MASON CITY – Heavy snow has returned to the North Iowa area.
One inch of snow per hour is expected across the region, tapering off by afternoon, with winds picking up. Blowing snow will again be a concern. Roads have become ice-covered and dangerous. Drivers should take extra precautions, as numerous accidents in recent weeks have been reported, some with fatalities.
Inside Mason City, roads are covered and slick. Cars are sliding and having difficulty stopping. Some intersections and main roads are plowed at this time but others are snowed-in from the plowing.
A wintery mix is expected for Monday. See a briefing here.
