15 Thoughts Everyone In Iowa Has When Winter Is Coming

There has already been snow in parts of northern Iowa, and while we hate to say it - winter is on its way, whether we want it or not! And with that changing of the seasons and dropping of the temperatures, there are certain thoughts that go through most Iowans minds; here are some common ones:

1. It better not start snowing until after Thanksgiving.

2. Now we get to look forward to it being dark ALL the time.

3. And cold. But then there's the windchill... Oh, lord.

4. And now we have to wait for our cars to warm up every morning...

5. And we get to experience the joy of scraping a frozen windshield every day.

6. Maybe this year is the year we should invest in a snowblower?

7. And we better get the winter coats out soon...

8. And the fuzzy socks!

9. And you can't forget the fuzzy blankets!

10. But hey, we can go sledding now!

11. And then go home and warm up with some delicious hot cocoa.

12. And winter means we get to plug in the Scentsy and put in our favorite seasonal scents!

13. Another good thing about winter is that we're one step closer to Christmas, right?

14. But winters in Iowa are so cold... A nice vacation somewhere warm would be nice...

15. But even if we could go somewhere warm, there's no place like home for the holidays - especially when you live in a wonderful state like Iowa.
