Amber Mcguire+FollowTravel nightmare: I-35 shut down between Clear Lake & AmesWhiteout conditions have completely shut down I-35 from Clear Lake to Ames—no one’s getting through until the weather lets up. Strong winds and blowing snow have made the highway impassable, with visibility near zero. If you’re thinking about hitting the road, it’s just not safe right now. This kind of closure doesn’t happen often, and it’s a huge disruption for anyone needing to travel in north-central Iowa. How is everyone handling the sudden halt? Anyone stuck or changing plans? Stay safe and check in if you’re nearby! #Transportation #IowaWeather #I3500Share
Amber Mcguire+FollowSnowstorm brings whiteouts to Iowa & IllinoisUp to a foot of snow is piling up fast along I-80, I-74, and US-61, making travel nearly impossible in eastern Iowa and western Illinois. Saturday night is expected to be the worst, with snow falling at over an inch per hour and winds gusting to 30 mph—think zero visibility and roads that plows can’t keep up with. If you’re thinking about hitting the road, it’s probably best to wait until Sunday morning. For those who have to travel, pack an emergency kit and check 511 for updates. Anyone else already prepping for a snowed-in weekend? #Transportation #IowaWeather #IllinoisSnow00Share
