Low pressure moved across Missouri on the 10th with an inverted trough extending north and northwest into Iowa. Cold air spilled south across the state, setting the stage for freezing rain initially, then moderate to heavy snow toward the end of the storm. Much of the storm was just to the northwest of the Des Moines CWA, however parts of Emmet and Kossuth Counties were affected, as well as a few areas in Palo Alto County. Freezing rain coated trees and power lines causing power outages with ice accumulations of one to two tenths of an inch. Following the ice, snow accumulated to near 4 inches in the northern parts Emmet and Kossuth Counties. The combination of snow, ice, and winds of 20 to 30 MPH caused damage and numerous event cancellations. About 2,000 Iowa homes and businesses were still without power on the morning of the 11th. More than 18,000 Iowa customers lost power in the storm at one point. Governor Terry Branstad issued a disaster proclamation for 10 counties: Clay, Dickinson, Emmet, Kossuth, Lyon, O���Brien, Osceola, Palo Alto, Plymouth and Sioux. A federal disaster declaration was made for Emmet County, as well as Dickinson, Lyon, and Osceola. MidAmerican Energy called in about 200 employees and contractors from Iowa, Missouri and Kansas for the cleanup and by the evening of the 11th power was returned to all but 40 customers.
