More Snow!!

As mentioned in early postings, winter isn't quite over yet. This latest system that is going to roll through the plains states is putting down some fairly impressive snow amounts through last night. More snow is expected through the day today and into tonight, with total accumulations approaching a half foot in extreme northwest Iowa. Latest snow amounts show generally a 2-4 inch swath of snowfall that fell last night and early this morning over the northwest quarter of the state.

Currently in a lull as far as snowfall goes, expect some intermittent light snowfall throughout the day and picking up this evening into tonight. Total snowfall totals are going to be widely scattered through the state, as banding of the snow is likely to occur and give fairly small areas of the state some hefty amounts. The snow is a nice wet snow, making it quite heavy to scoop off of the pavement. With temperatures staying near or above freezing, expect the heavy snowfall to continue with the possibility that it mixes with rainfall over some areas.

Still getting quite a bit of stuff done over break here, so not too much of an update. However, hopefully I'll get a recap in of this event and a forecast on how the Easter weekend will be later on.
