DES MOINES, Iowa —Unseasonably warm weather means Iowans will be out in droves this weekend, many of them making use of central Iowa’s vast network of trails.
Leftover snow is melting snow and has already made a mess, creating muddy and slick spots. Des Moines parks and recreation officials said they expect that to be much better by the weekend.
“There could be some refreezing at night,” said Jen Fletcher, Des Moines Parks and Recreation marketing supervisor. “We’re not anticipating that. It’s supposed to be warm enough overnight that it won’t happen, but we’re just asking people to use their best judgment, be careful and enjoy the weather.”
