...BLOWING AND DRIFTING SNOW POSSIBLE MONDAY...

Recent fluffy snowfall from Saturday in combination with very
cold temperatures and 20 to 30 mph southwesterly winds may result
in some blowing and drifting snow Monday. Any blowing snow may
lead to sharply reduced visibility and snow covered roads which
could make travel hazardous, particularly on east-west oriented
roads in rural areas.

Motorists should be prepared for rapidly changing conditions
Monday morning across eastern Iowa, western Illinois and far
northeast Missouri. If you encounter blowing and/or drifting snow
be sure to slow down and use low beams. In addition, bring an
emergency kit that includes extra clothing, and notify someone
where you are going and when you plan to arrive in case you get
stuck.
