A cold front sank southeast across the state during the day on the 28th.  Initially, surface temperatures were well below freezing while the 850 mb temperatures were between 5 and 10 degrees C.  Precipitation began falling during the predawn hours over northern Iowa and spread south and east during the day.  Initially, the precipitation fell as freezing rain.  As evaporational cooling took hold, the freezing rain began to change to sleet and light snow.  Parts of northeast Iowa received 1 to 3 inches of snow after the initial shot of freezing rain.  Central and southwest Iowa received mostly freezing rain.  Amounts were not all that heavy with most areas receiving one tenth inch or less of freezing rain.  The icing did cause some travel problems as the highways became slick.  Some events were postponed or canceled, however the icing was not a major problem.
