It's beginning to look a lot more like winter in Iowa, with several inches of snow falling across the Des Moines metro on Monday.
A snow squall was issued for Dallas, Jasper and Polk counties that expired at 12:45 p.m. Monday, the first ever for the metro.
Iowa's first-ever snow squall warning was issued in December 2019 in eastern Iowa.
If you got an alert on your phone, it was sent out because heavy snow and low visibility are happening during a peak travel time. Traveling was not advised while the warning was in effect.
The heaviest precipitation hit between I-80 and Highway 30, similar to the snowfall pattern from over the weekend.
"3" so far in Ankeny!," Chief Meteorologist Brad Edwards tweeted around 11:20 a.m.
