Digging conditions in Wapello County
Ottumwa sits in a continental climate with cold winters, which sets the seasonal window for excavation here.

Iowa winters bring frost to roughly 48" of depth around Ottumwa, so cold-weather digs here often favor air excavation or heated-water hydrovac to work frozen ground.
