Winter Storm (2/28 - 3/2)

2/28 Update #1

The National Weather Service has upgraded much of the advisories and watches for the state, as much of central Iowa has been now put under a Blizzard Warning. Other portions of the state are still under a Blizzard Watch and may be upgraded by tomorrow morning, otherwise at least upgraded to some type of winter storm warning/advisory. The Des Moines weather service is going to hit this one hard with many areas already in trouble with the ice and snow still hanging on trees, etc. Continued freezing rain followed by heavy snow and strong winds will produce some downright terrible conditions over the area. Below are links to the latest issuances by the NWS:
