An active month for winter weather closed out with another storm bringing heavy snowfall to the state. The featured analysis of available NWS and CoCoRaHS reports shows Cedar Rapids within the bullseye for snowfall with over six inches reported in the area. The snow was not the only story with this storm as significant freezing rainfall was also observed over eastern Iowa. The combination of ice and snow making for a big mess to clean up and navigate through. So far this winter season we have avoided significant cold air events with, but the present forecast for next weekend looks to bring the coldest air of the season and have it stick around for a week or more.
