The winter hits continued for the Iowa area, with yet another system moving through and dropping inches of snowfall across a wide area. In this instance, the storm system under performed expectations compared to initial forecasts, as seen with a widespread winter storm warning of which only about one third to one half of the counties verified.
The general synoptic conditions were similar to previous events, with a mature upper level trough pivoting through, accompanied by 850mb low, and surface low features. Winds were also a non-issue during the event. One of the primary distinctions with this system, versus the system just a few days prior that outperformed expectations, were the tracks of the 850mb and surface features. In this instance, both tracked much further north, predominantly across northwest Iowa. As a result, the areas of best prolonged light to moderate snowfall resided over northern Iowa and areas further north. The resulting snowfall ranged from around 6 to 9 inches across northern Iowa, 3 to 5 inches through central Iowa, and 2 to 4 inches across southern Iowa.
