Heavy snow from late winter storm snarls travel in Iowa


DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Heavy snow has blanketed much of northern Iowa, snarling traffic and closing schools and services, as a late winter storm moves through the region.

Online reports issued by the Iowa Department of Transportation show snow and ice covering roads in north-central Iowa and partially covering roads for much of the rest of the northern half of the state.

The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm warning for three dozen counties in Iowa's northern half and a winter weather advisory for several more counties in the region.

The weather service expects some areas to see up to 8 inches of snow by Monday afternoon.
