Day 357: Winter Weather Advisories
As the cyclone that has pounded the west coast begins to move east into the central United States, winter weather is certainly a possibility. As such, local National Weather Service offices have hoisted Winter Weather Advisories for a large portion of the United States. Current indications are that central Iowa will be the big winner (or loser, depending on your point of view) in terms of maximum snowfall, with isolated areas receiving upwards of 8 inches of snow.
