A somewhat surprising Saturday snowstorm surpassed forecast expectations and dumped a significant amount of very wet snow over central Iowa. The heaviest totals approaching eight inches were found over the western Des Moines metro area. As with the storm this past Thursday, the majority of the snow fell during the daytime and compacted/melted making for a difficult measurement. Temperatures were slightly cooler than Thursday, so less rain mixed in with the snow and thus boosted totals. It looks like this snow will stick around for a few days as a return to warmer weather arrives later this week.
