Windy and Icy Today, White Christmas Not Likely

Iowans who are dreaming of a white Christmas will likely have to settle for brown and faded green this year. 

Despite the foot and a half of snow that most of us received in the last three weeks, National Weather Service meteorologist Dylan Dodson says a majority of that snow will be gone before December 25th arrives – and any new snow isn’t likely to stick around.

While some Iowans can’t quite get into the Yuletide mood without snow on the ground, Dodson says it’s just not in the cards this year.

Today’s weather – starting as rain, changing to snow showers, combined with strong winds and dropping temperatures – could lead to icy spots and slippery travel for the evening commute.
