Each year the IEM Daily feature attempts to document snowfall totals from individual storm events. The informal policy is for a storm to produce at least two inches of snow and/or create significant travel impacts. While some parts of Iowa have seen light snow prior to yesterday, totals were very light from those events and thus not counted here. This first significant snowfall event of the season is a tricky one as the second event is already here this Tuesday morning and thus some of the 24 hour reported snowfall totals covered parts of both storms. So some care was taken with the featured map to exclude those totals covering the second storm from this map. Caveat emptor... So the highest totals from the first wave according to available NWS COOP, Local Storm Reports and CoCoRaHS reports were confined to northwestern Iowa.
