  @big77t Recreational trails and road/bridge projects generally do not compete for the same source of funds. Most trail projects in Iowa are funded through dedicated state/federal funds with specific eligibility requirements prohibiting those funds from being used on road/bridge projects.

  And just like that...3 more DOT snowplow hits yesterday! Crash #1 a motorist passed the plow on the left shoulder and collided with the wing blade. Crashes #2 and #3 were rear-enders. 👇 * NEVER PASS ON THE SHOULDER-SIDE OF A PLOW * WATCH FOR WING BLADES * DON'T CROWD THE PLOW https://t.co/aQc9PGOPXc

  The Marshalltown DMV will be opening at 10 am this morning. The bitter cold has delayed the opening of Iowa Valley Community College where the Marshalltown DMV is still temporarily located. Thank you for your patience. https://t.co/rBA4Z18Xnp

  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
