See graphics. The Winter Weather conditions did cause some problems for drivers. Tricky travel on sioux city roads today. Slow down. Always expect the unexpected. Take care when youre passing or approaching your snow plows. Dont overestimate their speed. You might be coming up on them pretty quick. Not only watching what theyre doing, but watch all around you, said iowa state trooper, john farley.

Sioux City Residents took to the cold today to dig out their cars, sidewalks, parking lots and driveways. Some had to use more than a shovel to push around all the snow.

Our recommendation for Garland mayor
Incumbent Scott LeMay faces Roel Garcia.
Two men are vying for the mayoral seat in Garland: incumbent Scott LeMay and political novice Roel Garcia. Both have deep roots in the city, but LeMay is by far the most prepared and informed candidate, with a long track record in city government. He easily gets our nod for a second term.
LeMay, a 53-year-old retail store planner at The Container Store, has participated in city policymaking since 2007, when he was appointed to the city plan commission. In 2013, he won a seat in the Garland City Council representing District 7. LeMay served his district during a particularly contentious period at City Hall that was marked by disagreements between then-Mayor Douglas Athas and a majority of the council. Voters rewarded LeMay’s experience with the mayoral office in 2019.
