While much of the United States is just starting to get a feel for cool autumn weather, central Iowa started the week by skipping right over the mild fall season and plunging straight into winter with a thick blanket of snow.
The snow began accumulating Saturday night; however, Monday morning and into the afternoon was when the wintry weather really began to escalate as some places saw nearly 10 inches of snow.
Polk City, Iowa, about 15 miles north of Des Moines, reported 9 inches of snow Monday.
