| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A vigorous storm system over Wisconsin produced very strong winds across Eastern Iowa and Northwest Illinois. Numerous schools and businesses closed early due to the storm, and many accidents were reported as gusty west winds around 45 mph, coupled with blowing snow produced near blizzard conditions. Widespread blowing and drifting was reported along with snow and ice packed roads and visibilities less than one mile. In one location along Interstate-380 and Highway 30 near Cedar Rapids an estimated 40 cars slid into ditches between 7 AM and 9 AM. Other accidents also blocked traffic on U.S. 61 near Mediapolis and south of Burlington. |
