Bad Weather for Lent

This Ash Wednesday comes with severe weather conditions. Iowa is going to face some snow storms and windy conditions. The temperature has dropped quite a bit also. It's sad that this significant day for us Catholics faces these severe conditions. This weather could create some difficulties when meeting with some family members or going to Church for mass and getting the ash.

 

But definitely the worst part of this severe weather condition is going to be suffered by the Mardi Gras celebrations. Severe thunderstorms and tornadoes hit near New Orleans overnight, putting a damper on Mardi Gras just in time for the solemnity of Lent. There are more than 10,000 power outages in New Orleans.

Other states are being affected by the weather too, like Mississippi, Alabama and Florida.

Farther north, the Midwest can expect more rain and snow, adding to between six and 12 inches of snow around the Great Lakes.

Hope this weather changes soon....
