The third winter storm of this crazy winter weather week in Iowa was a big one and brought plenty of snow along with strong winds to create blizzard conditions that are persisting into today. The featured map is a preliminary attempt at a snowfall analysis from this multi-day event. Measuring snow that falls sideways is always fraught with peril and the multi-day nature of event also creates challenges to get reliable snowfall totals. So the map will be regenerated later today once more COOP and CoCoRaHS reports are received. Road conditions over the state remain horrible with blowing snow over rural areas creating impassable snow drifts. To make matters worse, the coldest air of the season has arrived and will stick around for a number of days. If there is any bright side, this is pretty much the worst that winter weather can offer in Iowa, so it is only upwards from here!
