Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin Winters Might Be Warmer Than Normal



IOWA, MINNESOTA, WISCONSIN WINTERS MIGHT BE WARMER THAN NORMAL

Iowans can rejoice! It turns out that winter won't be so bad in Iowa after all!
One of the biggest factors impacting Iowa's upcoming and coming winter weather
is El Nino, according to Iowa Weather. El Nino is back for the first time in 4
years and will heavily impact weather patterns for the continental U.S.

El Nino is considered a climate phenomenon in which the equatorial Pacific Ocean
warms. This phenomenon can heavily impact global weather patterns. We
midwesterners might be able to keep the Crocs by the door and throw them on when
we're outside grilling in the middle of January. It could be icy, you might want
to stay safe and be sure they're in sports mode...

WARMER THAN NORMAL

Would you rather have a snowy winter with temperatures on the warmer side or do
you absolutely hate the snow and the temperature doesn't bother you as much? I
will always lean on the side of winter with a few more snowflakes, rather than
temps and wind chill below zero. If Iowa Weather is correct, Iowa and much of
the other midwestern states should experience a "warmer-than-normal" winter in
2023-2024.

My biggest question is what are the odds of our winter being warmer than normal?


Iowa Weather


It appears Iowa is leaning toward having a 33-40% chance of having a
warmer-than-normal winter from December to January. I'll take those odds! In the
map above it looks like a large portion of the Midwest could possibly experience
a warmer winter as well.

Iowa Weather claims

> This means that Iowans can expect milder winter days and perhaps a reduction
> in the severity of cold snaps. While winter will still be chilly, the overall
> trend is towards a more temperate season. However, it’s important to keep in
> mind that climate patterns can be unpredictable, and there’s a degree of
> variability in the forecasts

Yes, we still will have to eventually get our winter jackets on but the more we
can avoid the freezing cold temperatures and bitter windchill, I'm all for it.


UNIQUE SLEDS IOWANS HAVE USED

How many of these unique sleds have you tried using?

CAR HOOD

Have you ever used an old car hood to sled? I bet this gets cold on your behind
when sitting down!

Blank Skateboard

BLANK SKATEBOARD

You'll have to take the wheels and the trucks off first...otherwise this might
be a slow ride.

Shower Curtain

SHOWER CURTAIN

I would definitely ask your mom before taking her shower curtain for a ride down
a hill


Boogie Board

BOOGIE BOARD

You're going to see a common theme from things Iowans have used to sled. A lot
of these summer items become multi-seasonal

Yoga Mat

YOGA MAT

Would you have to freeze or wax a yoga mat first, in order to sled with it? Give
this one a try this winter and get back to me.

Kayak

Unsplash - Benjamin Davies


KAYAK

Kayaks are usually associated with warmer weather. Someone goes viral every
winter for sledding with one of these.


Kiddie Pool

Unsplash - Steve Smith


KIDDIE POOL

You can throw a ton of kids in one of these. Who needs a bunch of sleds when you
can use 1 kiddie pool!

Laundry Basket

Unsplash - Annie Spratt


LAUNDRY BASKET

With the right type of snow you would be able to absolutely fly down a hill in
one of these. Who wants to race?

Skis

SKIS

One Iowan said they didn't have sleds growing up so they ended up tying dad's
skis together. Work smarter not harder.


Shovel

SHOVEL

Here's a sled with a built in handle to steer with. Another item that would be
chilly to sit on.

Golf Cart Roof

GOLF CART ROOF

This was one of my favorite entrees. Simon built this sled out of a golf cart
roof. This would definitely turn some heads at your favorite sledding hill.

Satellite Dish

SATELLITE DISH

That'd be one expensive sled!


Wringer Washer Lid

WRINGER WASHER LID

You must really want to go sledding if you need a wringer washing machine lid.

Tractor Tire

TRACTOR TIRE

While driving a tractor down a sledding hill might be pretty sweet, one Iowan
said they used a tractor tire and multiple kids would sit inside of it.

Cafeteria Tray

CAFETERIA TRAY

There were so many college students in Iowa who admitted to using cafeteria
trays. Always remember to be nice to your lunch ladies.


Cardboard

CARDBOARD

Don't throw away all of the boxes you collect over the winter. Bigger ones will
make perfectly good sleds.

Cooking Sheet

COOKING SHEET

Does the food come with the cooking sheet? Enjoying a good meal while sledding
needs to be a thing this winter.

Air Mattress

AIR MATTRESS

Has sledding ever been relaxing? This would be the most comfortable ride for
sure.


Tarp

TARP

If you use a tarp, I just hope you never hit a rock or a thick chunk of ice.
That would be terrible on your tailbone.

Garbage Can Lid

GARBAGE CAN LID

Garbage can lids were the original plastic saucer you see kids with these days.
Talk about a trip down memory lane.
