Many looking for an escape.

“We are supposed to be flying to Florida on Saturday if all goes well with the weather,” Deb Groebner said .

The incoming weather conditions have some holiday shoppers making last minute changes.

“I would rather drive in the snow then on Thursday when it is going to be blizzard conditions,” Meyer said.

For some they have family traveling to them.

“Yeah I have my daughter coming from Ankeny so hopefully they get there,” Larry Eichenberger said.

“Safe travels for everyone who is going to travel because it is not going to be very nice the next couple of days,” Meyer said.
