DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Snow continues to fall on the lower half of Iowa, snarling traffic as the snow blankets roads. The southbound lanes of Interstate 35 near Decatur City remained blocked mid-morning Saturday after a semitrailer jackknifed and tipped over amid the winter storm around 2:30 a.m.
The Mason City Globe Gazette reports that a passenger bus then hit the overturned semi, leading to minor injuries for one bus passenger. Seven passengers were on the bus at the time of the crash.
Some reports show 10 inches of snow had fallen spots in the southwestern corner of Iowa, and the National Weather Service has issued a winter storm warning for a large section of the state near the Missouri border until 6 p.m. Saturday.

DES MOINES — Officials with the Iowa Dept. of Natural Resources said Friday, that Iowa received 45 inches of rainfall – nearly 10 inches more than normal, in 2018. That puts 2018 second only to 1993 for average statewide precipitation, according to the year-end Water Summary Update. While there was some dryness in the southwestern portion of the state, 27 northern Iowa counties marked their wettest year on record. Streamflow was above normal for most of the year, while shallow groundwater levels recovered from low levels in southern Iowa to become normal to above normal for the entire state.
Tim Hall, DNR’s coordinator of hydrology resources, said in the report, “The concerns about dryness and drought in southeastern Iowa were ended with the wet summer and fall, and the entire state is in pretty good shape for groundwater going into the normally dry months of winter.” Temperatures were typical of Iowa weather in 2018 – all over the map. April was the coldest on record. May was the third warmest, and this June was the 10th warmest. November was 6.4 degrees below average and December was 5.1 degrees above average.

The report is prepared by technical staff from Iowa DNR, the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship, IIHR—Hydroscience and Engineering, and the U.S. Geological Survey, in collaboration with Iowa Homeland Security and Emergency Management Department.
