Would this coat be good for Iowa over thanksgiving and for Virginia over new years? -

It might be okay if you are wearing a sweater underneath but it doesn t look heavy enough to me. You didn t say where in IA you are going but the average in November is about 40 with dips into the 20 s at night.As for Virginia, again you didn t say where you were going and that can vary greatly because of the mountains and coast but it can be in the 10 s.
