 Overview 

All of eastern Iowa, northwest Illinois and northeast saw the first snow of the season yesterday and today as a robust storm system tracked across the region. Snow primarily fell from Saturday evening through midday Sunday, and tapered off by early Sunday afternoon. While some additional light snow showers fell Sunday afternoon, these provided little in the way of addition impacts or accumulation.

Snowfall totals ranged from about 1-3 inches for most, with localized higher amounts around or a little over 4 inches observed in banding that developed across northeast Missouri into eastern Iowa. This lead to snow covered roads and significantly reduced visibility, impacting those traveling from Thanksgiving festivities.
