February Winter Storm(s)

Just a quick update with a recap of yesterday's snowfall totals, and a look at the next winter storm that may effect our area come Tuesday into Wednesday. Below is an image of the snowfall totals across the state, with the heaviest areas near Omaha/Council Bluffs, and then also near Des Moines. Traveling was trecherous yesterday with snow melting and re-freezing on roadways... This snow looks to stick around for a while, at least until our next winter storm can add to the totals.




The next winter storm is taking aim at Iowa once again. Significant snowfall is a possibility, but also is the chance of mixed precipitation over the state with rain/snow mixtures. The latest graphic from the NWS shows their initial thoughts, later updates will address this winter storm.
