In the brief clip, the American Pickers star panned the camera from left to right, capturing the entire field blanketed in white snow.
The tall trees were barren and covered top to bottom from the snowfall.
The heavy winds were blowing at the flakes, causing a near whiteout.
The lyrics to the Foreigner song, Cold As Ice, played in the background.
‘IT’S BELOW ZERO’
On Saturday, the History Channel star shared a firsthand look at the blizzard pummeling his hometown state.
Iowa, like much of the middle parts of the country, dealt with a weekend blizzard and the lowest temperatures in decades.
In a short video and photo, Robbie gave his followers a taste of the bitter chill.
He filmed the snow falling and piling up on roads, which reduced visibility to nearly nothing.

The snapshot featured snow shovelers surveying the area.
“We got about 16 inches of snow on the ground here in Iowa, and it’s below zero,” the 62-year-old star captioned the post.
“I remember the good old days when my brother and I would go out and shovel walks and driveways all day long in hopes of making 100.00 dollars never worried about cold.”
The TV star added: “This just taught us that we needed to work hard for the things we wanted. Thanks Mom for giving us that. Love ya.”
He urged, “Stay safe (and) help your neighbors.”
Although Robbie helped warn his followers about the snowstorm, he has not been able to attract viewers to his show.
THE DISMAL RATINGS
Near the end of December 2023, the TV personality returned to the program with co-hosts Danielle Colby, 48, brother Mike Wolfe, 59, and co-star Jersey Jon, 60, for the Season 25 premiere.
The ratings dipped to a nearly all-time low, putting the show’s future in question.
The U.S. Sun revealed the ratings for the premiere episode, Classic Car Cemetery, which reached about 723,000 viewers.
Viewership plummeted even further during part two of the premiere, Hidden Cash Stash, which had about 676,000 people tuning in.
It was the lowest premiere rating the once-beloved show has had in some time.
The U.S. Sun also revealed about 880,000 viewers tuned in for episode three, Mike and Homer.
The season 24 premiere fared better and kicked off with better numbers, with about 943,000 fans watching on January 2023.
Viewers have had mixed reviews about the series since Mike’s original co-host, Frank Fritz, 60, was fired in 2021 and replaced by Robbie.
Critics have petitioned for Robbie to get fired and complained about him online.
Frank suffered a stroke in July 2022 and is under conservatorship and guardianship.
