If it snows

January in Des Moines can mean snow. The celebration is indoors — leave a little extra time on the roads. If plans change, this page will be updated.

Driving in January

If you’re renting a car, spring for all-wheel drive and let the counter talk you into the ice scraper. Interstates and main roads are plowed early and often; neighborhood streets take a little longer. Give every drive an extra twenty minutes, keep the tank above half, and if you’d rather not drive at all, rideshares run reliably all winter.

What to wear

Formal attire, with a winter asterisk: January is cold — bring a warm coat and consider shoes with some grip. Beyond that, dress for the celebration, not the forecast.
