| Episode Narrative | The first winter storm of the season arrived on December 3-4, 2010. Low pressure was located in Nebraska with a warm front lifting out of the Plains. Temperatures ranged from the 20s in eastern Iowa to the 60s in the southern and central Plains. A 40 knot low level jet was pointed into the region with strong warm air advection producing bands of heavy snow. Snowfall amounts of at least 6 inches were noted in portions of eastern Iowa and northwest Illinois. As much as 9.4 inches of snow was measured at Thomson, Illinois in Carroll county, and 9.2 inches near Elizabeth, Illinois in Jo Daviess county. Nine inches of snow was reported near Princeton, Illinois and near Dubuque, Iowa. There were numerous accidents and cars in the ditches due to the snowfall. |
