April Snow Paralyzed Iowa 15 Years Ago This Week
The spring storm of April 8 and 9, 1973 dumped more than a foot of snow across Iowa. High winds caused massive drifts taller than Plows, stranding travelers, closing schools, and delaying road crews for days. In Dubuque 19.2 inches fell with drifts near 16 feet while casualties totaled over a dozen. Don Rodman recalls long shifts clearing northeast Cedar Rapids streets. The storm ended with warm temperatures melting the aftermath.
