The weekend winter storm was as advertised bringing a travel paralyzing amount of snow and blowing snow to much of Iowa. Much of the northwestern half of the state remains with a travel advisory or closed roads this Sunday evening. The featured map presents a smoothed analysis of reports and likely under-estimates the sharp gradients on both the northern and southern portion of this swath of heavy snowfall. The snow combined with very strong winds prompted the issuance of a Blizzard Warning. It will take some time to get the roads back open and a week of bitter cold temperatures well below freezing will not help.
