First rain, then sleet and then snow fell on the Perry area Sunday, with trees and lawns receiving a light dusting of the winter whiteness.
Readers are reminded that the National Weather Service (NWS) in Des Moines has issued a freeze warning that will remain in effect from a 1.m. to 10 a.m. Monday morning.
Temperatures are forecast to drop into the upper 20s to near 30 degrees.
A freeze watch means sub-freezing temperatures are possible. The NWS said these conditions could kill crops and other sensitive vegetation. The below-freezing temperatures will result in a killing freeze and end the growing season for central Iowa.
