Is this heaven? No, it's Iowa

Just got up and took a walk outside to grab a cup of coffee.

There are snowflakes in the air and it's bitter, bitter bold. So cold that I saw a guy milking a cow and instead of milk, it came out as ice cream (got it from a joke website).

Also pretty windy here on the plains, I'd guess around 15 mph or so.

According to weather.com, the gametime forecast is 38 degrees with a 30 percent chance of snow and up to 25 mph winds. But I'd bet the ole' thermometer would be lucky to up to 38.

It's not the most conducive weather, but it's football, and this is what the Big Ten is all about. We'll see how it affects the spread HD offense, but if I were a betting man, I'd wager on a lot of running and low scoring.

I'm gonna go hop in the shower and try to wake up, I'll check back with yall from the stadium.
