Winter Storm Expected Wednesday, December 19

A major winter storm is expected to target Iowa Wednesday afternoon, which means it will come with a vengeance. According to the National Weather Service forecasters, drivers should expect a rain/snow mix. Storm totals are expected to fall between six to 12 inches.

  • Be patient and allow extra travel time.
  • Slow down to a speed that’s safe for current conditions.
  • Keep your lights and windshield clean.
  • Use low gears to keep traction, especially on hills.
