As mentioned, all of northern Iowa and surrounding states are in a blizzard warning.
Many of the roads are closed due to the heavy snowfall, and Kurtz says Iowa’s weather can change quickly.
Tow bans are now in effect for Plymouth, Sioux, Woodbury, Ida, Sac, O’Brien, Clay, and Dickinson Counties. The Iowa Highway Patrol officer explains what we should expect as a result of the blizzard conditions.
