  Over the river and through the woods! Even if you know the way, you may not know conditions. It's easy to search a route on the Iowa 511 app or https://t.co/gt4AdbKOoW. ✅Pro Tip: Ask 511 Search: "Crash in Des Moines" "Road conditions Des Moines to Ames" "Plows in Waterloo." https://t.co/z3x3zVIigP

  Don't Lose Your People. These are the special people and times you’ll always remember. Don’t let a crash be a lasting memory. Be the best driver you can be and teach others to be their best. https://t.co/dBPBVxP9ej

  Traffic could be heavy for Santa heading down from the North Pole, so be ready to make room for his sleigh because ‘he knows if you’ve been merging…he knows who’s in your lane…he knows if you’ve been sig-nal-ing, so be good for goodness sake!’ https://t.co/jHOd1jYlgC https://t.co/06JeJdVeyZ

  As we prepare for another system Thursday that will bring light snow to parts of northern and eastern Iowa along with gusty winds over 40 mph, take a moment to refresh on approaching snow plows with caution. Remember not to pass our plows on the shoulder! Thank you! https://t.co/mJQbbSeFOM
