Happy Groundhog Day to All: No Shipping this Wednesday, February 2, 2011

The recent blizzard conditions and 12"+ of snow has grounded production today at Tucker Manufacturing Co., Inc. of Cedar Rapids, Iowa today. Most of our staff opted to make today a "snow day" since roads were not easy going this morning.

From our neighbor in Downtown Cedar Rapids, SourceMedia:

Area roadways still challenging
Main streets in Cedar Rapids should be open in the next couple of hours. Crews are working on residential streets. Highway 218 south of Iowa City is closed.
