After an active winter weather month of January, February has keep the trend going with a significant storm impacting the state on Thursday. Strong winds combined with brief, but intense snowfall rates along with blowing snow to create blizzard conditions during the day. Travel was difficult with a number of major wrecks reported on the interstates and elsewhere. The featured map of available snowfall reports is a bit noisy due to much of the snow falling horizontally and thus difficult to reliably measure. The highest totals were found over eastern Iowa with far northeastern Iowa approaching six inches. The big story going forward are the coldest temperatures so far this season set to arrive for the weekend and stick around for next week and more.
