First Snow

Like most people, when it comes to the weather forecast I'm quite skeptical. I never believe it's going to happen until it actually happens. Needless to say I was surprised to wake up to these views. As of 9am we probably have 5 inches of the wet and fluffy stuff already on the ground and it's still coming down! This might require more help at work tonight or people may make the wise decision to stay inside. Either way I'll find out at 5pm when I call in to see if my shift is needed or not.
The weather doesn't great for Evanston, IL either for the match up between the Hawkeyes and the Wildcats. I'm hoping it's not that close of a game. We need to into next week strong against the Buckeyes. As ESPN.com points out, Northwestern has beaten Iowa in four of the last five meetings. Last years loss didn't keep the Hawks out of the Orange Bowl, but this year it could keep them from a conference title and significantly hurt their BCS ranking.
