DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – Authorities say snow totals ranging from 2 to 6 inches have been reported in central Iowa. A National Weather Service winter weather advisory says up to 7 inches is expected in some areas before the storms leave the area by midmorning Wednesday. Service meteorologist Darren Snively says that roads will be slick, so people will have to remember how to drive safely in winter conditions. No weather-related road closures have been reported, although several highways in the north-south middle third of the state were covered with snow or a slushy mixture, and some power outages were reported.

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (AP) – An Omaha, Neb., woman has been sentenced to 80 months in federal prison for her role in an Iowa-based conspiracy to make methamphetamine. The U.S. attorney’s office says 35-year-old Jennifer Biggerstaff was sentenced on Nov. 4 in U.S. District Court. She pleaded guilty in August to conspiracy to manufacture methamphetamine. Prosecutors say she participated in a scheme in which 5 1/2 pounds of methamphetamine was made at a farm in rural Mills County between February 2003 and May 2011. They say Biggerstaff and others involved in the conspiracy bought pseudoephedrine from stores in Iowa, Nebraska and Missouri, with the popular decongestant being used to make methamphetamine. Others also stole anhydrous ammonia in southwest Iowa. Three others have already been sentenced in connection with the case. Three others await sentencing.
