| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A strong storm system passed to the south of Iowa during the 3rd and left a light dusting of snow. The upper air flow became strong cyclonic northwest. An Alberta clipper type storm system moved southeast with the central crossing the southwest corner of the state. Much of the state received from one to four inches of snow. A narrow band of heavy snow fell over south central Iowa. Amounts in the band were in the 5 to 8 inch range. A narrow band extended from Derby toward Lake Rathbun with the heaviest snowfall reported at Derby where 8 inches fell. The snow caused travel problems statewide as the ground temperatures were above freezing at the onset of the snow. Snow melted on the roads and froze after nightfall. The ice persisted into the morning of the 5th and caused a great deal of traffic problems. |
