A deep western trough underwent lee-cyclogenesis across the southern Rockies with the low center tracking northeast across the southern Plains and into the midwest. Central and southern Iowa remained well within the deformation zone of the cyclone, allowing for the heaviest snow to fall in a band from southwest Iowa through central Iowa with a tight accumulation gradient across northern Iowa.  Forcing was particularly strong with the system, with lift within the dendritic growth zone exceeding -20 ubar/s for large portions of the state. Many areas saw snow rates exceed 1 inch per hour.
