| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A powerful cold front steamed through the region around sunrise dropping temperatures 20 degrees in less than half an hour. Temperatures fell from the mid 50s into the teens within a few hours and the single digits below zero that night. 1 to 3 inches of freezing rain, sleet, and snow fell and caused icy roads and disruption of electrical power. Most Schools canceled classes or dismissed early. Many others had trouble getting home with icy roads and difficulty just getting into there cars due to doors and door locks being iced over. Glaze was so thick that Muscatine Postmaster Dyann Roby said "most of the 35 collection boxes were frozen shut"; however other mail services continued. |
