It is only mid October and we are off running with accumulating snow weather systems! The IEM generates maps like the one presented today for winter storms that produce at least two inches of snowfall and/or have significant impacts / ice. It is an informal accounting based on available NWS and CoCoRaHS snowfall reports. A few reports over two inches were made just west of Des Moines with lighter / trace amounts elsewhere. Needless to say, this is an early snowfall event and the snow had little chance sticking around with warm soil temperatures and brief sunshine this afternoon. Another round of snow is expected overnight into Monday. The craziness of 2020 is being well bolstered by the weather.
