The state of Iowa is getting slammed by winter weather.

According to the Iowa State University Iowa Environmental Mesonet as of 7am Friday, portions of Dallas County have seen six or more inches of snowfall, while the majority of Dallas and Guthrie counties are between two to six inches. Greene County is ranging between two to four inches of snowfall. The Iowa Department of Transportation 511 website is reporting several counties with tow bans, including Greene, Dallas and Guthrie counties.

According to the National Weather Service, most of the state is under a blizzard warning, including the Raccoon Valley Radio area. Additional snowfall between two to six inches is expected through tomorrow. There are also high winds between 35-45 miles per hour which is causing snow drifts and poor visibility.
