A little more snow...

Another storm system will clip the state tonight and continue to produce some light snowfall through Tuesday night. While snowfall amounts are not expected to be too high, just below advisory criteria, the snow combined with already full ditches may produce some troubled driving conditions over parts of northern Iowa. Temperatures should become a little warmer with the snowfall, and continue to be warmer than the past couple of days through Wednesday.

Total snowfall amounts through the next 36 hours should range between only a trace for areas southwest of a Sioux City to Ottumwa line; with 2-4 inches possible for areas northeast of a Spirit Lake to Waterloo to near Davenport line. The area in between should see 1-2 inches of snowfall... Winds are expected to be breezing, at 10-20 mph which may give way to some blowing snow, especially in those areas where the ditches, etc. are already full.

In a previous post I included an image of snowfall depth across the state, and with the last snowfall there is now an updated snow-depth map that is attached below:

Hey, I was just curious to know if you see any big storms or even possibly a major warming trend as we get into January??
