Morning snowfall totals on 26 Jan 2004.
A state wide snow storm is currently impacting Iowa this Monday morning. Good thing that it came this week and not last! Snowfall totals approach a foot in extreme Western Iowa. While some may hate the snow, snowfall is a good thing. It provides needed cover for some crops, keeps the ground temperatures warmer for spring melt, and covers up all that nasty brown stuff during winter.
