Dear Auntie Weather and council notes from winter week
In a weekly update from an Iowa town, residents report 10 below and 8 above on different mornings, sunny skies, and plans for ice skating. The old and new town councils met in one day, with Harold Stephens and Paul Gebhardt replacing two officials. They voted to buy Cargill Carguard for ice melt, not salt. The Jaycees removed discarded Christmas trees, stores will close on Saturday nights in January and February, and band concerts move to Wednesdays. A regional welfare group struggles to form with Iowa City, while county planning restarts with nearby counties. The town clock freezes, and a road contract of 138000 dollars paves five miles between Dublin and Talleyrand. The era moves from dirt roads to asphalt or cement as winter ends. P.S. thermometer now four below zero.
