Winter Storm Magnus brought a swath of snow from parts of Kansas, southeast Nebraska, northern Missouri and Iowa to southeast Minnesota, Wisconsin and northern Michigan.
While a relatively modest amount for a late January storm in the nation's heartland, that falling snow did snarl rush hour traffic in cities such as Des Moines, Iowa on January 30, 2013. This snow was accompanied by winds gusting over 30 mph, reducing visibilities.
