Winter Storm Bust!

Well, at least for the portions of Iowa that were expecting a sign of winter this was a big time snowfall bust. The system was there and it put down plenty of precipitation, unfortunately just not in the frozen form of snow. Instead areas of northwest Iowa and much of the surrounding areas ended up with rain, some freezing rain on occasions and then yesterday into today some dense fog. Other areas to the north in central Minnesota did get a good mix of winter precip along with our areas to the west. Some areas of central/western Nebraska did get close to a foot of snow, with areas of Colorado getting snow measured in feet!

All in all, another winter storm bust for some areas of the plains… Currently there is a slight chance of some snow just before Christmas that may be able to make some things white. But, don’t be hoping for anything as it certainly looks like it will be a green/brown christmas instead of the hopeful white one.
