Good morning, Ankeny.

Ankeny residents will vote next Tuesday on a $130 million bond to fund school improvements for academic, extracurricular, and sports facilities.

If approved, the bond will finance an $80 million Innovation Hub near Northview Middle School and additions at both high schools — all without immediately raising property taxes.

Records show that measurable snow in central Iowa can begin as early as mid-October and as late as December, with Des Moines averaging its first measurable snowfall on November 14 — studies suggest early snow may indicate a snowier winter.

Showers spread into Iowa early Tuesday and continued into Wednesday—latest data shows Ankeny received 0.89 inches while nearby areas recorded up to 1.27 inches.
