An intense low pressure system tracked from the Texas panhandle to near Chicago, and then to upper Michigan December 22-23, 2007. This storm system dumped heavy snow amounts of 4 to 8 inches over most of eastern Iowa. However, snow accumulations were only 2 to 3 inches closer to the Mississippi River, as the snow was mixed with freezing rain and sleet. Behind the storm system, west winds gusted to 50 mph. This led to considerable blowing and drifting snow with near blizzard conditions for a time on Sunday morning December 23. Many roads were closed, especially north of I-80 where the heaviest snow fell.
