A very significant snow storm for December impacted Iowa on Tuesday with eight plus inches reported over a stripe from southwest to east-central Iowa. The featured map presents an analysis of available reports received so far from the NWS and CoCoRaHS. The map will be updated later today once more reports are received. Snowfall amounts quickly dropped off over southern Iowa as temperatures aloft warmed and precipitation fell as rain, freezing rain, and sleet. In general, this is a rather significant snowfall for December as these types of moisture rich storms are more relegated to the early springtime season. Our next winter storm arrives on New Years as our active winter pattern rolls on.
