Overview
A Winter Storm that tracked just south of the area still managed to drop a band of heavy snow into parts of northeast Iowa and southern Wisconsin during the overnight hours of January 25-26th, 2021. While impacts were higher to the south, a heavy snow band of 4-8" fell near the Iowa-Wisconsin border between Prairie du Chien, WI and Dubuque, IA.
There was a tight gradient in the snowfall, with very little accumulation closer to Interstate 90.
