Historical Road Conditions

Select Road Segment: Select Year Select Month

The Iowa Environmental Mesonet archives the road condition reports as generated by the Iowa State Patrol. From this page, you can generate a listing of road conditions per road segment for a particular month or a listing of all road conditions for a particular time. Currently, our archive is basically complete back to 14 Feb 2006.

You can find an archive of the raw text reports by navigating the IEM's archive here: https://mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/archive/data/2005/01/30/text/
look for the .STOIA files. All timestamps are in Greenwhich Mean Time (GMT or UTC), which is 6 hours ahead of us in the winter. The directory structure of the site is ordered by year, month, and then day. The example URL is for 30 Jan 2005.
