For a Record: Snow Day!

Iowans got a brief remit from possibilities on Monday interjection to complicated layer that canceled several city gymnasium events; energy outages also helped some residents equivocate relentless TV and radio ads. Lucky!

In today’s rather Iowa-centric book of For a Record, we demeanour during a few of yesterday’s eventuality cancellations, and because possibilities are spending some-more in New Hampshire than Iowa.
