to Prepare for the Icy Mayhem
Alright, folks, here’s the lowdown on how to survive this winter storm:
- Stock Up: Don’t be that person caught without food and supplies. Hit the grocery store, grab some snacks, and while you’re at it, maybe a bottle of wine to keep the spirits high.
- Stay Informed: Keep an eye on local news. Siouxland Proud and KTIV are your go-to spots for updates on the weather and road conditions.
- Drive Safe: If you must venture out, consider whether you absolutely need to. And if you do, remember: slow and steady wins the race. We’re not trying to win any ice skating competitions here!
