Iowa and other states in the midwest are digging out from a major snow storm that brought blizzard conditions. The featured map is an analysis of snowfall reports from this storm system showing a swath of 8-12 inches from Des Moines up to Madison. Most of the snow fell at a temperature right around freezing, which makes for higher water content than snow at colder temperatures. While this makes for misery to clean as it is very heavy, it does help prevent significant blowing and drifting. Sunshine today and this weekend will certainly help clear roads as air temperatures will remain below freezing.
