| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A wintery mix of rain, freezing rain, sleet, and heavy wet snow was accompanied by a few reports of lightning. Extreme lightning damage was done to a home in Washington, Iowa. The greatest impact of the storm, however, resulted from the two-to-eight-inch snowfall across the area. The heaviest snows fell along and north of a Cedar Rapids to Dubuque line. Lesser snow accumulations to the south were the result of mixed sleet and rain. Slick and snow-covered roads caused school delays and cancellations, and numerous accidents including one involving three dozen cars. Scattered utility outages also occurred. The city of Cedar Rapids estimated the cost of snow removal for this one event to range from thirty to fourty thousand dollars. |
