As the blizzard blew through the state on Thursday, the storm system dropped a handful of inches of snow along with it, leading to big drifts and hazardous travel conditions.
Unofficial snowfall totals as reported by the Iowa State Mesonet:
Marion 6"
Cedar Rapids 5...
After achieving five new record high temperatures in February, Cedar Rapids started March by setting yet another mark and this one came as a surprise to me.
