Donald trump was in iowa talking jobs today. The one on one conversation with the republican president ial candidate. Plus reaction from the overflow crowd in newton. From who hd iowas High Definition leader. This is the channel 13 news at nine on fox 17 weve been blessed with a much warmer than average november. However, winter is coming, and that means snow is on its way. Good evening. Im lynn melling. Thank you for joining us. Ready or not. Love it or hate it. The first snow fall of the season is heading our way. Meteorologist Brett Mcintyre has the very latest. Iowa dot tells they are ready for the storm. And bringing in some new technology to help them keep you story. Youre looking at the calm before the storm. Iowa department of transportation plows. Ready for the first significant snow of the season. We just kinda plan for the worst and go from that. So weve got all our equipment ready to go. Weve been out and tested them all. Everythings working. Everything from making sure that the trucks are operational, plows are operational to replacing blades, making sure everything is calibrated correctly for all of our salt spreaders. That salt spreading and brining wont happen tonight, though. With relatively warm temperatures and rain on the way. Pre treating the roads would be a waste of time and resources. The downside. If the storm comes in too fast. Then theres a possibility that the snow can turn to ice and then bond to the pavement. And that could make for some dangerous driving. So the dot has added some features to improve safety. Heres something new youll notice on the plows just this year. These blue lights that are pointed backwards on the plows. Theres a certain science to them. Drivers can actually see them from much farther away, especially in bad conditions like fog or heavy snow. By allowing us to have this lighting configuration our goal is to distinguish our trucks so that the public can realize as traveling on the system. That is a snowplow truck ahead, they slow down and operate in a more slow and cautions fashion. Since 2009 there have been more than 200 accidents involving iowa dot snow plows. Most of them rear end crashes and sideswipes from motorists who dont see the plows till its too late. The dot is hoping these blue lights will reduce those numbers. The trucks also feature so called plow cams. Its just an iphone that is hooked up in the cab allowing you to see conditions on your computer before you head out on the road. The app was designed right here by iowa dot. It is managed by our own staff internally. So we were able to do that at a very low cost. So with the plows gassed up and ready to go. Now its just a waiting game till the snow arrives. Got crews lined up and everything so were ready for however long it lasts. And its always a good idea to check out the dot plow cameras before heading out on the roads. To see them, just log on to the dots website, iowadotdotgov, and search for track a plow. While the dot isnt treating roads. Des moines public works is. Crews were out today. Spreading a special salt brine liquid mixture. Director Jonathan Gano says that will help them stay ahead of the accumulation before the plows hit the roads. It also makes it easier for plows to remove the snow before it can freeze. Gano says there will be 200 employees working around the clock clearing roads once the snow flies. Gano says winters late arrival has led to one big benefit for his department. We have 17 new drivers this year and this is their first winter behind the wheel of snow plows so its given us extra time to familiarize ourselves and get ready. Gano says they have also finally aligned the snow routes with bus routes. He says thatll ensure a safer drive for cars and school buses which could decrease the snow days for des moines the Iowa High School Athletic Association decided to postpone fridays championship Football Game until monday due to the storm. The Association Says its the best choice when it comes to keeping people safe. Crews spent the afternoon notifying the teams and the staff at the uni dome. Well have much more on this story. Coming up a bit later. In sports. Due to snow and rain the university of iowa has banned parking on grass surface parking lots near the stadium on saturday. Thats not the only thing that might take extra time for hawkeye fans. The university is also ramping up its security measures for the purdue matchup. That means only clear bags will be allowed in the stadium. There will also be a more intensive screening process and Additional Police on hand. The changes fall in line with those made by other universities in light of the recent terror attacks in paris. The paris attacks came up in a conversation with donald trump today. The republican president ial candidate took part in a forum in newton today. That focused mostly on jobs and the economy. It aired live on channel 13 this afternoon.

During which he told supporters that he would be quote the greatest jobs president that god ever created.
