A low pressure system worked its way out of Canada and into northern/northeastern Minnesota and continued to slowly trek east-southeast across the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Down into Iowa, a cold front swept in from the northwest and resulted in widespread sustained winds in excess of 25 mph and gusts in excess of 35 mph.  With a sizable snow pack on the ground across large portions of northern and central Iowa, the high winds picked up loose snow and fractured the snow pack.  The result, numerous reports of whiteout conditions were relayed by county Sheriff's offices and the Iowa DOT, including the closure of Interstate 35 from Ames to Mason City.
