As rated by the IEM, the #3 weather event for 2007 was the series of winter storms that impacted the state in late Febuary and early March. The first brought a crippling ice storm and extreme snowfall amounts approaching 20 inches in Cresco. The second was a full blown blizzard shutting down the interstates in Northern and Western Iowa. Strong winds blew in both storms helping to bring down ice loaded power transmission lines. The featured image is a webcam show from the ISU Ag Farm showing a tractor and a backhoe up to its wheels in snow. The drift in front of this building was 9 feet high!
