 | Title : Continued impact of snow
 | Date  : 13 Mar 07:08 AM

 +----------------------------------------------

Our recent warm up to near record high temperatures has been greatly tempered by nearly a foot of snow that still exists over Northcentral Iowa.  Today will be a repeat of Monday with highs even warmer over Southern Iowa.  A cold front will sweep the state tomorrow and drop our temperatures back near normal.
