A BLANKET OF WHITE!
The white gold finally graced us with its prescence this season and it did not disappoint! Unfortunately it came during a holiday weekend but at least it was pretty. Snowfall totals ranged from an inch to up to 4 inches!

Cedar Rapids gets the bullseye golden shovel award this time! Here's a wider view of the storm:

This is the latest first measurable snow for a lot of the area since 2017! It is early for a storm of this magnitude but not out of the question.
With the snow on the ground temperatures will struggle to climb up on Monday:

It will be sunny but still cold on Tuesday:

We'll stay dry and the snow will melt away after a few sunny days!
