| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | An intense upper level low pressure swung northeast across the central U.S. on the 24, bringing a swath of heavy snow across Iowa. A band of five to eight inch snow fell from south central into southeast Iowa during the day Christmas Eve. Some freezing rain was mixed with the snow, however the icing was not a serious problem. Some of the heavier snowfall included 8 inches at Ottumwa, along with several 8 inch reports along the southern tier of counties from Ottumwa west to south of Creston. Seven inches was received in Chariton, with six to eight inches recorded in Poweshiek County. The snow made travel difficult as the consistency of the snow was of the heavy wet variety. Roads were slushy and gradually became snow covered during the late afternoon hours. |
