Heaviest snow will fall from 6pm-midnight. Plan for hazardous travel this evening and check road conditions before heading out! #iawx

[NWS Des Moines @NWSDesMoines]

Moderate to heavy snow will spread across northern and central IA this afternoon and tonight. Northern IA will see the heaviest snow, though the band may still shift slightly.

[Iowa Emergency Management Association @IowaEMA]

Snow is covering all of Iowa today and making road conditions less than ideal. If you must travel, do so with extreme caution. If you can hold off a day or so, that's an even better idea.

[Iowa DOT @iowadot]

Today, you'll want to hunker down and let snowplow crews have the roads. But if you absolutely must go, do you have your winter emergency kit in the car? Here's what you need. Build or refresh your kit now! #MustDoThis #WhatToStock #DOTISP
