“Webster County was right on the gradient,” Krull said.

Four miles north of Fort Dodge, there was a report of 4.4 inches of snowfall on the ground, Krull reported.

Meanwhile, three miles east of Fort Dodge was a report of 1.3 inches.

“Webster County was in a sharp cut-off zone,” Krull said. “There were higher amounts to the north and northwest.”

Dylan Hagen, Webster County emergency management coordinator, considered the county fortunate.

“We stayed right around freezing or above freezing, so when it hit the ground, it didn’t stick around long for the roads,” Hagen said. “There were a few slick spots.”

Hagen said Wednesday afternoon that most of the roads were wet, but seasonal.

Hagen said there were a few minor accidents in the area.

Calhoun County Emergency Management Coordinator Shane Voith said that the storm had little impact on his county.

“We really didn’t have much,” Voith said. “It’s not really bad. The radio’s been quiet this morning.”

Jarika Eisentrager, emergency management coordinator for Wright County, said the county received between 2 and 4 inches of snow overnight and the roads had been “completely covered” overnight and into the morning.

“We had some cars in the ditches,” she said. “But I haven’t had any reported accidents. … The wind has been blowing and it’s been hard to see while driving.”

To try to mitigate winter weather problems in the county, Eisentrager posts from the Wright County Emergency Management Facebook page to keep residents updated on what’s happening with the weather and road conditions.

“We’re also making sure the plows are out, getting salt on the roads, getting the roads clear,” she said. “And just making sure people know to drive safe and take some extra time to get where they need to go.”

Sac County Emergency Management Director Jim Bullock said his county received 4.5 inches of snow overnight, but that there were no accidents reported as of mid-morning on Wednesday.

Pocahontas County also received 3 to 4 inches of snow, according to Pocahontas County Emergency Management Coordinator Russ Jergens.

“The snow was so heavy, it created a lot of icy conditions, but we didn’t have any major problems that I’m aware of,” he said.

In Kossuth County, 4 inches of snowfall was measured in Algona. Swea City had 3.4 inches.

David Penton, the emergency management coordinator in Kossuth County, said wind and snow continued to blow across roads Wednesday morning.

“The east, west roads are very slick,” Penton said as he sat in his car at the intersection of U.S. Highway 18 and Iowa Highway 15 near Whittemore.

Penton said the weather caused multiple accidents in the county.

“We have had a few accidents dealing with jackknifed semis,” Penton said.

Penton said that the precipitation started at about 4 p.m. Tuesday and quickly turned to a heavy, wet snow.

Penton said even though the winds have been strong, he hopes with warm enough temperatures the snow will melt pretty fast.

“It’s just too early for this,” Penton said.

Krull reported wind gusts of up to 50 mph east of Interstate 35.

In Fort Dodge, a wind gust of 33 mph registered between 5 a.m. and 6 a.m. Wednesday.

The high for Thursday in Fort Dodge is 33 degrees.

“Thursday afternoon will be dry,” Krull said. “Late in the evening after 11 p.m., we are looking at potential for freezing drizzle to develop in the area. That will continue early into the morning on Friday.”
