A quick moving winter storm dumped a number of inches of fluffy snow over much of Iowa on Thursday afternoon and into the evening. Having the snow fall during peak traffic hours made for some difficult travel and brisk winds were able to blow this snow around. This snowfall also added to the deep snow pack that exists thanks to the previous three storms that have yet to melt. The featured map presents an analysis of available NWS and CoCoRaHS reports. A few isolated four inch reports were found in the Des Moines and Ottumwa area. Bitter cold air and dangerous wind chills are back in time for the weekend, but the good news for those of you wishing for some melting is that above freezing temperatures are expected next week.
