we're going to drive to Cedar Rapids
to buy some beds for the hotel.

Buy one for me.
I've been up since 2am out in this blizzard. It's solid IFR, right down to
the ground. Solid white-out with 20-30mph winds, snow, sleet, freezing
rain, it even hailed or pelted us with ice pellets for awhile. If you're
not following a snow plow, you're not moving. Plows on pickups do not
count.
