A small amount of snowfall made for a tremendous impact over central Iowa on Thursday. Snowfall totals were generally less than three inches, but combined with rush hour traffic, strong winds, and pavement temperatures that were initially warm enough to melt the snow and then quickly freeze it, created for dangerous driving conditions. The city of Des Moines was especially hard hit by this storm with blizzard conditions existing during peak traffic hours Thursday evening. The good news is that warmer temperatures and sunshine will make quick work of this snow and ice over the weekend.
