'25-'26 Winter Storm #14
Date: 02 Feb 08:05 AM
Votes: Good: 14   Bad: 0 Abstain: 0

After a number of rounds of snow flurries last week that did not produce much more than a trace of reported depth, a slightly more substantial area of snow moved across Iowa on Sunday with a few locations reporting just over an inch of new snowfall. There was also an area of freezing rain during the day on Sunday over northeastern Iowa that made this event more than just a nuisance snowfall. We will have another chance of light snowfall tonight and then a warm-up is forecast later in the week with temperatures finally returning to above freezing levels.
