DES MOINES, IOWA (AP) -- First the snow, now the cold and the wind. Just another winter day in Iowa.
A slow-moving storm was dumping more snow early Tuesday as temperatures plummeted and the winds picked up.
The National Weather Service expected up to a foot of new snow by Tuesday afternoon. Since the storm started Sunday, snow amounts of 6 to 10 inches were common over central and north central Iowa. The snow was still falling over northern and eastern Iowa.
Clear skies moved across southwest Iowa overnight, allowing temperatures to drop to 15 below zero. But in northeast Iowa, it was near 30 degrees above zero in Decorah.
Winds will increase on Tuesday, causing big headaches for drivers with blowing and drifting snow.
