Over the winter season, the IEM produces analysis plots of snowfall reports and then numbers the storms as we go. Storms that produce a dusting or maybe an inch or two in Iowa are generally ignored from this tally. The featured image is an analysis of snowfall reports for winter storm on Tuesday that brought upwards of 5 inches of snow to a very limited swath over extreme northern Iowa. This system also produced some mixed precipitation over northern Iowa later in the day on Tuesday. There were a couple of weak storms prior to this system, but they did not produce the high total that was reported with this one.

Meanwhile, the ongoing blizzard for Wednesday into Thursday is piling up the snowfall totals and some locations will pick up over a foot of snowfall.
