Powerful snowstorm causes near white-outs as it moves over Iowa

(Radio Iowa) – A Snow Squall Warning was issued this (Thursday) morning for parts of western and central Iowa, due to visibility being greatly reduced by heavy snow.

The D-O-T says many roads across Iowa’s western half are completely snow-covered. National Weather Service meteorologist Brooke Hagenhoff says the storm system is headed east, roughly following Highway 30 and Interstate 80, and may dump up to four inches of snow. She says a second winter storm may be looming late Saturday and into Sunday with the potential for more heavy snow.

That system will leave behind much colder weather, as she says we’ll have high temperatures 15 to 20 degrees below normal.
