Extreme northeastern Iowa got clipped by a rather intense band of snowfall on Saturday. A few reports of six inches or more were found within Iowa and amounts approaching 10 inches just across the border into Minnesota. NWS La Crosse has created a nice summary of this event and explains the meteorology behind why it happened. For today, it will be far southwestern Iowa's turn to get clipped by a winter storm that will mostly stay to the south of Iowa. With it now being the first of March, it is not clear if these two storms constitute March "coming in like a lion or lamb", but it could certainly be a lot worst and even a lot better than the weather for today.
