This past week, Seth and I had the honor of representing the state of Alabama in the ASA's Young Leader Program. We met so many fabulous people and gained great deals of information about ourselves and farming. The program took place in Johnston, Iowa (right outside of Des Moines). At first I was disappointed because the weather had predicted no snow. This forcast changed, however, at some point along the way. While we were there, we encountered a blizzard. Snow fell by the foot ( over 14 inches in some areas). The temperature was cold and the wind chill was absolutely bone chilling.
Seth & I couldn't believe how much fast it was falling... One person said that an inch per hour was falling.
The airport was all but shut down. Nearly every flight was cancelled... but not ours!
It was a very uneasy feeling to feel the plane slide about on the runway from all of the snow under the tires.
