CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa — A Sudden Stratospheric Warming Event has officially occurred high above the North Pole, and it could set the stage for a major pattern change across the Midwest. The event has disrupted the polar vortex, which often opens the door for Arctic air to spill south into the Lower 48. Forecasters say the change could last from Thanksgiving week through at least the first half of December. Repeated Arctic blasts and elevated winter storm chances are expected across a wide part of the region.

WDM housing development could bring 2,200 homes

A new housing development could bring 2,200 homes to the western side of West Des Moines . Why it matters: The Trail West project will bring more housing and pricing options to the growing western suburbs. The big picture: The development would add to a growing stretch of western West Des Moines, near other major projects, including the planned Grand Experience and MidAmerican Energy RecPlex expansion, says West Des Moines economic development director Ryan Moffatt. State of play: Caliber Homes and Jerry's Homes are partnering to develop about 300 acres of farmland north of Booneville Road and west of Grand Prairie Parkway. The total project could reach around 760 acres. Zoom in: The first phase includes 130 single-family home lots. The number of phases is not yet known, and the project could take 10 to 15 years to build out. Caliber would focus on homes ranging from $800,000 to $3 million, while Jerry's Homes would offer lower-priced options. Jerry's Homes did not immediately respond to Axios' request for comment. The development could eventually include townhomes, apartments, rental condos and neighborhood-scale retail. It's an urban area with a "country aesthetic" with rolling hills and tree-lined waterways, Ryan Kauffman of Caliber Homes

Tour this $1.55M Urbandale home with a gazebo reached by bridge

Buyers hunting for a quality home that feels a step above conventional Urbandale developments have an opportunity in the Deer Creek neighborhood to purchase a stylish, upscale property, enhanced by a considerable series of top-to-bottom enhancements. “It screams character,” Realtor BJ Knapp said of the Cardinal Lane home. “I have not come across anything like this in all my years of selling real estate. It's a really unique special property.” Located on a quiet, tree-lined street and built on close to an acre of thoughtfully landscaped gardens, the home is further bordered by a shield of mature trees, protecting the four-bedroom, 3,028-square-foot house from encroachment by any future construction. The sophisticated exterior design pairs well with the large estates and mid-century modern-inspired ranch properties that occupy the nearby streets. “It's one of the more eclectic neighborhoods architecturally in the metro area,” Knapp said, noting Deer Creek’s popularity has benefited from “a great central location.” “It's kind of a hidden gem, and very few people know it just because it's such a private little setting,” he added. Originally constructed in 1987, an extensive 2022 overhaul included upgrades to the home’s roof, windows, the flow of the interior layout, herringbone flooring and

Des Moines' former giant garden trowel sculpture reappears in Russia

When People Inc. said it had sold a world-record-holding sculpture of a giant garden trowel on its Des Moines corporate campus to an "out-of-state buyer," it may have been a bit of an understatement. People Inc. declined to specify who bought the sculpture, titled "Plantoir," by renowned husband-and-wife artists Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen. "The sale was completed with an out-of-state buyer that made a significant offer for the piece. We agreed to the sale only after offering the piece to local organizations," the company said in a August 2025 statement. The statement did not identify the Iowa institutions it contacted. Now, a little more than a year after the sculpture was removed from the company's lawn in downtown Des Moines' Western Gateway, it is on display more than 5,000 miles away — in Moscow, front and center at GES-2 House of Culture. The remodeled former power plant in the shadow of the Kremlin is home to internationally sanctioned Russian oligarch's arts foundation — a site for "Plantoir" that the daughter of the late Oldenburg and van Bruggen says leaves her "positively appalled." In an October 2025 news release announcing the installation of the sculpture at its facility, GES-2
