Storms bring snow back as spring approaches

Wide sections of Iowa’s northern half are seeing heavy snowfall this morning while it’s mostly rain mixed with a few flurries in central and southern Iowa.
Meteorologist Brooke Hagenhoff, at the National Weather Service in Johnston, says the late winter snowstorm is causing travel slowdowns and school closures in some areas, especially as you approach the Minnesota border.
“The most we’ve seen has been, as expected, across the far north,” Hagenhoff says. “We’ve got a report of five inches in Algona and some other areas there, Swea City, Iowa Falls. It’s really not as much as forecast. We had quite a bit of rain that fell before it so it slowed down the transition.”
