Snowfall amounts through the northern portion of Iowa are well above what was expected last night and even this morning. As the system moved through the area, sufficient moisture and some instability in the atmosphere actually allowed for some strong thunderstorms in the state. Some of the thunderstorms were even included in the snowfall across the state, several reports of thundersnow have been seen. Total amounts for snow are significant in some areas, a list of some of the higher amounts in areas listed below.
Worthington, MN: 4 Inches
Jackson, MN: 5 Inches
LuVerne, MN: 1 Inch
Sibley, IA: 1 Inch
Cherokee, IA: 4 Inches
Spirit Lake, IA: 5 Inches
Spencer, IA: 6 Inches
Sioux Rapids, IA: 6 Inches
Storm Lake, IA: 4 Inches
Emmetsburg, IA: 9 Inches
Swea City, IA: 6.6 Inches
Thompson, IA: 10 Inches
Ames, IA: 1 Inch

Several other reports of snow throughout northeast IA/southeast MN and into Wisconsin. Many of those reports ranged from 4-8 inches of snow, more still falling in some of those locations now. Several winter storm warnings were issued, along with heavy snow warnings, winter weather advisories, snow advisories, etc… Very impressive first winter storm that went across the state today, I do have some pictures from the ISU Dorms of the snow falling and what it currently looks like after the snow has now stopped.
