You know what Iowa needs? Some bitterly cold weather.......Oh yeah go outside, it is -30 degrees out!
What were the early Iowa settlers thinking when they decided to just stop going west and stay in Iowa. It couldn't of been during the winter. Can you image that? It is -30 degrees out, they didn't have coats or clothes like we have today. Can you really see someone saying " Well, I can't feel my hands, my nose hairs are freezing, little Billy's face is turning blue, let's start a new life here."
