It’s the first winter storm of the season for eastern Iowa. National Weather Service meteorologist Andrew Ansorge says the heaviest amounts will stay to our south, but the Delaware County area could likely pick up several inches of snow by Thursday morning.
Parts of Iowa got snow in the first round on Monday night. Ansorge says round three will come at the end of the week.
State Climatologist Justin Glisan says we’ve been in a snow drought across the state – anywhere from 14 to 22 inches below average for this season – and January was about six inches below average. But he says the weather pattern could see February beat the snowfall average.
Glisan says February has shown that pattern recently – and March has the potential to bring more snow.
