Did you know there are specific terms for weather fears? From Astraphobia (fear of thunderstorms) to Heliophobia (fear of the sun), weather can be a source of anxiety for many. Learn how to prepare for hazardous conditions at weather.gov/safety. #Halloween

Large swaths of Iowa received ~20" of snow this week as well, especially as you work east. *Image is an estimate with interpolation between available stations. Stations continue to trickle in. **Mainly uses 7am-7am observers, reason for the Jan 8 - Jan 13 time frame. #iawx
