Want a white Christmas in 2026? Check the prediction for Iowa.

When Halloween is over, it's time to get ready for Christmas. Sorry Thanksgiving! We need to answer the age-old question: Are we going to have a white Christmas in 2026? Historically in Des Moines, the odds are slightly worse than a coin flip since daily snow depth totals were first recorded in 1939. Here's what the prediction from the Old Farmer's Almanac says. What counts as a white Christmas? The National Weather Service classifies a “white Christmas” as one in which at least one inch of snow is on the ground on Christmas Day. It doesn’t matter whether there’s snow in the air — it’s the blanket of white that counts.

New boundaries could send Des Moines students to farther schools

Des Moines Public Schools is moving toward a November vote on new attendance boundaries that will reshape how students advance through the district. The boundaries are part of the district's $265 million Reimagining Education plan. Once set, the new plan will replace DMPS' current feeder patterns with Northeast, Northwest and South regions , divided by the Des Moines and Raccoon rivers. They will establish new student pathways from elementary and middle schools to East, Lincoln and Roosevelt high schools, convert some buildings to signature schools and allow more elementary schools to add sixth grade. The proposal redraws current attendance boundaries , which determine which schools students attend based on their home addresses. The new boundaries would organize schools into three regions, with students ultimately assigned to East High School in the Northeast, Lincoln High School in the South or Roosevelt High School in the Northwest. North and Hoover would no longer operate as traditional neighborhood high schools. Instead, they would become two of the district's nine opt-in signature schools, which will offer specialized programs in STEM, the arts, Montessori or dual language that families could apply to attend. North will focus on STEM programs, while Hoover wil will offer hands-on

Keokuk reader endorses democrats on Tuesday

As a former city council member, I know firsthand how difficult it is to maintain a budget in rural Iowa, especially with a declining population and a state government that continues to take away backfill funding and home rule rights. Meanwhile, state leaders boast about slashing taxes while staying quiet about what that means for rural Iowans: cuts to the services our communities depend on.
