  Traffic could be heavy for Santa heading down from the North Pole, so be ready to make room for his sleigh because ‘he knows if you’ve been merging…he knows who’s in your lane…he knows if you’ve been sig-nal-ing, so be good for goodness sake!’ https://t.co/jHOd1jYlgC https://t.co/06JeJdVeyZ

  As we prepare for another system Thursday that will bring light snow to parts of northern and eastern Iowa along with gusty winds over 40 mph, take a moment to refresh on approaching snow plows with caution. Remember not to pass our plows on the shoulder! Thank you! https://t.co/mJQbbSeFOM

  A wintry mix with light snow has moved across northern counties and into portions of central Iowa tonight. Partially snow-covered roads may also be icy. Prepare for rapidly changing & slick travel conditions into morning commutes including parts of I-80, I-35, US-20 & US-30. https://t.co/6C9FJeTdwZ
