  We may not be considered "big sky country" here in Iowa, but check out this beauty. Earlier this week one of our proud DOTers, Jamey Welter, caught a great shot early in the morning. Our Mason City garage is lookin' fresh and clean out there. https://t.co/Nc8ni7onR4

  We’ve all lived this: you’re cruising along and up ahead you spot a stalled vehicle on the shoulder. You have precious seconds to assess the situation and take action. What do you do? You should slow down or move over as soon as safely possible. https://t.co/6lz4kpYT6L https://t.co/KvfiWhdLNY

  IT’S A BIG DAY! The EB to NB flyover bridge at the I-35/80/235 Northeast Mixmaster opened earlier. There’s more work to be done at this site, but kudos to the planning and construction teams on completing this feature providing Iowans and visitors safer travel for decades. https://t.co/95AGOqDpJK

  Is your winter ride ready Freddy? We got a taste of winter this week, but our vehicles may still not be ready for the season. Breakdowns are frustrating even on good days and can be downright dangerous during wintry weather. Use these tips to get your ride on its roll. #GetReady https://t.co/tnwqI8rCer

  @Woodsman602 I would have to see the location to give an accurate answer. But I am guessing the black lines are covering a previous line that was used during construction for shifting traffic to partially use the shoulder other offsetting the lanes while driving through the work one.

  6:25 a.m. - Some roads in northwest Iowa are partially covered as we start the morning. Slow down on your commute. Check https://t.co/gt4AdbKOoW throughout the day to know the conditions of your route, and check plow locations and cameras. #WinterDrivingSkills https://t.co/OEzK3JbF6n

  Our #NWS friends say Wednesday's forecast is a mixed bag of cold temps+wind+snow showers. While precip is mostly expected in northern Iowa, it could reach central Iowa. Accumulations on grassy areas, but slick spots could develop on roads after sunset. https://t.co/gt4AdbKOoW https://t.co/hPwNqHknK7
