Iowa in January

What is Iowa like in January? Well unless you absolutely LOVE to take about a billion phone calls about who you would vote for in the Caucuses, there’s not much else going on. So what do we talk about? Well we talk about the weather of course. So this post is about the weather and how I’m so looking forward to spring. My first picture to describe the weather is one that I took the other day when I got to work. Now mind you that this is the air temperature not the wind chill temperature. That’s why the top picture under the time is also so important. It’s your butt warmer and plays a very important job when it’s this cold out 🙂When it’s that cold and your nose sticks together when your’e outside trying to breath – well it’s just too darn cold for anyone! It’s also not a very good look for any girl.

My next picture also gives an idea on what January looks like in Iowa. You look across the fields and see what almost looks like an ocean of snow. Our farm is the one in the middle of the picture with the trees around it. Because we’ve gotten a couple of inches of new snow these past few days I kinda was expecting some snowmobilers in the area taking advantage of it but we haven’t heard too many yet.

And my last picture is one that is pretty common in January on our farm. It’s that of Daryl pushing away the new snow drifts from the garage and trying to break up the ice path that was once called our driveway. So this week I think I’ll make it my mission to see if I can take some nice pictures of January in Iowa. I wonder how well I’ll do?
