More snow pics, just cuz

I took these pics later the same day (Tuesday) that I took the other pics I posted. These are from the highways and byways of northeast Iowa.

Traveling south. You can see that the road is still covered with ice and snow (the ice and snow storm was on Sunday). You can see that the snow is piled pretty high alongside the road!


Same road, different side.


Traveling east on a different highway. About every mile or half mile, I came across areas where only one lane was open. I missed a chance at taking a photo of a clean up crew that was going from one area to the next, removing the snow from the north lane.


Heading north again on a different highway; Snow drifts still covering certain sections of the road.


This is probably the biggest pile of snow I've ever come across after snow removal on the highways! It's at least twice as high as the minivan I was driving. This is not snow on a hillside! This is a normally FLAT shoulder. :)

  1. Great pics man.

    suggest you box the stuff, let it melt and take it California...I hear they always need more water!

  3. Awesome Pictures!

    I wish I was there! LOL. Although its nice and warm here in Colorado and not any snow in sight! I don't know what it is, but I have something for 'big' snow storms!

    Have fun in that!

    In Freedom, Nicole!

  4. Alvin... someone on the west coast commented on my blog that she's staying put where she's at... so maybe that's a great idea!

    Daelon... I imagine there'd be quite a "culture shock" if someone from SC were driving down our Iowa roads. :)

    Nicole... It's nice to look at and play in... and as I said the other day, I kind of like the challenge of driving in it. But I don't hear many people like you saying they wish they were here or that they really like big snowstorms. You're quite adventurous. :)

  5. Beautiful pictures, Joel. They bring back fond memories of winters in N. J. although I'm glad that, at this point, they are only memories rather than a present reality.

    It was cold and rainy here today in S. C. but I'll be merciful and not divulge the temperature.
