  We're hearing reports of a toll-bridge text scam today. The Iowa DOT will never text you saying you owe money for unpaid tolls. It’s probably a scam - Iowa doesn't have toll bridges. Experts say don't click on the text link. Learn more about this scam: https://t.co/thwil4lhCo https://t.co/IactUNHcB6

  @bartlettt00 The plow never clears 100% of the snow in one pass, which is why we have to do multiple runs throughout a storm and for several hours after the storm ends. We're hoping to get it cleaned up before the temps drop later tonight.

  The story for most of Iowa is a week of extremely dangerous sub zero wind chills. This morning, roads in SW Iowa are completely covered with accumulations of 1-3" near the borders. Bundle up, keep your gas tank full, phones charged, and let loved ones know your travels plans! https://t.co/m4r2avyX2a

  Road conditions are deteriorating over portions of western, central and north central Iowa as a band of moderate snow treks through the state. Snow-covered pavement is getting slick. Slow down, put distance between you and other vehicles, and keep your 👀 peeled for snowplows! https://t.co/zJb6GZOMyk

  What does it look like when you're driving behind a snow plow? Don't forget, they're moving a lot slower than you are, 10-35 mph. https://t.co/2nD5BgzoUi

  @IsaacYoung345 This is referring to people crashing into our snow plows, orange crush is a good soda, but crushing into an orange snow plow makes a big mess. We also publish a blog post with every roadside chat message (every Friday) to read more about the message. https://t.co/iGZq44TzyO
