Snowfall labeled not a blizzard slows Iowa travel and schools

Wind speeds remained below blizzard thresholds, but the storm forced two hour school delays in Cedar Rapids and potential full day cancellations elsewhere with snow emergencies declared across eastern Iowa. Snow amounts ranged from 4 to 8 inches in the region, with airport delays and tow zones in Cedar Rapids.
