The National Weather Service warns of dangerous conditions with gusts over 30 mph and visibility dropping below a half mile. Cedar Rapids snow may top 3 inches but wind and cold create life threatening exposure risks. Salvation Army bell ringers and others stay exposed as conditions worsen, with a potential $10,000 Linn County and Anamosa kettle match from an anonymous donor.
