In the most midwesterner move ever, Sgt Congdon managed to snap a couple great photos of the storm rolling in last night when he should have been headed for cover. If you have any good shots, post them in the comments!

The ISU Greek Week Polar Plunge is in full effect. While the weather was only mildly polar, the plunging was maxed out. This event benefits Special Olympics of Iowa and raises A LOT of money every year! Very cool to see the Greek community show up and show out for a worthy cause.
