From a crop farming perspective, "plant in the dust, bins will bust!" Last March and April were pretty bone dry in Chickasaw County (NE Iowa.) All doom and gloom among the farming community. Big surprise rains in June, July, and especially August (12") led to record bin-busting yields. Hard to say how this year will go.

Winter is returning to Iowa as well.

#1. January 3-5, 1975. Northwest Iowa. I lived in Alton, Iowa at the time. The snowstorm started during the wee hours on Friday, January 3rd, and didn't end until late Sunday afternoon, the 5th. By the time it was over, 22" of snow, with 50-60 mile an hour winds. Truly, a blizzard. Northwest Iowa was literally buried in snow. Plows couldn't get through the drifts. School buses, with kids, stranded out on the farms. Nothing moved for days. You could stand on top of the snow and look into 2nd story windows. I've not experienced anything remotely close since.

Only 6 tenths overnight, which is good.

Over 6" during that time period for me. We need a break, with some good old sunshine.
