Living in Iowa normally leads to a pretty consistent lifestyle. Most things are fairly predictable and easy going here in the Hawkeye state, all except for one thing...the weather!! Us Iowans are forced to go through a lot when dealing with the weather. From hot and humid ninety degree days in July, to cold and bitter twenty below degree days in January. We get it all here; sun, rain, clouds, snow, ice, cold, hot, storms, tornados, sleet, wind, alright you get the picture. I have come up with a month by month guide describing the typical Iowa weather for that month and the fun things you can do to take advantage of it.
--January: Snow, cold, more snow and more cold. That pretty much sums up an Iowa January. This most likely will be the month with the occasional snow day or as we frequently get, ice days. I recommend sledding and hot chocolate!
--February: This is the time of year when everyone is getting terribly sick of winter. Its still super cold outside and still seems forever away until those nice spring days! Being creative is the key to a happy February, make Valentine's Day plans, host movie nights, or go shopping. Staying positive is what February is all about.
--March: It is a waste of time to predict or to try and recall the typical weather in March. Most likely there will be days ranging from thirty degrees to seventy degrees. Take advantage of the warmth! Go for a walk or jog, shoot some hoops, or simply just hang out outside!
--April: Many times April could have worse weather than March; nothing is more disappointing than that. This is the time of year for all of us in school that we just want summer to arrive. Do your best at coming up with ideas to relieve that summer fever. Make smoothies, play tennis, or do some gardening!
--May: I would consider this to be one of my favorite months. Hopefully temperatures can average between sixty and eighty which is just perfect! School is almost out, its sunny and there is just no stopping the beautiful weather. There are hundreds of things you can do during the month of May; going for bike rides, fishing, going on picnics, you name it!
