'22-'23 Winter Storm #7

Posted: 20 Dec 2022 08:25 AM

While more of an annoying snowfall than anything, a light round of snow visited the state on Monday and into Tuesday. A few isolated two inch snowfall reports were found over far northcentral Iowa. The featured map presents an analysis of available NWS and CoCoRaHS reports. This snow was a bit of a messaging headache as the big storm arrives on Thursday and a massive winter storm watch is already in effect for it. Sadly, sometimes folks conflate the two events and think the forecast already busted due to the minimal snow that fell already. Anyway, the big and impactful storm is still on track. Please pay close attention to the forecast and realize that snowfall totals aren't necessarily important when winds are howling and wind chill temperatures are at life threatening levels!
