| episode_narrative | A strong storm system tracking slowly out of the Rockies and into the Plains, set up a sustained southerly flow of warmer and increasingly moist air into the area. This flow out of the Gulf of Mexico across snow depths of 5 to 12 inches, led to several prolonged periods of dense fog January 5-8, 2008. Visibilities were frequently at 1/4 mile or less and occasionally near zero, which made for treacherous driving conditions. Several accidents were reported on Monday January 7 in eastern Iowa due to the fog, resulting in one fatality and 3 injuries. The indirect fatality occurred in Dubuque County near Epworth when a motorist was involved in a multi-vehicle wreck. |
