Snow Moving Out

The accumulating snow is moving out of the state this afternoon, after having dumped as much as a foot of snow on parts of the state. Many locations did receive at least 4-10 inches of snow in the eastern 2/3rds of the state with the heaviest being from Algona to Marshalltown to Ottumwa. Cold NW winds have begun blowing the snow around and this will continue through the evening and overnight hours. Skies will begin to clear tonight (a few peeks of sun even this PM), with temperatures dropping into the single digits and lower teens. A cold day is in store for Wednesday with highs generally in the teens to the lower 20s. A bitterly cold night Wednesday night will see readings drop below zero across the state especially in the heavier snowpack areas. The next chance of some light snow is forecast on Friday, with temperatures rising back into the 20s by the weekend.
