Northwest, Iowa — Parts of western Iowa could get snow late tonight, November 4th, and into Saturday, November 5th, with some forecast models showing the potential for several inches of accumulation. Conditions can change quickly and Iowa Department of Transportation spokesman Pete Hjelmstad says if there’s frost or snow covering your vehicle’s windows, it should be a no-brainer that you clear them off before trying to drive.
Hjelmstad says Iowans may need to brush up on their winter driving skills. No matter what the weather, drivers need to slow down, which is something he says hasn’t changed since the early days of the pandemic.
He says motorists would be wise to look before they leap into the driver’s seat.
Hjelmstad also suggests Iowans keep a winter survival kit in their vehicles. For more information on road conditions visit https://511ia.org/.
